Storylines to Watch
- Potential for Browns to clinch playoff berth — The Browns have a chance to clinch a playoff berth with a win on Thursday over the Jets. It would be the first time the Browns have clinched a playoff spot since 2020. In 2020, the Browns were 11-5 and finished third in the AFC North. They beat the Steelers in Pittsburgh on Wild Card Weekend. Then, in the divisional round, they lost to the Chiefs. This season, the Browns sit at 10-5 with another chance to secure a spot in the playoffs.
- QB Joe Flacco to face his former team in the Jets — Before Joe Flacco signed with the Browns this season, his last stop in the NFL was with the Jets. Last season, he lead the Jets to a 31-30 comeback win over the Browns at Cleveland Browns Stadium. On Thursday, he'll be on the other sideline as he looks to lead the Browns to a win and playoff berth.
- How the Browns pass game matches up against Jets pass defense — The Browns and Flacco have excelled in the passing game over the last three games, as Flacco has thrown for over 300 yards in three consecutive games. Yet, the Jets pass defense has allowed the 2,785 passing yards this season, which is second in the league. They allow an average of six yards per attempt, which is third in the league, and have given up 16 passing touchdowns this season, which is second in the league.
