    Browns blow out Bengals on 'TNF,' move into first
    maybe someone should tell this man to check his facts before posting an article to NFL.com ?

    just a fleeting thought /shrug

    when in fact the Steelers hold the tie breaker thus have the lead in the division , the devil is in the details Chris Wesseling

    It's such an attention grabbing headline though. It doesn't have to be 100 percent true for these media guys to publish it. It just needs to get the clicks.

    This. Hypothetically speaking, if the playoffs started next week, the Steelers win the division based on conference record (5-2 vs. 4-3). Since there are 7 games left, it really doesn't matter much anyway.

    Systemically, it is the problem with all media these days. Half truths to generate traffic. It used to mean something to be a trusted news source. Those days are loooooong gone.

    "Browns in first place."

    Well, that's not something you read everyday.

    Oh, and at that Chris Wesseling guy.

    Only matters when the fat lady sings.
    Let the Browns fans have their day. What else do they have to look forward to?

    no doubt but ( flawed logic ) I expect more by paid writers from the official NFL website , I could see it by the Cleveland Plain Dealer sports department or even the Youngstown Vindicator but not the Leagues official site

    The Browns are only tied for first place because their game happened 3 days early.

    If they had played tomorrow, their 1st place status would have lasted about 4 minutes.

    It's funny that there is no mention of the Steelers at all in the "first place" article.
