Recap: Trailing 17-13 going into the fourth quarter, the Broncos turned on the jets in the final frame and scored 14 unanswered points against the Lions to secure their sixth win of the 2019 NFL season.

Outlook: Despite a losing season, there is plenty to be hopeful for in Denver moving forward. Drew Lock has played well since being inserted as the team’s starter in Week 13, giving the Broncos something to build around in 2020. Denver will finish off the 2019 campaign at home in Week 17 against the Raiders.

Recap: The Browns’ defense was actually stout for much of the first half, with the Ravens not getting a touchdown until late in the second quarter. However, the wheels came off from there and the Ravens unloaded on the Browns en route to 31 total points and a victory in Week 16.

Outlook: As if things couldn’t get any uglier for the Browns this season, a clip of Odell Beckham Jr. and Freddie Kitchens emerged showing the star receiver going at it verbally with his head coach. How the Browns could be considering keeping Kitchens after this disastrous season is beyond me. The preseason Super Bowl champs are now officially eliminated and will finish below .500 regardless of their Week 17 result against the Bengals.
