31-28

After a 30 - 0 pounding from Cincinatti. After 2 1/2 games without a single offensive touchdown. After infighting, bickering, and doubts about Romeo.

And the Browns won.

The 3-8 Browns, who have nothing to gain and are playing for pride, against the 7-4 Chiefs who are fighting tooth and nail to make the playoffs.

And the Browns won.

Down 14 in the 4th Quarter. Starting QB taken out of the game. Team injuries piled up since preseason (including a mental problem for one of the players).

And the Browns won.





















In December, the Browns have only won one time at home since their return in '99. This season, they had yet to score a touchdown on their opening drive.

But today, the Browns won. They scored on their opening drive. They won at home in December. With one of the poorest run defenses, they beat the best rushing team in the league.

For me, the best part of the Brown's win was that thanks to Marie, I was there to see it. Of all the games I've watched at the old and new stadiums, this was the best, and it wasn't for a trip to the playoffs, it wasn't against a hated rival, and no one expected the Browns to win. Today was about loving a team whether they're the best or the worst, and today, against all odds, they loved us back.

Thank you Marie.

Hey Hey
Happy Birthday BJ!
I watched the game through the power and speed of TIVO.
I knew the final score but did not know how it would come to be.
Glad you had a good time.
One week earlier and they would have wrecked your gift.
