Browns, Ravens and an updated look at the AFC playoff picture

Despite a beatdown win against the San Francisco 49ers by the Baltimore Ravens, the Cleveland Browns still have a shot (a slim one albeit) at winning the AFC North and the top seed in the conference.

Picking up their tenth win of the season against the Houston Texans this week, however, the Browns have all but punched their ticket to the playoffs for the first time since 2020. With the New York Jets coming to town on Thursday night, clinching their spot in the postseason in front of their home crowd at Cleveland Browns Stadium would be the icing on the cake of an already wild season.

Sitting with the fifth seed, where the Browns will more than likely stick, there is still room for movement in the AFC playoff seeding as the NFL season comes to a close. Here is an updated look at the solidifying AFC playoff picture with just two weeks to go.
