The Cleveland Browns are desperate for a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. These three under-the-radar guys could be crucial in the week 14 matchup.

The Cleveland Browns head into their Week 14 matchup with that Baltimore Ravens needing a win in the worst way. Most fans have a bad taste in their mouth as the offense has been horrible the last three weeks after exploding vs. the Cincinnati Bengals.

Although the morale seems low, all the organization’s goals are still achievable. The Pittsburgh Steelers beating the Ravens last week and losing to the Vikings on Thursday night has all but taken their playoff chances away.

The Browns have already beaten the Bengals and would hold a tiebreaker, and they also lost to the Chargers last week. Let’s not forget, they host a hot San Francisco team this week who is more than capable of beating them, especially if Joe Burrow’s hand isn’t 100 percent healthy.

Baltimore leads the division, but a win on Sunday puts the Browns right behind them in first place with both teams being 2-2 in the division. Cleveland may need a little help, but if they end the season with wins vs. the Bengals and Steelers (which shouldn’t be an issue), an AFC North championship is still more than possible.

The AFC is interesting as no team has less than four losses now. That just means the Cleveland Browns will need to buckle down and play their best football of the season over the next few weeks.

These three players may not be household names yet but could play a crucial part in the Browns having a chance of beating the Ravens on Sunday.
