There is an old Simpson’s clip that often surfaces when things are going well for someone. At the end, the character says “Everything’s coming up Milhouse.” You can see the full video below, it sums up the Cleveland Browns season so far:
The Browns season has been full of things that the team, and their passionate fanbase, was not happy about. Losses to really good teams. Inconsistent play all over the field. Baker Mayfield not taking the next step in his progression. Odell Beckham Jr. drama.
Most important, starting the season out with a 6-6 record was the biggest negative. Yet, much like Millhouse above, Cleveland has a chance to have everything come up their way.
Week 14 was a good start for the team. Going into the week, the Browns were the 12th seed in a parity-driven AFC. With their victory over the Baltimore Ravens and a few other games going their way (‘Everything’s coming up Browns’), Cleveland is now the eighth seed in the conference.
In Week 15, only two games going the Browns way could have them jump another four seeds in the conference. As we covered earlier, if Cleveland beats Las Vegas and Baltimore loses to Green Bay, the Browns will lead the AFC North. In as much, Cleveland will be the fourth seed in the AFC.
From 12th seed to fourth seed in two weeks, a meteoric rise. ‘Everything’s coming up Browns!’
