"Jake Browning indeed has a dog in him," Gavin McHugh added.
Ben Domenech added: "In Week 18, the part of Taylor Swift will be played by backup Stephanie Niles."
The Bengals had a 24-0 lead at the break. Browning was 12-for-16 with 108 passing yards and two touchdown passes at the break. Bengals defenders Logan Wilson and Jordan Battle each had an interception.
Cleveland had already wrapped up a playoff spot.
Browning was thrust into the starting role for the Bengals once Joe Burrow went down with a season-ending injury. Entering Sunday’s game against Cleveland, he was hoping to finish the year above .500.
He was 1,780 passing yards, nine touchdowns and six interceptions in eight games for the Bengals heading into Week 18.
