Thank you to the @Browns for an an amazing season, against all odds. This team's resilience was remarkable. It was an honor to be along for the ride.

It truly was an amazing season that saw the Browns defeat the odds and see much more success than most people thought they would.
That’s especially true of most analysts who were ready to count them out after they lost Deshaun Watson to a season-ending shoulder injury halfway through the year or when they lost Nick Chubb in Week 2.
It was even more true when they turned the offense over to free-agent veteran quarterback Joe Flacco due to a lack of effectiveness in the passing game, despite the fact that Flacco hadn’t been a starter for several years.
Therefore, in spite of a sad finish to the year, it was a remarkable season nonetheless, and most fans will echo the thanks of Siciliano as we look forward to next year.
