Can the Browns of Cleveland Still Qualify for the Playoffs?

The Cleveland Browns of 2023 began the season with a lot of promise, much like many other seasons in Ohio. The team had the easiest schedule in the league, a new defensive coordinator gave the team a new lease on life, and the roster was loaded on both sides of the ball. A long list of injuries has taken their toll on the former Super Bowl contender more than two thirds of the way into the NFL season.

The Cleveland Browns are still the seventh-seeded team in the AFC with a 7-5 record. However, the team is without both starting tackles, its best two quarterbacks, and its standout running back. They also have injuries to their cornerback, defensive end, and top receiver, and none of these situations are likely to get better anytime soon.

To play in the postseason would be an accomplishment for a team that has started four different quarterbacks, but the Cleveland Browns are still right in the thick of things. With five games remaining, they trail the Baltimore Ravens by two games, making it unlikely that they will win the division. The AFC is confused, which is good news. Just two of the 11 teams with six wins or a.500 record have nine victories, Miami and Baltimore being the other two.

The team will probably need to win ten games in order to have a realistic chance of making the postseason. Eleven victories would all but guarantee them a trip. With nine, they could manage it, but they’d need assistance. In order to have a shot at the postseason, the Cleveland Browns must win three of their final five games.

One thing that’s become clear for the 2023 Cleveland Browns: They are much better at home than they are on the road. The Browns are 5-1 at home, winning by an average score of 19-10. They’re 2-4 on the road, losing by an average of 31-24. As good as the defense is, they’re often the catalyst for these wins and losses. At home, they’ve allowed only 24 points one time, while they’ve allowed at least 24 in every single road game this season.

For the Cleveland Browns of 2023, one thing has become evident: they perform significantly better at home than away. With an average score of 19-10, the Browns have a 5-1 record at home. On the road, they are 2-4 and lose by an average of 31–24 points. No matter how strong the defense is, they frequently cause these victories and defeats. They have only let up 24 points in one game at home this season, but they have given up at least 24 in every road game.

The Cleveland Browns of 2023 have realized one thing: they perform significantly better at home than they do away from home. The Browns have a 5-1 record when playing at home, winning 19-10 on average. Their road record is 2-4 and they lose by an average of 31–24. Regardless of how excellent the defense is, they frequently cause these victories and setbacks. They’ve only let up 24 points once when playing at home, but this season they’ve given up at least 24 in every away game.

Cincinnati hosts the team’s final game of the 2023 schedule. Before Jake Browning’s coming-out party on Monday night, the Cleveland Browns’ victory in that game appeared likely. Who knows where the Bengals will end up in a month?

To cut a long tale short: The Cleveland Browns have a chance to qualify for the postseason. even when Dorian Thompson-Robinson or Joe Flacco are in the lead. Will they, though?
