Despite many key contributors sidelined, the Cleveland Browns nearly took down the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, falling 22-17 in the Divisional Round. The 2020 season was a resounding success for the Browns, as they finished 11-5 and won their first playoff game in 26 years. Based on how quarterback Baker Mayfield played from Week 7 onward, Cleveland has a legitimate Super Bowl window over the next few seasons.
