Arkansas Bengal Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Browns-Bengals milestone & a look at the AFC playoff picture Joe Reedy FOX Sports Ohio NOV 24, 2014 3:21p ET John Bazemore / AP Billy Cundiff nailed his second game-winner of the year in a 26-24 win at Atlanta. As Billy Cundiff's 37-yard field goal sailed through the uprights at the Georgia Dome, we reached an important milestone when it comes to the Browns and Bengals. Sunday marked the 20th time since 1999 that both teams won on the same day. With the Bengals defeating the Texans 22-13 and the Browns 26-24 comeback over the Falcons, it marked the fourth time this season that both teams have won on the same Sunday, which is the most since 1989. Pretty heady stuff when you consider that since the Browns return in 1999, there have been six seasons with neither won on the same day. It also happened only once last year. This year will mark the seventh time since the 1970 merger that both teams have won four or more times on the same day. The record is six, which happened in 1986, and there have been four instances when it happened five times (1973, '76, '80 and '88). Overall it has happened 86 times. Even with the latest surge, nothing might quite approach 1980-89, when it happened 34 times. PLAYOFF PICTURE If the postseason began today, the Bengals would be the third seed and would host Kansas City in the first round. That would be a matchup of teams with the first- and third-longest current postseason win droughts in the league.The Bengals have not won a postseason game since 1990 season and the Chiefs since 1993. In the middle are the Lions, who haven't won a playoff game since 1991. If the playoffs began today, New England would have home field throughout with Denver as the second seed. The other first-round game would have Indianapolis (7-4) hosting Pittsburgh (7-4). The Browns (7-4) are currently eighth in the AFC and third in the North. The Ravens would leapfrog the Browns with a win at New Orleans tonight by virtue of their Week 3 win in Cleveland. The Steelers have the tiebreaker over the Browns by virtue of having a better record in common games (Steelers 4-2, Browns 2-3). Both are 2-2 in the division. The Chiefs and Chargers are both ahead of the Browns based on a better record in conference games. Both are 5-3 to Cleveland's 4-4. http://www.foxsports.com/ohio/story/browns-and-bengals-win-on-same-sunday-for-fourth-time-this-season-hit-a-milestone-112414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
