The Cleveland Browns 2022 schedule is, mostly, set with a slate of games against some tough opponents and others against teams who have lower expectations nationally.
Like all teams in the NFL, the Browns best route to the playoffs is through their division. With only one bye given out, to the top overall seed, in each conference, and strong variability with the AFC, focusing on the AFC North is prudent for Cleveland.
For many years, the AFC North has been run by the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers with the Cincinnati Bengals having a good year every once and while. In 2021, the Bengals not only won the division but made it to the Super Bowl before falling to the Los Angeles Rams.
