Browns vs Chiefs live stream: How to watch NFL playoffs game online now

The Browns vs Chiefs live stream today finds Cleveland looking to see if lightning can strike twice and keep the momentum of last week's history-making game. While the Chiefs were taking their first-round bye last week as the AFC’s #1 seed, the Browns were making history. 

Fourteen seconds into their first playoff game in 18 years, the Browns lead the Steelers, 7-0. By the end of the first quarter, they led 28-0 and were on their way to their first playoff win in 26 years. The Browns converted five turnovers last week into 24 points. It is highly unlikely this NFL live stream will feature giveaways like that again.

The Chiefs have the fourth fewest turnovers in the NFL and their quarterback Patrick Mahomes, for all his dazzling abilities, rarely receives praise for his ability to protect the football. Mahomes is the only QB this season with at least 550 pass attempts and less than 10 interceptions. He threw six picks to his 38 touchdowns.

Kansas City is expected by many to get back to the Super Bowl if not repeat as champs. Seven Chiefs were selected to this year’s Pro Bowl, four of them on offense including Mahomes, tight end Travis Kelce, wide-receiver Tyreek Hill and left tackle Eric Fisher. Kelce is coming off his best season. His 1,416 receiving yards led all tight ends and was second amongst all receivers. He also caught a career high 11 touchdowns.    

The Browns offense has a familiar face to Kansas City fans. Kareem Hunt spent his first two seasons in K.C. He’s now a member of the Brown’s dynamic backfield. Hunt and fellow running back, Nick Chubb, combined for 23 total touchdowns this season.

The (11-5) Browns are currently 10-point road underdogs to the NFL’s best (14-2) Chiefs. The Over/Under is 57.
