20. Oakland Raiders (6-8)

Recap: After grabbing a 16-3 lead over an absolutely dead Jaguars team, the Raiders were blanked in the second half and allowed Jacksonville to come back and win 20-16. The effort led to Derek Carr getting booed off the field after the game.

Outlook: If the Raiders were looking to leave a positive last impression on an already angry fan base in Oakland before their exit to Las Vegas, they failed miserably. While the Raiders have done better than most expected this season, it’ll be yet another year of no playoffs for this franchise. Oakland will play on of its last two games on the road in 2019 against the Chargers.

19. Cleveland Browns (6-8)

Recap: The Browns trailed the entire way against the Cardinals in Week 15. Cleveland would draw to within four points in the third quarter down 21-17, but Arizona blew their doors off the rest of the way and took a 38-17 lead late in the fourth quarter that was simply too much for the Browns to overcome.

Outlook: The Browns have finally been put out of their own misery, as their playoff hopes are finished. Several big decisions are looming next season, including what to do with an unhappy Odell Beckham Jr. and whether or not to bring back a failed head coach in Freddie Kitchens. According to reports on Sunday, the Browns actually may want to bring Kitchens back. Good luck with that. The Browns will host the Ravens in Week 16.
