Welcome to Week 17, as the Cleveland Browns have a chance to clinch their first playoff berth since 2020 when they take on the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football. Quarterback Joe Flacco will look to stay hot against the top-tier defense of the Jets, while the Browns will look to put the clamps on the young and dynamic wide receiver Garrett Wilson.
Sitting at 10-5 with two weeks to go, the Browns even have a pathway to the AFC North crown with a bit of help from the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers. Without looking ahead of the Jets, however, the Browns must take care of business and clinch their spot in the playoffs on Thursday night, then hope for the rest to fall into place.
With just over 24 hours until kickoff, here are five things to watch for when the Browns take on the Jets in search of a playoff berth in front of their home crowd.
