2. Cleveland Browns

Just when the Cleveland Browns were heating up at the perfect time to make a late push for a playoff spot in the AFC, the team came up short in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers to complete the season sweep on their rivals.

Technically, the Browns are still alive to earn a Wild Card spot, but since there are plenty of teams competing, and Cleveland now trails Pittsburgh by two full games for the No. 6 seed, it seems like a long shot at the moment to happen.

Of course, crazier things have taken place in the NFL over the final few weeks of the regular season, and if the Browns play their cards right along with receiving some help along the way, it would be amazing to see Cleveland earn a trip to the playoffs.

But since the Browns need to focus on one game at a time, Cleveland needs to make sure they avoid allowing the Cincinnati Bengals to earn a second win in a row.

One can only imagine how awful the New York Jets must have felt last Sunday after allowing the Bengals to finally earn their first win of 2019 after all this time, and since they now have an extra boost of confidence, the Browns better be cautious.
