Bengals Edge Browns 17-16 in Low-Yardage Season Opener
The Cincinnati Bengals narrowly defeated the Cleveland Browns 17-16 in the 2025 NFL season opener, marking their first season-opening win since 2021. Despite being outgained in total yardage (327-141) and first downs (22-11), the Bengals capitalized on two critical turnovers, including a late interception by D.J. Turner that sealed the victory. The Browns struggled with missed kicking opportunities, including a missed extra point and a late 36-yard field goal attempt by Andre Szmyt, which ultimately cost them the game. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed 14 of 23 passes for 113 yards and one touchdown, while running back Chase Brown contributed 43 rushing yards and a touchdown. Cleveland's Joe Flacco threw for 290 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions, but the Browns' offense could not overcome the Bengals' timely defensive plays. The Bengals will host the Jacksonville Jaguars next, while the Browns face the Baltimore Ravens on the road.
