The Bengals entered this weekend as the AFC’s No. 3 seed, and it may stay that way. However, it’s still possible that they could move up or down the pecking order. Cincy is part of a fine balancing act with the Chiefs, Titans, Bills and Patriots, but KC’s victory on Thursday night puts an end to any slim hopes of stealing top billing.
But the way Joe Burrow and Offensive Rookie of the Year in-waiting Ja’Marr Chase are playing, the small print might not matter. The Bengals are peaking at the right time, and look set to send the Browns into their extended break on the back of a hiding.
Mayfield is out of action, and it may well be that he’s already played his final game for the Browns. Follow our guide on how to watch the Bengals vs Browns live stream online and get a week 18 NFL live stream wherever you are in the world.

Watch a Bengals vs Browns live stream from outside your country
If you’ve mismatched a holiday or you’re away on business and you want to watch your country’s coverage from abroad, then you’ll need to use a VPN. This will help you dial in to a location back in your home country to avoid geo-blocks and regain access to the content and services you already pay for back home.
A VPN is generally perfect for this as it allows you to change your IP address so you appear to be in a completely different location when the big game is on.
