What I saw was a season that changed the culture of this franchise. Since 1999 every time this team looked like they were ready to compete and would have bad things happen the team would fold and not recover. This team overcame each and every injury and found a way to make the playoffs. They turned Cleveland Browns Stadium into a real home field advantage.

Teams that lose lead the league in turnovers don't normally make the playoffs. The Browns did. Teams that lose their top offensive weapon (Chubb), their QB (Watson), their top 3 tackles, and 3 safeties for the season usually don't make the playoffs. The Browns did. Why this team changed the culture of the franchise.

I enjoyed this season as frustrating as it was with all of the injuries more than any season since the return. This team beat both teams that won the home field in the AFC and NFC playoffs. It felt like the late 80's again by the lake. At least it did for me.
