Jacoby Brissett led his Cleveland Browns to a win over one of his former teammates on Sunday and he did it in dramatic fashion by pulling out a 23-17 victory that wasn’t decided until the final minutes of overtime.
Who was that former teammate? Tom Brady, of course. Brissett played for the Patriots in 2016 and was a part of the team that came back to beat the Atlanta Falcons in the Super Bowl.
Brissett, who won a game as a starter for that Patriots team while Brady was out due to suspension, had some fun after Sunday’s win, stealing Brady’s line that he used after a recent win over the Rams.
This has a bad word in it so if that is not your thing then run away right now:

That’s some fun stuff right there by Brissett, who will unfortunately lose his starting job this week when Deshaun Watson comes back from suspension.
Brissett and Brady shared a special moment after the game:

NFL fans had reactions.
Happy for him to go out a winner with a game tying and game winning drive in what is likely his last time as the planned starting QB of the Browns. Couldn’t have asked for a classier person or better teammate at QB. https://t.co/hotVaNKN1m

Also JB is a freaking awesome Browns player.
Came in, played his ass off, kept the Browns alive AND went down the field and beat Tom Brady in OT in a game they had to have.
Love to see it.

Good for him! He deserved a better 11 game record. Would love to see Jacoby stick around after this season but he deserves to go compete for a job.

All the love and respect for Brissett.
