The Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals have had a long-standing football rivalry for many years, and things have only gotten worse in the 2020s. In a recent video posted on X by ML Football, this animosity was evident as a Browns fan could be seen repeatedly yelling "Hey Joe, the Browns own you" at Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.

In a frustrated tone, the quarterback told the guy to "get the f**k out of here." Prior to things getting worse, Burrow's security team stepped in. "The #Bengals QB Joe Burrow's security staff was extremely incensed by the #Browns supporter who was taunting him in the street. “The Browns own you. The Browns own you, Joe.” is what the fan kept repeating in the now-viral post.

The rivalry between the Bengals and Browns

Since 1995, neither club had ever won a playoff game before the 2020s. The Browns ended this deadlock in 2020 by defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card Round, and then, under the leadership of coach Kevin Stefanski, they went on to make the 2023 playoffs.

Then, by making the playoffs in 2021 and 2022, the Bengals broke their 31-year winless streak, defeating the Las Vegas Raiders in a Wild Card Round of the former.

Burrow's past versus the Browns

With Burrow as quarterback, the Bengals swept the Browns in 2024, with the quarterback throwing five touchdowns and no interceptions.

Despite having a 3-5-0 record versus the Browns, he has only managed to throw 15 touchdowns and five interceptions in those contests. Burrow will now have a record of.500 against the Browns for the current year.

The NFL is tapping into this well-established rivalry by giving fans of either team the chance to witness the Browns and Bengals square off at Huntington Bank Field in Week 1. The game is set to begin at 1 p.m. ET on September 7.

The Bengals will host their archrivals in week 18, which is when the two teams are also scheduled to finish the regular season.
