The Cleveland Browns have not had a great 2024 season, but the first pick in the 2025 NFL Draft is still within reach.

To get there, Cleveland needs to lose to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday afternoon, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

The team also needs the New England Patriots to beat the Buffalo Bills and the Tennessee Titans to beat the Houston Texans on Sunday.

New England has the clearest path to the first-overall pick with a loss to Buffalo, while Tennessee can clinch it by losing to Houston and having the Patriots top the Bills.

If you're a Browns fan, you're rooting for a loss on Saturday and New England and Tennessee wins on Sunday. That's how you get the top pick!
