100% Chance to Make the Playoffs: Browns on Verge of History
Two Possible Scenarios for Season Finale
The Cleveland Browns are on the cusp of making history, with ESPN Stats now giving them a 99.2% chance of earning a wild-card playoff spot this season. According to the New York Times model, the Browns have an 89% chance of making the playoffs, regardless of their outcome in Week 18.
Scenario 1: Win or Tie vs. Steelers
If the Browns can win or tie their Week 18 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, they will clinch a playoff berth regardless of other results around the league.
Scenario 2: Loss, and Help from Other Teams
Even if the Browns lose to the Steelers, they could still make the playoffs if the New York Jets lose to the Miami Dolphins and the Jacksonville Jaguars lose to the Tennessee Titans. This scenario would give the Browns the AFC North division title and an automatic playoff berth.
The Browns will wrap up the regular season with their Week 18 matchup against the Steelers on January 8, 2024. A win or tie would secure their playoff spot and mark a significant milestone in the team's recent history.
