Browns running back Jamal Lewis loves to face the Cincinnati Bengals and he will get to do so again today.
Kirkendall at CincyJungle researched how badly Lewis has torched the Bengals over the years, first with the Ravens and now with the Browns.Lewis, in his career, has played in 13 games against the Bengals, nine of which are 100-yard-or-more performances (Bengals are 2-7 when Lewis rushes for 100 yards or more), sporting a career 5.46 yards-per-carry average.
That’s amazing to have a 5.46 yards-per-carry average against a team you’ve faced 13 times over eight years. It’s also amazing that in three of his last eight meetings with the Bengals, Lewis has rushed for over 180 yards. One of which was a 216 yard effort just last season.
Lewis has totaled 1,551 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns.
That’s great news for the Browns, who will put Lewis up against Cincy’s 28th-ranked run defense.
