53. . 9-3. Previous: . Cleveland Browns. 6. team
The Browns could clinch their first winning season since 2007 and make a statement of sorts if they knocked off the Titans at Nashville. Much-maligned quarterback Baker Mayfield hit on 20-of-25 passes for 290 yards and four scores in the first half as his club owned a stunning 38-7 lead at intermission. Kevin Stefanski’s club managed only a field goal after intermission and gave up four second-half touchdowns but Cleveland held on for an impressive win.
Buffalo Bills. 5. team. 16. . 8-3. Previous:
Last season, only the New England Patriots allowed fewer points than Sean McDermott’s club. This season, the Buffalo defense has been a shell of its 2019 self and it’s been up to improving quarterback Josh Allen and the offense to up its game and for the most part both parties have responded. The third-year pro has hit on 68.8 percent of his throws, totaled 22 scores through the air and six on the ground. But there’s also been 13 turnovers.
49. . 9-3. Previous: . Green Bay Packers. 4. team
Matt LaFleur’s club hosted the Eagles for the second consecutive year as the Packers looked to avenge a home loss to Philadelphia a season ago. It was another productive outing for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who threw for 295 yards and three touchdowns – including a pair to wideout Davante Adams. And LaFleur’s squad played turnover-free football once again while the Green Bay pass rush totaled seven sacks of Carson Wentz and Jalen Hurts.
