Is there still a chance for Kevin Stefanski to save his job as Cleveland Browns head coach with a victory over the Bengals in Cincinnati on Sunday?

It would mean ending his sixth season with the team winning back-to-back games, and improving by two wins over last year's three.

Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot reported, "The Browns will continue to discuss Kevin Stefanski’s job status throughout the weekend, and make a decision at some point after Sunday’s season finale in Cincinnati, when the Browns are either 4-13 or 5-12."

If a final decision has not yet been decided by owner Jimmy Haslam, then this Week 18 match-up potentially has more on the line than originally thought.

Stars like Harold Fannin Jr., David Njoku, and Carson Schwesinger are all out due to injury, making a road "W" even more difficult.

Throughout the week, different Browns veterans weighed in on the two-time NFL Coach of the Year. Guard Joel Bitanio was pushing for Stefanski to stay, while superstar Myles Garrett was less positive.

Garrett's line of, "I want things to be successful, however that looks", when asked about keeping the head coach isn't a ringing endorsement.

However, Sunday afternoon plays out, it is certainly lining up to be another fascinating offseason for the Browns.
