Battle of Ohio Divides Bars
The battle lines were drawn in bars as the Cleveland Browns faced off against the Cincinnati Bengals.
At The Barn on Linden Avenue, Bengals and Browns didn’t heckle each other, but they did stay separated.
"We haven’t been over there yet, but we will probably venture over there in a little bit… yea it’s divided," laughs John Roof, a Browns fan.
While many fans of both Cincinnati and Cleveland say they were raised to support Ohio teams, this game brings out the inner rivalry between north and south.
"See for a Bengals fan their second favorite team is Cleveland and for Browns fan their favorite team is whoever is playing Cincinnati," says Dick Eveland, a Bengals fan.
The Bengals beat the Browns 16-7.
