Breaking News:Cleveland Browns Nick Chubb just fired his agent

BEREA, Ohio — It’s playoff time for the Cleveland Browns and thirteen other NFL teams, as they will begin this weekend in the Wildcard round with 12 of the 14 teams playing. The Browns will travel to Houston to take on the AFC South champion Texans (10-7)

The Greetham Angle has been charting the path for the Browns to get to the playoffs since they were 4-3. We said that the magic number to make the playoffs has been 10 wins and that held true in the AFC this season as all seven teams that got to 10 wins made the playoffs

Ironically, the Browns hit the 10-win mark against the Texans, 36-22 on Christmas Eve, less than three weeks ago

Four of the seven teams in the NFL had 10 or more wins, but three made the playoffs with nine wins.

 By getting 11 wins, the Browns earned a chance to rest their front-line players in a meaningless game with the Bengals last Sunday. The Browns 11-6 record earned them the top wild-card spot or No. 5 seed, due to the fact that the division winners automatically receive the top four seeds and first-round home games.

The Ravens, who received the No. 1 seed and bye at 13-4, were the only team in the AFC that had a better record than the Browns did. The Browns have made the playoffs for the first time since 2020 and for only the second time since 2002.

The Browns finished with a dominant 8-1 record at Cleveland Browns Stadium, but will only be able to host a home game if teams that are seeded lower than them end up being in the final two (No. 6 Dolphins and No. 7 Steelers). The top four seeds are the division winners
