Misery Index · Euphoric
Browns fans canonizing Szmyt and the defense while quietly admitting Flacco's the ceiling they can't shake.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
A 13-10 game decided by a blocked McManus field goal that G.Newsome fell on, after G.Delpit had already picked off J.Love inside the GB 30 to set up Q.Judkins' one-yard plunge. A.Szmyt's 55-yarder at the gun was the cherry, but it shouldn't have been that close — the offense managed ten points at home and needed special teams chaos to survive. Wins are wins, but J.Flacco and this attack can't keep banking on miracles.
What fans said
“Well, it's just like we all said --- Szmyt is a Cleveland hero and we'll hear nothing otherwise.”
