W, 19-16 vs. Bills

The Browns trail the Steelers by two games in the AFC Wild Card picture, and these two teams will end up squaring off against each other in Weeks 11 and 13.

Cleveland’s surprising win over the Bills vastly improves head coach Freddie Kitchens’ razor-thin playoff hopes, as well as NFL power rankings, but they’re not completely evaporated. The Browns will play the Dolphins between the two games against Pittsburgh, and there’s also the Bengals twice on Cleveland’s schedule.

Going 3-0 against Cincinnati and Miami, and splitting the games against Pittsburgh, would drastically shift the playoff picture for Kitchens and Co.
