Cleveland Browns: 5 reasons winning streak stays alive vs Dolphins

Four reasons the Cleveland Browns can keep bump their winning streak to three games as the Miami Dolphins visit for a Week 12 date.

At 4-6, fans of the Cleveland Browns refuse to give up the dream of watching their beloved orange helmets in the playoffs, nor should they. Without hope, what is there? So dream away, Browns fans.

The schedule is certainly favorable, and despite a 2-6 start, it’s still in this cards for this team to finish the 2019 campaign with a winning record.

Now, note the words “playoff berth” were left out of that last sentence, because in truth, the Browns have a real up-hill climb.

Cleveland is four games behind the Ravens in the AFC North and Baltimore is showing no signs of slowing down. As crazy as it seems, the Browns could go undefeated in the division and still lose out to the Ratbirds at the top of standings.

But when you lose the opener, commit endless amounts of penalties, run draws on 4th and 9, run empty formations from the 1, you lose. The Browns have no one to blame but themselves for this.

And if you think the Wild Card is the way into the postseason, well, keep things in perspective at this point. The Browns would have to pass up four teams to get the invitation. Two of these teams are 6-4 (Colts (assuming Texans win division), Raiders), while two are 5-5 (Steelers, Titans).

The Browns need help, but they also must continue to win. Fortunately, the two-win Dolphins are on the docket. Despite winning two-games, Miami fields a roster that’s built to lose.

With that in mind, here’ four reasons Cleveland will stretch its winning streak to three games with a win in Week 12 against Miami.
