4 Downs: Browns now need miracle to make playoffs after ugly loss to Bengals

The Browns will need a miracle from here on out after a sloppy loss to the Bengals.

The Cleveland Browns have now dropped to 5-8 on the season after losing a sloppy game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Penalized nine times on the day for 98 total yards, the Browns far too often gave the Bengals extra possessions and shot themselves in the foot.

They have now called to 2-2 in the AFC North and will need a miracle to pull off an appearance in the playoffs this season. With four games to go, the best the Browns can now do is get to nine wins on the season and hope for the best.

Other than dashed playoff hopes, what stood out in this loss to the Bengals?
