There is a plausible scenario where the Browns could take the division in Week 17 with a win and miss the playoffs completely with a loss.
Week 16
Dolphins beat Raiders (MIA 10-5)
Ravens beat Giants (BAL 10-5)
Colts beat Steelers (IND 11-4, PIT 11-4)
Browns beat Jets (CLE 11-4)
Packers beat Titans (TEN 10-5)
Week 17
Dolphins beat Bills (MIA 11-5)
Ravens beat Bengals (BAL 11-5)
Colts beat Jaguars (IND 12-4)
Titans beat Texans (TEN 11-5)
Browns beat Steelers
3 seed = Browns (12-4)
4 seed = Colts (12-4)
5 seed = Titans (11-5)
6 seed = Steelers (11-5)
7 seed = Dolphins (11-5)
out = Ravens (11-5)
Steelers beat Browns
3 seed = Colts (12-4)
4 seed = Steelers (12-4)
5 seed = Titans (11-5)
6 seed = Dolphins (11-5)
7 seed = Ravens (11-5)
out = Browns (11-5)

Lets hope the Raiders put an end to that on Sunday and play like they did against the Browns. I went to bed thinking the Browns were in a pretty good spot. If the Steelers beat the Colts next week they rest everyone important against the Browns, but if the Steelers lose they are on a 4 game losing streak and playing like shit with the AFC North on the line week 17. Need to find a way to get Harrison and Teller healthy for that Steelers game.

We don't even have to wait that long! They're the Saturday Night special this week on NFL Network. But I'll certainly be rooting on the silver and black!

How are the Browns out, but the Titans in if they both finish 11-5? (And the Titans don't win the South.obviously)

Its not, but I guess you first apply division tiebreakers then head to head, which I guess makes the Browns head to Head with other division teams not count.

Its a bad way to explain it (not you, the second tweet) but yeah, the Browns are first eliminated from the tie because baltimore has the division tiebreaker.

I’ve always been a closet Raiders fan because I liked the way Al Davis was always sticking it to the NFL. This is in spite of red right 88, which I have never gotten over. So it’s extra easy for me to pull for them tonight.

Go Raiders!
If they can’t get the job done, I’ll be reduced to rooting for the Steelers against the Colts tomorrow. As cool as winning the North would be, I just want to watch playoff football.

Looks like it’s Goodson who tested positive. He’s responsible for relaying calls on the field for the defense so this isn’t some minor loss.
