The Browns visit the Texans on Sunday in a game that will impact playoff seedings.

Cleveland, which has overcome the loss of quarterback Deshaun Watson and running back Nick Chubb to injuries, currently has the fifth seed in the AFC postseason standings. The Browns (8-6) also trail the Ravens by just two games in the AFC North.

Veteran quarterback Joe Flacco was signed by Cleveland after Watson was placed on IR with a shoulder injury that he suffered against Baltimore. Flacco has led the Browns to back-to-back wins.

In last week's 20-17 victory over the Bears, Flacco was 28 of 44 for 374 yards — including 212 yards in the fourth quarter — with two touchdowns. David Njoku had a career-high 10 catches for 104 yards with a touchdown, and Amari Cooper had four receptions for 109 yards.

The Texans are among four teams in the AFC that are 8-6. However, Houston is the eighth seed behind the Bengals and Colts by virtue of a tiebreaker. The red-hot Bills are the ninth seed, also at 8-6. The Texans play Indianapolis in the regular-season finale, which could decide the AFC South.

Houston eliminated its division rival in Tennessee with a 19-16 victory last week. Quarterback Case Keenum, starting for the injured C.J. Stroud (concussion), rallied the Texas from a 13-point deficit.
