NFL Power Rankings: This is not a drill, Browns are going to playoffs (unless they screw it up)

The Cleveland Browns are 8-3 heading into December and it hasn’t been a big story this NFL season. Maybe it’s the constant headlines about COVID-19.

The Browns won four games total between 2015-17. They haven’t won eight games in a season since 2007. The last time Cleveland was in the playoffs was 2002. That’s still the only playoff appearance since the franchise restarted in 1999. They blew a big lead to the Pittsburgh Steelers and lost in their only playoff game that season.

In a normal season, the resurrection of the Browns would be a big deal.
