Despite dealing with many key injuries this season, the Cleveland Browns continue to find ways to win games.
They blasted the New York Jets on Thursday, 37-20, giving them four wins in a row and an 11-5 record, as veteran quarterback Joe Flacco continued to play well.
He threw three touchdown passes for the third time in his last four games, and he has taken Northeast Ohio by storm.
If the Browns defeat the Cincinnati Bengals next Saturday, they will finish the season with 12 wins, something they haven’t done since the 1986 campaign.
On Fox Sports 1’s “Speak,” Emmanuel Acho said these Browns remind him of the 2017 Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles because of how they keep overcoming adversity and refuse to give in.
This Cleveland Browns team reminds me of the 2017 Super Bowl, Philadelphia Eagles team.
The Browns are resilient and legitimately dogs. #DawgPound

That season, the Eagles were flying high with an 11-2 record when they lost starting quarterback Carson Wentz to a torn ACL.
But backup Nick Foles took over under center, and they defeated the defending world champion New England Patriots in the Super Bowl even though they weren’t the most talented football team around.
This year’s Browns lost star running back Nick Chubb to a season-ending injury in Week 2 before QB Deshaun Watson got banged up and eventually bowed out for the year due to a shoulder injury.
But Cleveland refused to bow out as a team, and they have now clinched only their third playoff spot since their current iteration began play in the 1999 season.
It almost seems as if after being cruel to them and their fans for decades, the football gods are finally letting them succeed for once.
