The Cleveland Browns have dealt with adversity and injuries all year. Through it all they have remained calm, and are sitting at second in the AFC North at 8-5. The Browns schedule has had six matchups with teams over .500 currently. Some of those have turned into wins, and tied for the third-best record in the AFC.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The final four-game stretch will be as crucial as ever when looking at the Browns schedule. Two road tests and two home games make it feel like the norm. All four opponents are at least 5-8 with none being better than 7-5. Two of the teams are 5-8 home games, the other two being 7-6 games on the road.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n With all four being important, the Browns will want to secure two of them at minimum. If they can steal a road game and finish the season 11-6, they will secure at least a high wildcard spot. The current 5th seed has everything in front of them. However, this game may be the biggest.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n With two more favorable matchups coming at home, the most important game on the Browns’ schedule may come in week 16. The Browns travel to Houston to face the 7-6 Texans<\/a> on December 24th. Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud<\/a> suffered a concussion last game, and his status for the next two weeks is yet to be determined.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n HOW does CJ Stroud make this throw? @FreddieandHD<\/a> @ColemanESPN<\/a> @ESPNRadio<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/pgFS9ZFvYo<\/a><\/p>\n — Harry Douglas (@HDouglas83) December 5, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nChristmas Eve Matchup<\/b><\/h3>\n
