The Cleveland Browns secured a playoff berth with a 37-20 victory over the New York Jets on Thursday night. Quarterback Joe Flacco, who joined the Browns just over a month ago, played a key role in the win, passing for 309 yards and three touchdowns. The victory marked the Browns’ second playoff berth since 2002, and they still have a chance to win the AFC North.
Despite numerous injuries throughout the season, including missing key players like QB Deshaun Watson and RB Nick Chubb, the Browns have continued to find success. Flacco, in particular, has stepped up as the team’s fourth starting quarterback. The atmosphere in Cleveland was electric as fans celebrated the team’s playoff berth.
The Jets, forced to start Trevor Siemian for the second week in a row with Zach Wilson sidelined by a concussion, couldn’t overcome the Browns’ strong performance. The Browns’ defense played a significant role, forcing turnovers and contributing to the team’s success.
The Browns will face the Cincinnati Bengals on January 7 in their next game, while the Jets will play against the New England Patriots on the same day.
