Week 12 Cleveland Browns playoff update
By Greg Newland
Indianapolis Colts & Tennessee Titians
One of the biggest matchups in Week 12 will be the Colts and Titans. Both teams are currently 7-3, with the Colts holding the tiebreaker from winning the first meeting of the year. Indy has really hit their stride after beating the Packers in week 11.
Phillip Rivers continues to deliver the football and Darius Leonard continues to cement himself as the best linebacker in football. Keep in mind, the Browns would hold a tiebreaker over the Colts in the wild card with a head to head win.
The Tennessee Titans started off hot but then lost three of four games before beating the Ravens in overtime on Sunday. That win vs. the Ravens helped the Browns substantially as they were able to take over second place in the AFC North. The Titans can beat any team in the NFL, but they also struggle to show up at times. Cleveland will head to Tennessee in week 13, and it will be a crucial game for the team to win.
At this point, it would be helpful to the Browns for the Colts to run away with the division and the Titans to stumble a few more times. If the Colts beat the Titans this week and the Browns can beat them the following, the Titans would be on the outside looking in. What can’t happen for the Browns is for both the Colts and Titans to stay neck and neck with each other and steal a wild card spot.
