What a day for the Cleveland Browns on the road in Houston as they secured a decisive victory. The game wasn’t nearly as close as the score at the end would suggest with two late scores against backups for the Texans. Quarterback Joe Flacco continues to tell Father time to leave him alone with another 300-yard passing game, with over 250 going to wide receiver Amari Cooper.
You could tell from the first play that Cooper and Flacco were in sync as the pair created big play after big play. It feels like we have not had a quarterback playing at a level like this consistently for a month since the return, it has been fun to watch.
The defense heard all of the noise about being unable to perform at a high level on the road. Though Myles Garrett didn’t get home Za’Darius Smith and company took care of that. The passing defense had one of its best coverage days to get the win, here is how Browns’ Twitter reacted.
God that quote is so good.
It's not football speak, it's the gods honest truth.
The Browns can beat anyone. https://t.co/c9Ep55QJDX

I had my concerns about Joe Flacco's longevity at age 38, i'm glad to have been wrong on that.
his 4th start of the season has been by far his best one, honestly as good as he's looked since 2012-13
he's not aging .. he's actually getting better
it's insane

It’s not hyperbole to say that Joe Flacco might be the best QB for the Cleveland Browns since the return.
The poise. The presence. The performance.
Exactly what this team needed at exactly the right time.

Cleveland Browns fans going to TNF here is a pro tip, pack a bag of cough drops, that will keep the BARKING going LONGER and STRONGER than just beer and water will. (and it's much cheaper)

The Browns have now beaten Zac Taylor, Kyle Shanahan, Shane Steichen, John Harbaugh and DeMeco Ryans, all candidates for Coach of the Year. That's 5 of their 10 wins.
That should seal it for Kevin Stefanski.

I’ve come back down to reality. Can’t believe the Browns are 10-5
Joe Flacco is elite
Amari Cooper was a fleece
Kevin Stefanski is your coach of the year

The Browns are putting the worst beat down on the Texans I've ever seen in the history of the NFL.

A Browns playoff run?

Only Browns player to have back to back 1,000 yard seasons receiving
Most receiving yards in a game by a Browns player (265 yards)
In a year ravaged by injuries- Amari Cooper having the best 2yr run by a Browns WR is refreshing #DawgPound
