The Browns have aspirations of two playoff seasons in a row. Each game means something, like the difference from competing in the post-season to sitting home watching the playoffs on the big screen.
The Browns went into this game sitting at 6-6-0 coming out of their the bye week. The season began with an illustrious 3-1-0 record, but since have compiled a 3-5-0 result with a 1-2 record division record. A win today was imperative if the team has any aspirations of getting one of the lower AFC seeds.
After getting beat by these same Ravens two weeks 16-10 in a game in which the defense provided four picks yet the offensive counterpart netted zero points off the turnovers, every game that remains on the schedule is basically a “must” win.
