The Cleveland Browns have been through a lot this season.
Kevin Stefanski’s team has overcome adversity over and over, getting back on their feet after Nick Chubb’s injury, winning games without Deshaun Watson, and fighting hard to stay afloat in the playoff picture.
But now that Watson won’t be back on the field this season and that Myles Garrett is reportedly dealing with a shoulder injury, the rest of the picture is murky, at best.
With that in mind, Browns analyst Toni Grossi predicted that they’ll win three of the next six games.

However, even though that’s possible, not even winning three of six would guarantee the Browns a playoff spot at 10-7, as it would all depend on tiebreakers.
The Denver Broncos, Houston Texans, and Indianapolis Colts are all still in the mix to get a playoff berth, and there are just no guarantees for the Browns with their current QB situation.
Joe Flacco is expected to start on Sunday vs. the Los Angeles Rams because of Dorian Thompson-Robinson’s concussion, but we don’t even know whether Stefanski would turn back to his fifth-round rookie a week after that.
Following that game vs. the Rams, the Browns also have to face the Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears, Houston Texans, New York Jets, and Cincinnati Bengals.
Some of those teams could already be out of the playoff picture by then, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to be automatic wins for Kevin Stefanski’s team.
They’ll have to keep fighting and just hope for the best.
