CINCINNATI, Ohio -- No overtime this time. The Cincinnati Bengals brushed aside their intrastate rival and strengthened their hold on the AFC North with one record-setting quarter. Essentially, it was over by halftime. And now the Bengals have a chance to make quick work of the rest of the division, too. Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes and Cincinnati returned a blocked punt and a fumble for touchdowns during a 31-point second quarter on Sunday that set a Bengals record and swept them to a 41-20 victory over the Cleveland Browns. The Bengals (7-4) fell behind 13-0 in the first quarter before putting it away with 15 minutes of domination all around. "That was crazy," defensive tackle Domata Peko said. "I havent seen anything like that -- so many points in a couple of minutes and the momentum changing so fast." Cincinnati heads into its bye week with its division lead intact and two rough weeks washed away. The Bengals had lost their last two games in overtime, tying the NFL record and allowing the Browns (4-6) to draw close. "Cleveland has done a lot of really good things, put themselves in position in the division that this was a really big game for both teams," Dalton said. The Browns had pegged it as a chance to show theyre a contender. Instead, they got their comeuppance -- the most lopsided game in the intrastate series since Cincinnatis 30-0 win in Cleveland in 2006. "Im disappointed we lost and in the way we lost, but weve got Pittsburgh coming in and the next two are at home," linebacker DQwell Jackson said. "That gives us a chance to get back on track. Im glad this ones over." Dalton had a horrid start that helped Cleveland get a promising early lead. He threw two passes that were picked off by Joe Haden, who ran one of them back 29 yards for a touchdown and a 13-0 lead in the first quarter. When the quarter ended, Cleveland fell apart. Dalton threw touchdown passes of 25 yards to Jermaine Gresham and 6 yards to Mohamed Sanu, emerging from his recent funk. He has thrown eight interceptions in his last three games, a major factor in the two overtime losses. The Bengals were just getting started on the highest-scoring quarter in their history. Undrafted rookie Jayson DiManche blocked Spencer Lannings punt and safety Tony Dye -- promoted from the practice squad one day earlier -- returned it 24 yards for a touchdown. Cleveland hadnt had a punt blocked in 20 years. "It was surreal," Dye said. "You never expect that to happen in a game, let alone your first game." More surreal to come. One minute and 50 seconds later, linebacker Vontaze Burfict forced Chris Ogbonnaya to fumble after a catch and ran the ball back 13 yards for another touchdown. Mike Nugents 41-yard field goal capped off the quarter and made it 31-13. It was one of those comebacks that the Bengals will look back on as a potential turning point. "I hope I am looking back from somewhere in New York City," coach Marvin Lewis said, referring to the site of the next Super Bowl. "I think that is the thing that our guys have in their mind, to win every game that we can. "This is an urgent month for us coming up. First, we had to take care of November. We have bigger fish to fry." The 31 points matched the second-most allowed by the Browns in one quarter. They hadnt done it since they gave up 31 in the second quarter at Houston on Dec. 9, 1990. The club record is 35 points allowed in the first quarter of a 35-7 loss at Green Bay in 1967. Dalton threw another touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, giving him three overall. He was 13 of 27 for only 93 yards. Jason Campbell threw a 74-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to Josh Gordon, but had an otherwise disappointing showing. Campbell hadnt thrown an interception in 90 attempts this season, but was picked off three times. He set a career high with 56 pass attempts and completed 27 for 248 yards. Haden had his first two-interception game while shutting down A.J. Green. Haden held the 2012 All-Pro receiver to two catches for 7 yards, ending his club-record streak of five straight games with at least 100 yards. Notes: Campbells 56 attempts were the third-most in franchise history behind Colt McCoy (61) and Brian Sipe (57). ... Ogbonnaya had a 43-yard run, his longest of the season. ... LB James Harrison had his first interception for the Bengals and his first since 2010 with Pittsburgh. It was his seventh career interception. ... DB Chris Crocker and RG Kevin Zeitler were inactive because of injuries. ... The Bengals have blocked three kicks this season, the first time theyve done that since 1991.

Williams was placed on injured reserve when the Bucs returned to practice after having the weekend off. The fourth-year pro who signed a six-year, $40.25 million contract in July, had 22 receptions for 216 yards and two touchdowns in six games. "Mike had a hamstring injury that he tried to play through, but just wasnt effective doing it," coach Greg Schiano said. "Hell get surgery now, and itll be repaired. Hell be fine, but itll be a little bit of a recovery." Losing Williams is yet another blow to the winless Bucs (0-7), whove struggled offensively in the wake of a messy split with quarterback Josh Freeman and injuries to running back Doug Martin and guard Carl Nicks, who are both out indefinitely. Williams injured his right hamstring against Arizona on Sept. 29. He was inactive against Philadelphia on Oct. 13, but played the past two weeks and had a combined seven catches for 52 yards and no TDs. A year ago, Williams teamed with Vincent Jackson to give Tampa Bay one of the top receiving tandems in the league. Jackson is off to another strong start with 41 receptions for 623 yards and four TDs. However, the sore hamstring hindered Williams ability to do what hes done best since entering the league as a fourth-round draft pick in 2010 -- make leaping catches over defenders downfield. While Jackson was putting together his fourth 1,000-yard season in 2012, Williams averaged a career-best 15.8 yards per reception on the way to finishing with 63 catches for 996 yards and nine TDs. "After getting all the information from the doctors, he was allowed to try (to play)," Schiano said. "He did for two weeks, but wassnt really himself.ddddddddddddHe couldnt do the things he needs to do to be effective, so its time to get surgery." Before sitting out this months game against the Eagles, Williams had not missed a game in his career. Hes started 52 of 54 games hes appeared in and has 215 receptions for 2,947 yards and 25 touchdowns. Williams going on IR leaves rookie quarterback Mike Glennon with just one established receiver, Jackson, whos had 100-yard games in two of the third-round draft picks four starts. Tiquan Underwood likely will move into the starting lineup, and Williams absence figures to create more playing time for Chris Owusu, Eric Page and Skye Dawson, a trio of young, unproven receivers. "This is a great opportunity. Im just going to try to run with it," Underwood, a fifth-year pro with 43 career catches, said. "Mikes been banged up for a better part of the year, so I dont think its going to be that much of a change," Schiano said. "Relative to what could have been, sure. Mikes a very fine player. But thats part of life in the NFL. The next man will get the opportunity, and well go with that." Tampa Bay is next to last in the NFL in total offence, averaging 297.7 yards per game. The leagues only other winless team, Jacksonville, is last. Schiano said he does plan to tweak some changes to try to help Glennon, whos thrown 181 passes -- more than any player in league history through the first four games of a career. "When youre 0-7 you look at every single thing, and Im sure were going to be stronger for it moving forward," the coach said. "I think weve put Mike is a bad spot. Hes thrown too many passes. ... We shouldnt put him in that spot as coaches," Schiano added. "Weve re-evaluated that and were going to try to play a little more balanced."
