RUST BELT BOWL
It will be a playoff-like atmosphere when the Cleveland Browns entertain the Buffalo Bills.
The Browns at 8-5 are just one game ahead of the 7-6 Bills in the race for the final wild-card spot in the AFC. If the Browns win and the 7-6 Titans lose in Kansas City to the Chiefs, Cleveland can clinch a playoff spot.
But if the Bills win, they would hold the tiebreaking edge over the Browns by virtue of their head-to-head record.
"If we win, we can make the playoffs," Browns tight end Kellen Winslow said. "It's like a playoff game. We really want to win."
Both cities are blue-collar twins and their teams are led by young up-and-coming quarterbacks.
Rookie Trent Edwards is 5-1 for Buffalo since taking over for J.P. Losman while the Browns are led by Derek Anderson, who is having a Pro Bowl-like season.
