Who would’ve thought the Browns would be in this position after Deshaun Watson was shut down for the year?
After riding Joe Flacco to an 11-5 record and a spot in the playoffs, Cleveland has put itself in position to rest some guys for the final game of the season.
Per The Athletic’s Zac Jackson: Jeff Driskel will be the starting QB for the Brownies regular season finale vs. the Bengals, but the team will still have a fair amount of starters play.

“A lot of guys have to be ready to play, you can’t rest everybody,” said head coach Kevin Stefanski, telling reporters “You can use your best guess” on who will sit in Sunday’s game.
The Browns have won each of their last four games behind the play of Flacco and a strong defense.
As it stands, Cleveland has clinched the top Wild Card spot in AFC playoff picture ahead of the Bills, Colts, Texans and Steelers. Now, they’re just waiting to see who they will play in the first round of the postseason.
