After defeating the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football, the Cleveland Browns are headed to the playoffs. Quarterback Joe Flacco continues his hot streak, rookie safety Ronnie Hickman Jr. continues to be a revelation off the bench, and the Browns have now won four games in a row.
Head coach Kevin Stefanski, who entered the week with the best odds to win NFL Coach of the Year, may have just solidified himself at the top of the running for the award he has already won once before. Still holding firmly onto the fifth seed in the AFC, the Browns still have a shot to win the AFC North with some help from the Miami Dolphins this weekend.
The Browns now have 10 days until they close their regular season against the Cincinnati Bengals.
In a playoff-clinching 4 Downs, here are the biggest takeaways from this 20-37 win over the Jets to advance to 11-5 on the season.
You deserve this, Cleveland.
