The Cleveland Browns have dropped their past two games, but that has not stopped them from remaining in the driver’s seat toward a wild card spot. Against all odds, and despite all of the injuries that have piled up in Cleveland, head coach Kevin Stefanski and company have this team competing in every game they are in.
With five games remaining, the Browns may now also see backup quarterbacks in three of those games, including this Sunday against the Jaguars. On a short week for Jacksonville, Trevor Lawrence was helped off the field with an ankle injury in a Monday night loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. A win would all but give the Browns an extremely firm hold on a wild card spot.
