It's a Big Deal to win 6 games in the NFL. (Ask the Chiefs, they lost 4 AFC games in a row.) The Browns are 6-5
Today the Browns are in a position, where, without any help from other teams, they can still win all of their games and would be 12-5 and in front in their division by a half a game. And if a division winner would be guaranteed to host a playoff game.
Quick Question. If the Browns only win One of the Games against the Ravens, Which game is more important, the First game, or the later game after the Bye week???
Obviously, the First Game, is the more "significant" and prestige giving game of the two. For these reasons.
1. Winning the First game against Baltimore, means you beat them in their house, Your Franchise has the only opportunity to sweep the series, and They will have to play in front of your crowd in the 2nd game.
2. Winning the first game means you beat a team the week before your bye week, which shows progress, because many teams play not as well the week before their bye week because they may be looking ahead to the chance at rest.
3. The NFL only gives 6' AFC Road games on the schedule, which every year are important in getting playoff berths, and at this point,
The Browns only have 2 AFC Road games remaining on their schedule, at Baltimore, and at Pittsburgh.
4. Beating Baltimore in Baltimore establishes more dominance!!!! In conquering their stadium as the Browns' House!
And it keeps alive the self determination of winning the division, and it's the next game.
5. And it's a division game, and it's Baltimore, so it's always significant!
If they only win ONE game against the Ravens, they need to make sure it is THIS WEEK, the First one, the Fist game is the more significant matchup!
Remember, it is the only one that allows them the opportunity, to win Both!
