The Cleveland Browns played their first game after Odell Beckham Jr. left the team and they could have never hoped for any better result. The Browns defeated the Cincinnati Bengals by 41-16, making their records even at 5-4.

It was not just a win for the Browns; it was more like making a statement that they have an identity beyond OBJ and that they can also thrive without him. Which is exactly what they did. The Browns played as their lives depended on it and, in the end, produced a resounding score to preen upon.

Baker Mayfield was on a mission as he recorded 14 passes of 21 attempts covering 218 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. However, he was not alone in having an impactful game. Nick Chubb also rushed for 137 yards on 14 carries with an average of 9.8 yards per carry, scoring two touchdowns.
