According to our FBI, Cleveland has a 58% chance of reaching the playoffs but advances another story.

They have a 16% chance of reaching the divisional round and just a 3% chance of getting into the A F C championship less than a 1% chance of getting to the big game.

So tough situation for Cleveland, Diana, Bart Scott bringing you in.

And Diana, What's the latest on that covitz situation going on in Cleveland?

Yeah, well, Cleveland's gonna be without their star corner Denzel Ward, who tested positive for Koven, 19.

There have three players in total, as of right now, who will not be able to suit up against the Pittsburgh Steelers now, right?

Doctor still says that he does not believe that there is an outbreak in Cleveland, which is a really good sign because if you think about it going back toe last Saturday, when that whole receiver group tested positive, released were in close contact with people that were positive for Kobe 19, it became a problem.

So the fact that it hasn't been considered or called an outbreak is a really good sign.

We're going to know some more information later today.

Once Cleveland gets in their building and makes those decisions.

Remember this morning between five and 5 45?

That's usually when the players and the coaches air showing up to those trailers to get tested for Cove in 19.

So, hopefully for the brown sake who are trying to make the playoffs for the first time in 17 years, no other players will test positive for Kobe.

Okay, so maybe some good news there, Rob Ninkovich joining us now, Bart, though I want to start with you.

Are the Browns in big trouble heading into Sunday?

Giving this, given this covitz situation, I mean, they are in huge trouble.

I mean, could you imagine losing to the Jets and then losing to Big Brother not to be able to get in the playoffs?

This is gonna fall squarely on the shoulders of Baker.

Mayfield and his ability Thio really affect the game with his arm, not his legs.

Last week, you think about how Nick Chubb Green, huh?

Was shut down and it was put in Baker Mayfield hands.

And listen, this is gonna be huge for him in terms of him getting his fifth year option picked up, Baker's gonna have to show up, and he's gonna have to show that he's a franchise quarterback.

If not, it's gonna be questioned in Cleveland.

You let a man come off the tall it the week before and beat you, and then you come down and you lose to the Jets, and then you lose the big brother.

The dog pound must feel like they're cursed.

You mentioned that there might be an issue with the fifth year option being picked up.

I'm gonna come back to that a little later in the show.

But, Rob, I have to think we talked about this overnight.

There was this idea of psychologically what this might do to the Browns.

I mean, I think at this point right now, they're they're mentally kind of in the tank that it's gonna be really hard after you lose to the Jets.

When you had control of your destiny, you could have gone out there just win.

You just gotta win and you have to run the football.

We've seen him fumble these balls away more than one time.

So when I think about the Browns, they went from having their own paths where they can control their destiny.

Right now, they lose to the Jets going to play a Steelers game with that, that rivalry there.

I don't care who's the starting quarterback.

It's gonna be the when the Browns walk into the stadium, and it's the Steelers that those two teams do not like each other, So I don't care if the Steelers are have the number one overall seed and they have a first round bye.

They're still gonna play the Browns to beat the Browns.

So I think at this point right now they're treading water, and when you when you have the letdown like they did against the Jets and you put it in Baker's hands and he's not able to come through, he's thinking about that.

I can guarantee you that going into this football game.

So if he loses this game and they're out of the playoffs.

They're not giving them that fifth year option.

With all that he's done this year, he's out.

If he doesn't understand what's their biggest issue, what's the Browns biggest issue?

If they throw the ball over 40 times, they lose.

Well, they have a lot of young talent, but at the end of the day, these air, all tests and the NFL is all about what can you do for me now?

Listen, we talked about, you know, Sam, Donald.

We talked about all these quarterbacks that came in that class.

Baker Mayfield has been given everything that he needs to succeed.

A top offensive line, a good defense to great tackles, two great tight ends, the to the best running back tandem in the game.

If you can't get it done, then then when can you get it done?

Because the rest of the teams in the division have been traditionally better rand organizations.

He comes up small in the big moments, but he's gonna have to prove his work because if I can't get to the playoffs with this roster, what am I going to give him $35 million for a year?

Because that's going to take some of those weapons away.

So he's gonna have to prove that he can do more with less, because right now he's doing less from or I just I can't even imagine it when you think about where we were this time last year.

But still, when you think about where we were last year, him, the Browns going 10 and six behind Baker would have been like, really, what a success.
