Despite Falling to 0-10, the Cleveland Browns Can Still Make the Playoffs If These 46 Things Happen

The Cleveland Browns lost again this weekend, falling to an NFL-worst 0-10 on the season.

Seeing as how every other team in the AFC has at least three wins, you might assume that the Browns have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. But that is not the case. While nobody is quite as bad as the Browns, there’s of a lot of mediocrity in the AFC. Like, a lot a lot.

The most wins the Browns could get is six. Right now only three teams (the Patriots, Steelers, and Jaguars) have more than six wins, while two others (the Chiefs and Titans) have exactly six. Theoretically, if the Browns win all six of their remaining games, and none of the teams that currently have fewer than six wins win another game, the Browns could make the playoffs.

Obviously, this is incredibly unlikely. In fact, the odds are astronomical. The folks at For the Win crunched some numbers and figured out that 46 different things have to happen during the final six weeks of the season for the Browns to make the playoffs.
