3 reasons the Buffalo Bills will end the Cleveland Browns playoff hopes

The Cleveland Browns are looking at the end of their playoff hopes come Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.

The Cleveland Browns have a tough task come Sunday as they take on the Buffalo Bills with their season on the line. At just 3-6, the Browns can’t afford to lose another game. Trying to win out over their last seven games to make it to 10 wins is just unrealistic.

The Browns have a task ahead of them to keep that possibility alive. The Bills are one of the league’s best teams and even though they’ve lost the last two games, they’ve lost to two of the better teams in the league, and all-world Josh Allen has been dealing with a UCL injury.

If Allen is healthy and the Browns continue their performances from throughout the year on Sunday in Detroit, then the Browns are likely going to say goodbye to their chances at the playoffs.

Three reasons the Cleveland Browns will fall to the Buffalo Bills

Josh Allen is Josh Allen

Whether he’s hurt or not, Josh Allen remains one of the best quarterbacks in the league. If his UCL is healthy, he’s going to be a duel threat the Browns can’t really account for. While the Bills’ standard run game is nothing to worry about, Allen’s ability to scramble is. The Browns aren’t known for being good with scrambling quarterbacks, so it’s very likely Allen does a lot of damage to the team on Sunday.

The Cleveland Browns’ defense can’t stop a runny nose

Even if Allen can’t break the backs of the defense, the Bills’ very pedestrian running game can see huge gains against this Browns’ defense. They’re among the worst in the league at stopping the run, ranked 6th in most yards given up per carry.

Kevin Stefanski can’t make adjustments as the game goes on

Even if the Browns had a good defense that could handle Allen and the running backs, the odds that Kevin Stefanski could take advantage of that is unlikely. He’s not great at making adjustments on the fly. It’s why the opposing teams always look so bad against the Browns on their first opening drive but why the offense falls apart as the game goes on. Teams adjust to him and he doesn’t know how to respond. That has doomed the Browns more times than not.
