Making their first playoff appearance in nearly two decades, the side stunned everyone by beating division rivals Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card Round.
And after narrowly missing out on the opportunity to pull off a stunning upset against the Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round, the Browns are no longer the same old Browns.

“Why not?” Landry said. “It’s something that people always say you should not talk about. But nobody trains or nobody does what they do to not be a champion. So that’s the standard.”
Landry has been a part of the Cleveland based organization since 2018. Since being traded from the Miami Dolphins, the wideout has earned two Pro Bowl call ups.
