The Cleveland Browns (0-1-1) have earned just one victory in their previous 35 games or 1-34 going into their Thursday Night Football matchup against the New York Jets (1-1) to kick off Week 3. The Browns could've won their first two games vs Steelers and Saints but didnt because of crucial missed FG's.

 

But the Browns will be betting favorites for just the second time during that stretch, losing 31-28 to the Indianapolis Colts as one-point road chalk nearly a year ago. This time around, Cleveland is sitting as a three-point home favorite versus New York.

 

From opening game of 2015 NFL season to the latest loss to New Orleans the Browns are 4-45-1 in their last 50 games.

 

The Browns have not won their division since 1990 nearly 30 years

 

From 1990 through 2017 over a period of 28 seasons incredibly 17 of those they had 5 wins or less.

 

Over the past 25 years since 1994 the Browns have made the postseason only twice.

 

Since 1999 they have had over 30 different starting QB's and 10 head coaches.

Buffalo are still dealing with futility despite that little blip of lucky charms last seasons.

 

From 2000 through 2017 The Bills made the postseason only one time which was last year breaking a playoff drought that lasted 17 years.

 

Over the past 18 years the Bills have 3 winning seasons 2004, 2014 and 2017 and there was a 10 year period of losing seasons 2004 thru 2014.

The Bills have not won a playoff game since 1995 over 23 years ago.

Ironically over the past 18 years the Bills despite lots of losing seasons they only had less than 6 wins three times. They had 6 wins five times,7 wins four times and 8 wins three times. So 12 of their last 18 seasons they had between 6 and 8 wins yearly. So they were hardly ever real bad just mediocre.

Grew up watching the Bills since I saw them on TV before the Cards and I think 99 was the last time I truly cared about them. 

 

'99????? Ironically it was 1999 the Tennessee Titans first season when all of the sudden the AFC Playoffs started and the Titans were to clash with the Buffalo Bills for the right to advance to the divisional round.....

 

Well we all know what happened next...........

 

Do the Titans have a miracle left in them in what has been a magical season to this point. If they do, they need it now. Christie kicks it high and short. Gonna be fielded by Lorenzo Neal at the twenty-five, pitches it back to Wycheck- he throws it across the field to Dyson (he's got something) thirty (he's got something!) forty, FIFTY (he's got it) FORTY, THIRTY (HE'S GOT IT!) TWENTY, TEN (HE'S GOT IT!), FIVE, ENDZONE!!!

 

    TOUCHDOWN TITANS! THERE ARE NO FLAGS ON THE FIELD......

 

    IT'S A MIRACLE! TENNESSEE HAS PULLED A MIRACLE! A MIRACLE FOR THE TITANS!

 

   The Titans ended up in the Super Bowl in what was almost an overtime game but time ran out.

 

   As far as Buffalo goes after this happened they would wait 18 long years for another playoff game
