CLEVELAND, Ohio – This is Victory Monday for Browns fans. Many are still stunned by how the Browns came back to beat the Bears, 20-17, Sunday.
This was Cleveland’s FIFTH victory in the final two minutes. That’s right, FIVE times they’ve won in the final two minutes.
Let’s stop right here and give Dustin Hopkins the Phil Dawson Clutch Kicking Award for the season. I know, there are at least three games left, plus … dare we say it … the playoffs?
If the 9-5 Browns do make the playoffs, Hopkins is a big reason. So is Joe Flacco, authoring one of the most fun Browns stories in a long t

Hey, Nancy: You said it best. As Myles Garrett explained, “Who could have written this story … not even Dr. Seuss.”
Hey, Terry: “I may be emotionally exhausted, but I never lost faith. Yes, Joe threw three interceptions, but did you notice that the team never quit? This team has no quit. The coaches have no quit. Every player called on never quits. No one hangs their head.
