The Cleveland Browns continue to find their way to wins despite all odds stacked against them this season. Now being led by their fourth quarterback in veteran Joe Flacco, the Browns have found their way to 8-5 on the season and in the driver’s seat toward a wildcard spot after taking down the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Now sitting with an 81 percent chance to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season, Flacco and the Browns will look to continue their season of destiny this Sunday against the Chicago Bears. If Cleveland finds their way to their ninth win this week against the 5-8 Bears, those odds of locking down a playoff spot will shoot through the roof with just three games to go.
The Browns, however, must take care of business first on a week-by-week basis.
Ranking every team by their probability of making the playoffs this season using ESPN’s Football Power Index, where do the Browns fall among the other 31 teams in the league?
