NY Jets vs. Cleveland Browns: How to watch Week 16, stream, TV, and more

The NY Jets will return home for the final time in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns.

The NY Jets are riding a wave of momentum late in the season after scoring their first victory of the year last week against a typically-challenging Los Angeles Rams team.

They will look to carry that momentum into their Week 16 matchup against another prospective playoff team, the Cleveland Browns.

The Browns have won five of their last six games and currently sit at 10-4, just one game back of the AFC North-leading Pittsburgh Steelers. Cleveland will need a victory this week to stay alive in the race for the division crown.

As for the Jets, there are dueling aspirations at play.

On one hand, the players and coaching staff will be doing their best to keep the good times rolling with another stunning upset victory. But for the front office and the future of the organization, their eyes remain deadset on the race for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

Unfortunately, with last week’s victory, the Jets no longer control their destiny. The Jacksonville Jaguars hold the strength-of-schedule tiebreaker, and if they manage to lose their final two games of the season, they will secure the top pick in the draft.

The Jets are still holding out hope for a shot at Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, but barring an upset Jaguars victory, their opportunity may have been squandered.

Nonetheless, the Jets will have a better shot of winning this week following a positive COVID-19 test that will see the Browns field an offense depleted at the wide receiver position.

Without their top four wide receivers — including Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, and Donovan Peoples-Jones — the Browns will resort to a trio of unknowns to lead the way at the position on Sunday.

Will it be enough of a detriment to allow the Jets to score their second consecutive upset victory? Or will Cleveland shut the door and officially snap their 18-year-long playoff drought?
