This was, without a doubt, the most Cleveland Browns loss of all time.
Yes, the New York Jets won their Week 2 matchup against the Browns 31-30 thanks to some last-second heroics from… Joe Flacco? Despite the Browns holding a 17-14 lead headed into the fourth quarter, the Jets managed to gash Cleveland’s defense for 17 points in the final frame in an all-timer of a collapse for the home team.
The final nail in the coffin for the Browns came with 25 seconds to play with the Jets facing a third and 10 at New York’s 15-yard line. Flacco found Garrett Wilson in a soft Browns’ coverage for a touchdown that looked way too easy for what became the game-winning score.

Seriously, the Browns had a 99.9 percent win probability before this play and still lost! Just brutal stuff right there.
NFL fans could not hold themselves back from clowning on the Browns after this epic collapse.

The universe has a sense of humor and the Browns losing to Joe Flacco in the year of our lord 2022 is a good expression of it

That's the most embarrassing loss I've ever seen by the Cleveland Browns.
Ever.

I never thought the Browns could be more Browns than the Browns. But I was wrong. The Browns have outdone the Browns. It’s PEAK Browns. Nothing will ever be more Browns than this loss.

Just an all-time brutal Browns loss. That could be season-defining.
