Browns Rest Key Players Ahead of Playoffs, Bengals Aim for Positive Finish

Jeff Driskel to Start as Browns' Fifth Quarterback This Season, a Franchise Record

Cleveland Browns are resting key players, including quarterback Joe Flacco, for their final regular season game against the Cincinnati Bengals, in preparation for the playoffs.
The Browns are the No. 5 seed and will open the playoffs next weekend against the AFC South champion, which could be Jacksonville or the Indianapolis-Houston winner.
Jeff Driskel, signed off Arizona’s practice squad last week, will start as the Browns' fifth quarterback this season, a franchise record.
The Bengals, with an 8-8 record, are not in playoff contention but aim to finish the season on a positive note.
Browns' defensive end Myles Garrett, a Pro Bowler for the fifth time, is likely to join Flacco on the sideline.
