The Cleveland Browns will head to Cincinnati to face the Bengals on Sunday sporting a 4-2 record, their best mark after six games since the 2001 season.
While that record only has the Browns in third place in the AFC North thanks to being in the same division as the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore Ravens, it is good enough to give the Browns a firm grip on the sixth playoff seed in the AFC.
That might be hard for some to comprehend given the noise that has surrounded the Browns since losing to the Steelers this past Sunday, a defeat that was not all that surprising since losing in Pittsburgh is kind of what the Browns do.
