Despite a multitude of injuries that could have tanked the season for the Cleveland Browns, they still find themselves firmly in the running for a playoff spot after their Week 14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. With four games to go, quarterback Joe Flacco and the Browns look to continue to add to their 8-5 record on the season as their improbable run treks on.
With the Chicago Bears up next, the Browns have an opportunity to take home their ninth win on the season as they get a second game in a row in front of the Cleveland faithful. Can Flacco stay hot as the Browns’ passing attack is finally heating up for the first time since Deshaun Watson went down with a season-ending injury?
Where do the Browns currently sit in the AFC playoff picture as they look to lock down a wildcard spot? They currently hold an 81 percent chance to make the playoffs but could see that number continue to grow. Here is how the playoffs would play out if the season ended today.
