At this point in the season, these two teams could be fighting for the seventh and final spot in the AFC Playoff seeding. On paper, the Browns have the better roster, but their offense under Baker Mayfield appears to be a ticking time bomb if things don’t go right quickly in 2020.

For two consecutive seasons, the Browns have gotten the last laugh at the expense of the Jets. In last season’s 23-3 primetime loss, the Jets were forced to play Luke Falk after Trevor Siemian’s leg snapped in half. New York lost handily, but Gregg Williams had Baker Mayfield confused the entire game. In 2018, Mayfield made his NFL debut by leading the Browns to their first win in nearly two years, a 21-17 come-from-behind victory.

The Jets have a bitter taste left in their mouth and don’t want to lose their third game in a row to Cleveland. On the surface, this game bodes similarly to Week 16 of the 2019 season, when the Jets spoiled the Pittsburgh Steelers’ playoff hopes.
