4 HRS AGO - DTR vs Joe Flacco will not be the big discussion this week The Cleveland Browns return home from a forgettable two-week trip to the West Coast to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars. The game has important implications for both teams in the AFC playoff race, as the Browns (7-5) are currently holding one of the Wild Card spots, while the Jaguars (8-4) are still holding onto to first place in the AFC South but are feeling a bit of pressure from the Indianapolis Colts (7-5) and the Houston Texans (7-5). The Browns resumed practice for the game on Wednesday, which means it is time to take a look at the first injury report of the week, which in the case of the Browns includes some of the standard rest days for key players.

17 HRS AGO - Photo by Michael Owens/Getty Images A look at the best possible outcomes in Week 14 as the Cleveland Browns may be riding the Joe Flacco hype train to stay in the AFC playoff race. The Cleveland Browns spent a forgettable two weeks on the West Coast as they bumbled their way to two consecutive losses. A week after turning the ball over three times and losing quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson to a concussion in a loss to the Denver Broncos, the Browns turned to Joe Flacco and his “big arm” against the Los Angeles Rams. Flacco played well enough up to the point where he threw a fourth-quarter interception and the game went downhill from there. rolled out the red carpet for Rome's easy score#CLEvsLAR on FOX & NFL+ pic.twitter.com/aN9xhZAnts— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) December 3, 2023 The Browns (7-5) are back home this Sunday to face the Jacksonville Jaguars (8-4).

1 DAY AGO - A multitude of quarterbacks have found Cleveland home for a short time Otto Graham and Bernie Kosar. Both are considered the Cleveland Browns’ all-time great quarterbacks. Graham was a three-time NFL Champion, went to five Pro Bowls, was named to the NFL 75th Anniversary Team, had his number 14 retired by the franchise, is listed in the Browns Legends Program, enshrined in the Browns Ring of Honor, has won a total of seven pro football championships, and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1965. Plus, there is a statue of Graham outside the Browns’ stadium. Kosar is a Super Bowl Champion (Dallas Cowboys) and earned himself a Pro Bowl. He actually chose the Browns as the team he wanted to play for instead of the other way around due to circumstances with the 1985 NFL Supplemental Draft. He is listed in the Browns Legends Program. Both of these men provided the Browns with one crucial component: dependability at the QB position. There have been other good Collapse

1 DAY AGO - Photo by Michael Owens/Getty Images The loss of Nick Chubb and Kevin Stefanski’s play calling are not the only issues The Cleveland Browns are 7-5 but some fans believe they would be 9-3 or 10-2 if HC Kevin Stefanski had just run the football more often. The Browns are tied for the most attempts in the NFL at 390 while still being in the top 10 in passing attempts (8th overall with 435). A big reason Cleveland’s offense can be high in both categories is the lack of explosive plays but Stefanski’s ability to cobble together long drives out of short plays. It is somewhat surprising that they are top 10 in both attempts while also being tied for the most turnovers in the league. There are a lot of reasons, both real and pontificated, why the Browns haven’t been successful running the football (just 135.1 yards per game) despite leading the league in carries. Losing RB Nick Chubb and OL Jack Conklin early in the year top the list but inconsistent play at the quarterback position Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Photo by Mike Carlson/Getty Images The over/under drops to 34 for the game. The Cleveland Browns were originally set to open as early 3-point home underdogs against the Jacksonville Jaguars ahead of their Week 14 match-up, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. We waited to post the article until after the Jaguars' Monday Night Football game, though, and sure enough, QB Trevor Lawrence suffered an ankle injury that has shifted the line significantly. Cleveland is now favored by 1.5 points, and the over/under on the game is currently 34. The Browns (7-5) are coming off of a two straight road losses, with the latest one being a 36-19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams that was a lot closer than the final score would indicate. QB Joe Flacco was pushing the ball downfield and appeared to tie the game with nine minutes to go, but K Dustin Hopkins missed the extra point, and everything seemed to spiral out of control from there. The Jaguars (8-4) are coming off of a 34-31 overtime loss to Collapse

2 DAYS AGO - Cleveland’s string of losses needs to end right now but playoff hopes stay strong The Cleveland Browns were having a good season and had jumped up to the Number 5 seed. But two losses in a row have pushed them down one slot. And they are fortunate that other teams that affect their standing have had a loss or two recently. The continuance of losing games will only force Cleveland from the playoff bracket into the “outside” window. When you get dumped into that bracket it usually means righting the ship isn’t going to happen and cleaning out lockers is more likely. For now, the Browns remain seeded despite a two-game skid. Will the Browns make the playoffs in 2023? Let’s examine what the other teams are doing, and who has the best chances of making the post-season. AFC North Division #2. seed Baltimore Ravens 9-3-0 The Ravens’ hold on the AFC’s top seed didn’t last long but they still lead the division as both the Steelers and Browns lost.
