W 20-18 at Bengals · Jan 4, 2026
Misery Index · Meh
Browns fans toasting M.Garrett's record and a walk-off Szmyt kick while still side-eyeing everything around it.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A.Szmyt's 49-yarder at the gun caps a Week 18 that the Browns had no business winning and somehow scripted anyway, complete with D.Bush's 97-yard pick-six off J.Burrow and a S.Webb fumble recovery to flip momentum. J.Burrow's late strikes to T.Higgins and J.Chase nearly buried it, but the defense held. A two-point win over Cincinnati in January isn't a verdict on anything — it's just a softer landing than last week.
