What seemed impossible just a few years ago is finally a reality. The Cleveland Browns (11-5) make their first playoff entry since 2002 with a 24:22 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4), who were already the winners of the AFC North.
The Steelers, who among other things spare quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, prove to be a formidable opponent, especially in the second half. At 9:24, Pittsburgh scored two touchdowns in the last leg of the game, but in the end Cleveland can serve the remaining game time.
Nick Chubb gets a rushing touchdown for the Browns and contributes 108 yards on the ground. Quarterback Baker Mayfield throws a touchdown at Austin Hooper and makes 17 of his 27 passes for 196 yards. He adds that in the form of Rushes 44. Jarvis Landry scores a rushing touchdown.
For the Steelers replacement quarterback Mason Rudolph comes to 315 yards and two touchdowns and an interception. Chase Claypool got 101 yards and a touchdown, Diontae Johnson managed 96 yards but no point.
Since the two teams meet again in the wild card round, the Steelers will soon have the chance to take revenge.
Also Ravens and Titans in the playoffs
The Baltimore Ravens (11-5) fulfill the necessary duty with a 38: 3 dismantling of the Cincinnati Bengals (4-11-1). Lamar Jackson throws for 113 yards, scores three touchdowns, throws an interception. JK Dobbins manages 160 yards and two rushing touchdowns.
The Tennessee Titans (10-5), meanwhile, benefit from a 26:56 defeat by the Miami Dolphins (10-6) at the Buffalo Bills (13-3). Miami would have fixed the playoffs with a win at the already established AFC North Champion, so the team from Florida must hope that Jacksonville (1-14) will bring down the Indianapolis Colts (10-5).
The New York Giants (6-10) can hope. Should the Washington Football Team (6-9) not win against the Philadelphia Eagles (4-10-1) on Monday night, the Giants will stand thanks to a 23:19 success against their direct division rivals Dallas Cowboys (6- 10) in the wild card round.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (11-5) around star quarterback Tom Brady confirm their good form at 44:27 against the Atlanta Falcons (4-12). Wide receiver Mike Evans was injured at the end of the first quarter, but head coach Bruce Arians does not expect the 27-year-old to be seriously injured.
The New England Patriots (7-9) turn the game against the New York Jets (2-14) at 28:14, and the Detroit Lions (5-11) draw against the Minnesota Vikings (7-9) at 35:37 the short one. The season is over for this quartet.
