Browns vs. Texans: How to watch as Cleveland looks to lock down playoff spot

While the Cleveland Browns cannot clinch a playoff spot this weekend after the Buffalo Bills pulled out a come-from-behind win over the Los Angeles Chargers, they can maintain a strong hold on the fifth seed in the AFC with a win over the Houston Texans in this Week 16 showdown. In a battle of the backups, Joe Flacco will look to get the best of Case Keenum in this one.

If they come away with a win on the road, the Browns can return home and clinch a playoff berth in front of the crowd at Cleveland Browns Stadium on Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets. However, let’s not count our eggs before they hatch, as the Browns still need to take care of business against Case Keenum and the Texans.

Can the Browns pull out their third win in a row as Joe Flacco looks to continue to spark this offense through the air? Here is all the information needed to watch, listen, bet, and more about today’s game as the Browns look for win no. 10 in Houston.
