Flacco's Browns on Verge of Playoff Berth as They Face Jets

Veteran QB's impressive performance puts Cleveland in strong position, while Jets face uphill battle with injury-hit roster.

Joe Flacco has led the Browns to an improbable playoff bid, with a chance to clinch a spot in the playoffs with a win against his old team, the Jets.
The Browns are consensus 7.5-point favorites against the Jets, with 73 percent of the bets and 67 percent of the money backing them.
Flacco, the fourth quarterback to start for the Browns this season, leads the NFL with 1,307 yards and 10 touchdowns since taking over in Week 13.
The Jets' fourth starting quarterback of the year, Trevor Siemian, faces a tough test against the Browns' top-ranked defense.
The Jets will be without offensive tackle Duane Brown and tight end Jeremy Ruckert, while the Browns have lost multiple quarterbacks to season-ending injuries.
