The Cleveland Browns had one of their best offensive days of the season in Week 12. Unfortunately, their defense couldn't find a way to stop shooting itself in the foot during a 30-16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

DeShone Kizer briefly left the game to be evaluated for a concussion, but he returned after missing just one series, and beat his Projected Fantasy Points total with ease. In fact, the Browns put Kizer, Isaiah Crowell, Corey Coleman and Duke Johnson all over their PFP totals despite the fact that they only scored one offensive touchdown.

The Bengals weren't going to be denied in this game, though. Whereas Cleveland spent the first three quarters settling for Zane Gonzalez field goals, the Bengals were scoring touchdowns. Three of their six scoring drives hit paydirt.

Joe Mixon had the best day of his young career, picking up 115 rushing yards and a touchdown to go with 51 yards as a receiver. What was once a three-man backfield with Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard has clearly turned into a one-man show. Bernard only had his hands on the ball four times for the game.
