Los Angeles Chargers @ New York Jets
Unfortunately the Chargers could still make it in
And the Jets had more wins than anyone expected them to win

Jacksonville Jaguars @ San Francisco 49ers LOCK
And the Jaguars, who played bad out west
Would still stand over the AFC South, and get to put their defense to the test

Seattle Seahawks @ Dallas Cowboys
But the Seahawks were still inching closer to being out
A loss to the cowboys, would surely make them all pout

New York Giants @ Arizona Cardinals
And the Giants sucked, and the Cardinals were relying on Blaine
Oh how the Browns fans knew their pain!

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Houston Texans LOCK
Of course the Steelers would roll on winning game after game
And the Texans could look forward to next year with Deshaun Watson, all the same

They rode with their load, hoping to get rid of the cheer!
For all the teams that wouldn't make the playoffs this year!
"Boo to the Who!" they said with the end of the year upcoming
"They're finding out now that no playoffs are coming!"
"They're just waking up! I know just what they'll do!"
"Their mouths will hang open a minute or two,
Then the who's down in whoville will be crying boohoo!"
"That's a noise," grinned the Browns fans, "That I simply must hear."
So they paused, and put their hands to their hear
And they did hear a sound over the rising snow
It started in low, then it started to grow
But the sound wasn't sad! Why this sound sounded merry!
It couldn't be so! But it was Merry! Very!
They stared down at whoville, watching with their eyes!
Then they shook! What they saw was a shocking surprise!
Every who down in whoville, the tall and the small
Was singing! Without any playoffs at all!
He hadn't stopped the playoffs from coming! They came!
Somehow or another, they came just the same!
And the Browns with thier feet ice ocld in the snow
Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?"
"The Raiders won't make it, and neither will the bills!
"Without the playoffs, how are the fans getting their thrills?"
And they puzzled three hours, till their puzzlers were sore
Then the Browns fans thought of something they hadn't before
"Maybe football<' they thought "Isn't just about the score."
"Maybe Football...perhaps...means a little bit more!"
And then what happened then? Well in Whoville they say
That the Browns fans samll hearts grew three szes that day!
And the minute their heart didn't feel quite so tight
They whizzed through the streets, and shouted all night

Oakland Raiders @ Philadelphia Eagles
On Christmast day, even as the Eagles lost
Their fans came out to support them, no matter the cost
And the Browns fans realized something with glee!
They might not win any games this year, but next year they might win three!

Growing up, I wish some teacher told me "You probably won't ever need this, but if you don't learn it, you might miss out on something really cool."
