Joe Flacco killed us and saved us.

We gotta do something about that OL. Cant run, no time to throw.

Its win, thank God! I feel so relieved.

That was rough, but here we are at 9-5.

How the back-ups are producing, is amazing. That is great coaching

Great win !!

The Defense played very good

The Offense did what they had to

I give the Offense a big that a boy

The offensive line was what you saw in pre-season

Never gave up even if it didn't look that way !

9-5 !!!!!

What a win!!

And wow, a winning season! And we’re still in the thick of things for the division crown and great playoff seeding!

Is this real?

Hope Z is okay. Terrible FOX game coverage.👎

Flacco came through when it mattered with a gunslinger mentality, that throw to cooper i'm not sure we have another QB that would have had that result, and then the side arm fling ffalling down to njoku was a back breaker, thats the kind of play we always saw against us. One thing is evident, is Njoku is thriving with a QB that looks for him, hopefully that translates into next year. We are now 92% Lock to make playoffs.

What a weird year we’re having. We keep losing key players and we somehow keep winning. I mean, that ball was in that bear’s arms and it just bounced out? There’s just no predicting WTH is going to happen any given week. Maybe the only confident prediction to make is that it’s gonna be ugly. I don’t think we have any pretty games left in us. I’ll take all the ugly wins we can muster thank you very much.

Gonna have to see if Z Smith ends up on the injury sheet this week. What would a 2023 Cleveland Browns football game be without a key injury?

Our D only gave up 220+ yards and their 2 TDs were the result of a total of 1 offensive yard.

Guts by Flacco.

THis coaching staff keeps making adjustment to even more injuries. If KS isn't COY, the award means nothing.

What was wrong with the coverage? I like the 2 announcers we have had the last 2 weeks.

Milk started things off with never a doubt. LOL...I was starting to have some.

Nice win.

Honestly, I just got disgusted at the end of 3, put on traditional Christmas music and took a snooze. Woke up to check on the score and saw the final at 20-17 for the good guys. That's 2 games this year I stopped watching due to irritation with the team's "meh" performance, and 2 games the Browns won. Ravens and Bears. Maybe I should stop watching sooner in the game, or just not at all so they win?

I was wondering if they would use Goodwin on a long ball. I think we will see that again

That should have been a TD at the very end. The ball went right in his lap. Thank God it wasn't.

What a game! 9 & 5!!! Go Browns!!!

My postgame thought is y’all in game day chat should never watch competitive sports. You cannot handle the ebb and flow. And the Browns defense held another NFL team to 17 points. I never want to read about how bad Jim Schwartz is again.

A few whiny ass bawl babies that ruin the experience for everyone. They're there because nobody can stand to watch a game with them in person.

That's why I mentioned 1980. All those last second wins that year just like this season and that Hail Mary then and today. Difference is today we won and in 1980 we didn't have all these injuries. Kardiac Kids have returned!!!!

- Hats off to this coaching staff. Just an incredible job to have this team at 9-5 with all of the key injuries.

- Stefanski with another great game calling plays.

- Flacco with his second straight game over 300+ yards. Overcame the early INTs to lead the team to victory when the game was on the line.

- The defense was excellent today. JOK, Newsome, Tomlinson, Wright all made plays. Garrett ripped down by his facemask and no call was made.

- 19 total punts between both teams.

- Browns special teams continues to be a bright spot.

- Browns had two 100+ yard receivers today, which is a rarity.

- The procedural penalties need cleaned up.

- Jerome Ford may need Eric Dickerson goggles so he see the running lanes.

- Deep pass to Goodwin finally paid off.

- Hopkins to the Pro Bowl.

- Mo Hurst led the defensive huddle pregame after being ruled out the remainder of the season.

Game balls: David Njoku and Greg Newsome

This team believes in themselves and each other. Looking forward to next week's win in Houston.

We need to get healthy . Not pretty but a win is a win. The D did their job. 14 of their points were gifts so the D held them to 3. Need the Jags to thump the Rats tonight.

It wasn't pretty but a win is a win. That hail Mary at the end was too darn close to being completed! Flacco had us all on an emotional roller-coaster.

First Winning since? 202I, 2020? Either way,
at Nine Wins guaranteed a winning season.


Can Deshaun Watson play better for the Browns, than Baker Mayfield would have? ... Now the Games count.

Happy Birthday browns32 ... mine is tomorrow. We'll share this gift


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

Jerome certainly does not have the vision that makes Nicky so dangerous.

Seeing the cutback is what chubby does better than anyone. And Jerome does not have that. He’s a baller and I love him, but obviously he’s no Chubb.

At any rate, I think this is one of the top 10 wins of the expansion era. We are so banged up that post season advancement is unlikely but this team has something. And they ball OUT.

Proud to be a browns fan today. That was a freaking great win.

True insanity.

Again I had to take shower after the game because of stink under my arms.

I thought we had hit the tipping point of injuries when Bitonio and Harris went out. The protection was horrific.

Still in shock that we actually won the game.

I'd like to see someone besides Harris at Center. We missed Pocic. We need him back

Harris is useful, but no way can he hold up against a big tackle on the nose. We should know this by now.
