  • Before the Ravens game, I concluded they needed to win 6 of the final 9 to ensure playoffs, when looking at all the games for all the remaining playoff contenders. They had to beat either the Ravens or the Steelers for tiebreaker purposes, but preferably the Steelers since they’re less likely to win the division than the Ravens. The Browns have now beaten the Ravens, so that makes it a near lock. We still play the Steelers, Jaguars, Texans, and Bengals. We can afford to lose three or 4 all of them since the Bengals and Jaguars both lost. But again, beating the Steelers is priority #1. I would say that if they beat the Steelers, there’s no way they don’t get in.


  • There’s no possibility we’d be #1. The first tiebreaker between the Browns, Chiefs, Jaguars, and Dolphins would be conference record. KC would still be 5-1 in the conference, assuming Jax beat the Titans, they’d be 5-2, assuming the Dolphins beat the Raiders, they’d also be 5-2, and the Browns would be 5-2 in the conference. KC will still be #1, but between the other three teams, the next tiebreaker would come down to “strength of wins.” I don’t know how that’s calculated or whatever, so the Browns realistically could be either 2, 3, or 4 next week. That being said, if Jax and Mia also lose, we’ll be #2, at best.
