The Cleveland Browns are set to finish ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers at the end of this season.
Even if the Steelers win their last two games and sneak into the playoffs, they’d only have 10 wins, while the Browns already have 11.
This will be the first time that the Browns will finish ahead of the Steelers in the standings since 1989.
It’s official: The Browns will finish with a better record than the Steelers for the first time since 1989.

The Steelers have always been better than the Browns but that changed this year, even though the Browns had a swath of injuries. Head coach Kevin Stefanski did a tremendous job despite the injuries and now has them ready to try and go on a playoff run.
All that’s left to be decided is who the Browns will play in the playoffs once those start in a couple of weeks.
Meanwhile, the Steelers need to win out and get a little bit of help if they want to make the playoffs.
