The Winning Mix: 3 key ingredients for a Browns victory over the Cincinnati Bengals - clevelandbrowns.com

3. Quick start followed by a full 60-minute performance

The Browns are 2-0 this year when they strike first on the scoreboard and are 4-0 when leading at halftime. Getting out to a quick start always sets the team on the right course, and that is especially true in the division, where the Browns are 1-2 this year and have not scored first in any of the three games. They were able to overcome that against the Bengals, answering an early Cincinnati field goal with a Chubb touchdown to take a 7-3 lead; one they would not relinquish all game.

The Browns have yet to play a complete 60-minute game as a team, but that is especially true on the offensive side of the ball. Through six games, the Browns point breakdown by quarter is as follows: First Quarter: 23, Second Quarter: 79, First Half Total: 102, Third Quarter: 24, Fourth Quarter: 37 and Second Half Total: 61.

The Browns need to be a faster starting offense right out of the gates and a better second half team, which will allow them to fully control games against teams they should beat, while being able to come from behind in the second half when necessary.

Defensively, the points allowed by quarter breaks down like this: First Quarter: 51, Second Quarter: 41, First Half Total: 92, Third Quarter: 40, Fourth Quarter: 55, and Second Half Total: 95.

When you look at both sides of the ball together, the Browns are running a significant -28 point differential in the opening quarter of the game and a -18 point differential in the final quarter of the game. The second quarter has been the magic one for the Browns, as they have outscored their opponents by 39 thus far. In a shocking stat, Mayfield has thrown eight of his 10 touchdowns in quarter No. 2 with only one interception. Smoothing out that kind of production over four quarters will lead to many comfortable victories, regardless of the opponent. Consistency is key, as head coach Kevin Stefanski says, and this week would be a great one to see the Browns take it to the Bengals on both sides of the ball for the full 60 minutes, thereby making a real statement on the road.
