The Cleveland Browns have had a remarkable season, and it was capped off with a 37-20 victory over the New York Jets. The win secured the Browns a spot in the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
The Browns were led by quarterback Joe Flacco, who threw for three touchdowns and ran for another. Flacco was the catalyst for the Browns’ offense, as he completed 21 of his 33 pass attempts for 238 yards. He also ran for a touchdown in the fourth quarter to seal the victory.
Despite Flacco’s impressive performance, the Browns will be without him in the playoffs. Flacco suffered a season-ending knee injury in the win over the Jets and will miss the postseason.
The Browns will now turn to rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield to lead them into the playoffs. Mayfield has had an impressive rookie season, throwing for 3,725 yards and 27 touchdowns. He has also shown poise and leadership on the field, which should help the Browns in their playoff run.
The Browns have had an incredible season, and while they will miss Joe Flacco’s leadership in the playoffs, they have a great chance to make some noise in the postseason with Baker Mayfield at the helm. It will be interesting to see how far the Browns can go without their veteran quarterback.
