It was September 29, but that didn’t stop the firefighters at Cleveland Hopkins Airport from blasting the Browns team plane with water cannons upon landing after beating the Ravens 40-25 in what is looking like the AFC North title game. Possibly sensing that the division is wrapped up and a playoff home game is on the way, the firefighters gave the team plane the traditional blasting after a championship team plane lands back home.
Don’t look now, but the 2-2 Cleveland Browns are now at a 48% probability of making the playoffs. The Steelers and Bengals are a complete mess, the Ravens travel to Cleveland December 22 and a December schedule that favors the Browns to wrap up that division: @Steelers, Bengals, @Cardinals, Ravens, @Bengals. That’s five wins and the division and the firefighters know it. Wrapped up, folks. I would suggest getting your hotel reservations lined up for January. You can always cancel. I already have my AFC title game weekend reservation made.
Let’s get to the cannon blasting:
