The Cleveland Browns managed to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-25 on Sunday to move to 8-3. With the win, they also accomplished something the franchise hasn't done in 26 years.

Cleveland is now five games over .500.

The last time the Browns were five games over .500 was in 1994. That team finished 11-5, defeated the New England Patriots in the wild-card round and lost in the divisional round to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

This Cleveland team could very well finish with a better record than the 1994 team, too. The Browns will face the Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens, New York Giants, New York Jets and the Steelers to close out the season.
