The Cleveland Browns have a favorable path to a top-five pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
The Browns finish the regular season against the Cincinnati Bengals, Miami Dolphins and Baltimore Ravens.
Week 16's clash with Cincinnati gained more importance for the Bengals in their wild-card hunt after the Los Angeles Chargers beat the Denver Broncos on Thursday night.
Miami is still alive in the wild-card race and Baltimore has plenty to play for in the AFC North and wild-card races.
The Browns appear set to go 0-3 in those games, which means they need some help from the other three-win teams to clear out the teams in front of them in the projected order.
