A week that Cleveland Browns fans could hardly have imagined is upon us. With the fifth seed locked up in Week 17, the Browns can rest up comfortably for approximately 17 days before they play a game that matters. The team will need enough healthy backups in order to allow some of their starters to rest in Week 18
A week that Cincinnati Bengals fans could hardly have imagined is also upon us. A season without the playoffs while their division rival to the north is secure in their position in the postseason.
Week 18 is a meaningless game in many ways besides everyone leaving healthy but Cleveland does not seem to be likely to enter the game healthy.
