The Cincinnati Bengals will need to break a trend in Week 7 by stealing a road win against the Cleveland Browns. Should Joe Burrow and the Bengals make that happen, they would move the needle on the season to 3-4. Lose, and 2-5 effectively ends everything. But the Bengals haven’t done that since 2017 — and Burrow never has. Normally, the way Burrow’s offense has played lately would be a major reason for hope this time. He had an MVPish stretch for a trio of games and has settled on a 71.6 completion percentage with 1,578 yards and 12 touchdowns…
