The long wait for regular season Cleveland Browns football is almost over as the team finished the preseason with a loss at the hands of the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs. The majority of starters played Saturday and showed plenty of promise to get fans excited.
It started with the former Chief Juan Thornhill making a great play to intercept a pass and return it for a touchdown. Deshaun Watson and the offense started a little slow but his touchdown throw to David Njoku was a pretty pass.
Here is how social media reacted to the final preseason game with the regular season just around the corner.
#Browns P Corey Bojorquez is quietly averaging 53.3 yards per punt. SHEESH.

Juan Thornhill is to this defense what they hoped John Johnson would be. #browns

The #Browns need to add another running back.

So kind of KC to throw Juan Thornhill a homecoming party. 😁 pic.twitter.com/0ikYD1BiNd

The #browns RB room behind Chubb is interesting. They have to make a move there right?

Cleveland’s 2nd/3rd RB isn’t on this roster.

Wondering the effect of the heat on both teams here late.
Lots of players leaving injured.

There is way too much tension here for a preseason game lol

That kick is coming out so low. From 43. C'mon.

If you are okay with York going into this season as our kicker I think you’re just lying to yourself. I wish he would have worked out, I really do but I can’t lose regular season games because of 1 player.

I don’t see how you can keep Cade York on this team….

Wish we had swingtracker on that York kick
— Andrew Spayde (@AndrewSpayde) August 26, 2023
They should still find a new kicker or a practice squad but you can’t blame that last one on Cade

Well, that was a fun preseason. There are certainly some question marks on the #Browns heading into Week 1. Defense isn't one of them. Offense seems promising. Special teams…well, we'll see what happens next.

A potentially big positive element shined bright for the #Browns heading into the season.
