What a day for the Cleveland Browns, who proved to the NFL today that they are legitimate contenders.
It was a slow and ugly start, but quarterback Deshaun Watson did not throw an incompletion in the second half with several big throws and big runs to put them in the position to win. When the Browns play like they did Sunday against one of the league’s best, they can beat anyone.
It was another great day from defensive end Myles Garrett who made multiple big plays in the first half, including back-to-back sacks to push the Ravens out of field goal range. They were down by two scores multiple times in this game, and they never gave up and fought their way back into the game until they finally took the lead as time expired.
This is a statement win, the second of the season, and if the team can build off of this, at 6-3, they have a shot to do something special. Here is how Browns Twitter reacted to the 33-31 victory in Baltimore.

Browns just went into Baltimore against arguably the best team in football – went down 14 early and clawed their way back without half their secondary and both their tackles WITH a hobbled Deshaun Watson.
Kevin Stefanski is propelling into the COTY conversation

I don't even know what to say about that win. What a resilient group to overcome alllll of that.

I’ve never seen a Browns team this resilient. And that’s a direct reflection of their coaching staff.

s/o to Stefanski man. I really don’t care what anyone says; that man has helped this team win games in the craziest circumstances. I am so happy he is the Browns coach

That did not look like a team that doesn’t believe in their coach.
