The Cleveland Browns are going to the playoffs for just the second time since the 2002 season.
Cleveland clinched its spot in the postseason with a 37-20 victory over the New York Jets in Thursday's matchup. It is a testament to the overall depth on the team that various injuries, including at the quarterback spot, didn't prevent it from reaching the playoffs.
Unfortunately for the 11-5 Browns, they are in the same AFC North as the team with the best record in the NFL.
Their reward for an excellent season will likely be the No. 5 seed in the AFC and a road playoff game since the Baltimore Ravens are 12-3 and coming off arguably the most impressive win of the entire season when they went on the road to defeat the San Francisco 49ers.
