NFL Game Summary - Cincinnati at Cleveland

Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Brian Hoyer and the Cleveland Browns are on a roll.

The former third-string quarterback passed for 269 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday and the Browns beat the Cincinnati Bengals 17-6 for another win with Hoyer as the starter.

Hoyer went a combined 11-of-11 for 130 yards on two touchdown drives for the Browns (2-2), who are 2-0 since starter Brandon Weeden sprained his thumb and they traded running back Trent Richardson to the Colts.

Tight end Jordan Cameron had 10 catches for 91 yards and a touchdown -- his fifth of the season -- and Chris Ogbonnaya also scored on a catch. In-season pickup Willis McGahee rushed 15 times for 46 yards and Billy Cundiff kicked a 51-yard field goal in the win, though he also missed two other tries.

The Bengals (2-2) had a two-game winning streak snapped and lost to the Browns for only the third time in the last 10 meetings.

Andy Dalton was 23-of-42 for 206 yards and an interception and Mike Nugent made field goals of 43 and 25 yards.

Rob Chudzinski snapped a five-game losing streak by Browns rookie coaches in their first game against the Bengals.
