The Browns are scheduled to play at 1:00 pm ET on Sunday at the New York Jets.
Cleveland is 10-4 this season and hoping to clinch a playoff berth in a tough and competitive AFC. A win over the Jets and a loss by the Colts, Dolphins or Ravens would allow Cleveland to make the postseason. But first they will do their best to ensure their franchise avoids any spread of COVID-19.
