Since the arrival of Odell Beckham Jr in 2019, the Cleveland Browns have been tipped to challenge for the NFL Super Bowl title. However, the Baker Mayfield-led franchise has failed to do so over the last two years.
The situation has improved considerably ever since the appointment of Kevin Stefanski as head coach. The Browns made the playoffs last season. But they eventually lost to Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Playoff round.
That's a franchise record for sacks in a game for @Flash_Garrett.

But what made this victory more significant was the fact the home team was celebrating their 75th anniversary this weekend. The Browns donned a special jersey for the occasion in order to honor their legacy in the National Football League.
Well, what better way to celebrate an anniversary than with a sweet, sweet win? Up next for Mayfield and Co. are the Minnesota Vikings. The NFC North side recently beat the Seattle Seahawks. They will be in high spirits when they take on the Browns in Week 4.
