There must have been something about June 19th. Something about the day which gave Cleveland Browns linebacker Christian Kirksey a renewed sense of vigor upon awaking. Such an uplifting mood that he took to his verified Twitter account and predicted some big things for the Browns in 2018.
Not just one victory, something they failed to accomplish last season.
Not just a few wins.
Not a winning season.
How about a playoff berth.
Most will laugh off Kirksey’s prediction, but I decided to think about whether this was possible. No, not if an 0-16 team can turn their entire organization around into a playoff team the following year, but have the Browns done enough to increase their odds of not just competing in the AFC North, but in the AFC Playoff Picture?
