It's pretty unlikely they'll host a playoff game as Pitsburgh still has essentially a two game lead on them. Still I like the Browns to make the playoffs now that Cincy took out Tennessee yesterday. Browns probably won't finish any worse than 10-6 and that will be enough to put them ahead of Tennesee who were the only other real WC threat. Really it's looking like the AFC could be NE 16-0 or 15-1, Indy and Pittsburgh to be 13-3, Cleveland and Jacksonville to be 12-4 or 11-5, the Chargers to be either 9-7 or 10-6 and everyone else at .500 or worse.
I'm reminded of 1998 when a pretty mediocre Chiefs team and their backup Rich Gannon went into Denver and held a 31-28 lead late in the game against the undefeated Bronco's. Bronco's managed to win that one 35-31 similar to how the Pats won last night. Next week they went into Giants stadium and blew it against a Giants team who weren't having a very good year. Look for the Ravens to mount an unsuspected challenge on the Pats next week..because it is like deja vu.
