The Cleveland Browns have an outside shot at the playoffs. They helped themselves by defeating the lowly Miami Dolphins 41-24 in a contest they led at one-time 28-0. Every aspect of the game was dominated by the Browns.
So, can the Browns now at 5-6-0 still make the playoffs? Can they run the table and finish 10-6-0? Keep in mind, only one team has ever began the season 2-6-0 and subsequently made the post-season – the 1970 Cincinnati Bengals. With the defeat, the Dolphins are now 2-9-0.
Prior to this game, Dolphins’ quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was 4-1 against the Browns with several clubs he played for and 3-0 at Cleveland.
