NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — The NFL's longest active playoff drought is moving closer to an end after 18 seasons. Baker Mayfield threw for 334 yards and four touchdowns as the Browns scored the first 17 points and held on to beat the Titans 41-35.
Cleveland has won four straight. With both chasing AFC playoff berths, the Browns looked like the team leading a division as they improved to 9-3.
Browns recover another onside kick. And barring a fumble on the kneel down this is over. #Titans rally from 38-7 down to within 41-35, but fall to drop to 8-4. @NC5

The Titans fell into a tie atop the AFC South, though they still have the better division record. Cleveland is second in the AFC North behind unbeaten Pittsburgh.
The Titans are now 8-4.
#Titans coach Mike Vrabel on start to game: Poor coaching, poor playing, couldn't sustain drives, couldn't get stops. @NC5
