Their 2020 Schedule
Last season, the month of December was tough for the Cleveland Browns. With five games on the schedule, the Browns finished 1-4 and lost any chance of making the playoffs. If they can fix their issues heading down the final stretch, the Browns will find themselves in a great position.
The AFC North had a down year except the remarkable run by the Baltimore Ravens. But in 2020, things should get back to normal. The Browns will face a new core in the Cincinnati Bengals. Ben Roethlisberger returns for the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the jury is still out on the Ravens.
Outside of their division is where the Browns will make strides. The NFC East should be a cakewalk with the Eagles as the main threat. The Browns will also face the Houston Texans, Oakland Raiders, and Indianapolis Colts all at home.
Their out of conference road games will consist of the Dallas Cowboys, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans, New York Giants, and Jets. To break it all down, the Browns will face only four teams in 2020 who made the playoffs last season. The games still must be played but on paper, they have a clear shot at redemption.
