The fact that the Cleveland Browns are the fifth seed in the AFC playoff picture, have one of the best records in all of the NFL and are being talked about as AFC Championship game contenders is beyond shocking given all the injuries. On the other hand, the Browns have been shocking the NFL all season.
It started with a huge win in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals, continued in Week 3 with a convincing win over the Tennessee Titans but the team solidified itself as contenders in Week 5 versus the San Francisco 49ers.
