The Cleveland Browns, while not mathematically eliminated, hold a very slim chance of making the playoffs after their 23-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals yesterday. According to ESPN’s Football Power Index, the Browns have less than a one percent chance of making the playoffs as they sit at 5-8 with four weeks to go.
The Browns open as 2.5-point favorites over the Baltimore Ravens, who will likely be without quarterback Lamar Jackson. Even with a win, however, and even with wins the rest of the way out, the Browns have dug themselves too deep of a hole to climb out of this season. Maybe next year.
