The Cleveland Browns have hit 10 wins in a season for the first time since 2007 and these are the three best and worst things from that 10th win.
The Cleveland Browns have won 10 games for the first time in 13 years after they defeated the Giants on Sunday Night Football. The last time came in 2007 when the Browns won 10 games, finishing the season by going three of four to close out just the team’s second winning season since 1999. The Browns would come close to a winning record in 2014 when the team seemed poised to have a winning season entering Week 13 with a record of 7-4. Unfortunately, the Browns lost their next five games that year.
That’s not the case this year, however, as the Browns secured a winning record two weeks ago and are now a double-digit winner. Something they didn’t do in 2002, the last year they went to the playoffs.
Now that the Browns have secured the winning record, they’re all but guaranteed a spot in the playoffs, unless some really bonkers things happen in the meantime. The Browns still have a shot at winning the AFC North title as well, though the Steelers would need to lose their next three games (including their finale against Cleveland) in order for the Browns to take the crown. Right now the 5th seed is the likeliest for the Browns, but they could go as high as two depending on how the Steelers perform over their next three games.
With that, let’s look at the best and worst from the Browns’ win against the Giants.
