Despite injuries to several key pieces of the roster, the Cleveland Browns managed to defy the odds and clinch a 2023 NFL Playoff spot.
The Browns dominated the New York Jets in Week 17 to punch their postseason ticket.
It wasn’t much of a contest as the Cleveland defense overwhelmed the New York offense, though Joe Flacco also had his say for the Browns’ offense.
Flacco has been a revelation since being elevated from the practice squad as he’s injected some much-needed life into the passing game.
With Flacco under center, it’s unlocked David Njoku who’s been on a tear the past several weeks.
After Njoku had another big receiving day, he praised a fan’s creative tribute to him via his personal Twitter account.
“Haha very creative,” Njoku tweeted.

A Browns fan painted their nails in the team’s colors with both Flacco and Njoku’s numbers and faces on them.
It’s quite the gesture for the fan to make considering how much time must’ve gone into painting, and it must’ve been cool for them to have Njoku comment on it.
Njoku led Cleveland in receiving against New York as he had six receptions for 134 yards.
The tight end looked like he was in line for a huge day, but slowed down considerably in the second half.
However, he wasn’t really needed at that point as the Browns had a firm lead in the game and were simply trying to run out the clock with their possessions.
It remains to be seen how far Cleveland can go in the playoffs, but their run has been one of the best stories in the league.
