Cleveland Browns ended their near 19-year wait for a play-off spot after they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-22 on the final day of the NFL regular season.
Nick Chubb and Jarvis Landry ran in two of the Browns' three touchdowns while Austin Hooper connected with Baker Mayfield's pass in the third quarter. The result ended the longest active period of absence from the play-offs in the NFL, stretching back to 2002.
Elsewhere, Green Bay Packers secured the top spot in the NFC Conference while the Tennessee Titans won the AFC South. Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Rams and Baltimore Ravens also qualified for the play-offs. They begin with the Colts taking on the Buffalo Bills on Saturday.
