Browns Week 16 Playoff scenarios set

CLEVELAND, Ohio (92.3 The Fan) – This is not a drill.

The Cleveland Browns can clinch a playoff berth this weekend.


The NFL released the Week 16 playoff scenarios Tuesday morning and here’s what needs to happen for Cleveland to end the league’s longest playoff drought.

First, the Browns must beat the 1-13 New York Jets and then have one of the following happen:

- The Ravens lose to the New York Giants or tie Sunday afternoon

- The Dolphins lose to the Las Vegas Raiders or tie Saturday night

- The Colts lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers or tie Sunday afternoon

Or the Browns can tie the Jets and:

- The Ravens lose to the New York Giants

- The Dolphins lose to the Las Vegas Raiders

The Steelers loss to the Bengals Monday night reopened the door slightly for the Browns to still win the AFC North but the only way for that to happen is if the Browns beat the Jets and Steelers to end the season and Pittsburgh looses their final two games to the Colts and Browns.

Because Pittsburgh owns the divisional record tiebreaker over the Browns, Cleveland must finish 1 full game ahead in the standings to win the North.
