The Cleveland Browns were the biggest winners of the NFL Honors.
The team had winners for Coach of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Comeback of the Year, and Assistant Coach of the Year.
That’s why NFL pundit Craig Carton jokingly stated that they were like Taylor Swift at the Grammys, claiming that they almost swept the whole thing despite not winning a single playoff game.
“The Cleveland Browns were kinda like Taylor Swift at the Grammys. It was a sweep of damn-near every award,” Carton said.

Ironically, that postseason loss spoke volumes of the reality of that team, only making it all the more impressive that they even managed to get there.
Kevin Stefanski earned the award.
He led a team with four different quarterbacks back to the playoffs, all while dealing with a plethora of injuries on both sides of the field.
Myles Garrett was also the most disruptive defensive force in the entire league and perhaps the most impactful player in the game overall, even if his stats didn’t always reflect that.
On that same note, Jim Schwartz put together a championship-caliber defense and led a huge turnaround overnight for that unit, and it was shocking to see that he wasn’t considered for a head coaching job.
Last but not least, Joe Flacco getting off of his couch to lead a team to the playoffs and throw 13 touchdown passes in a month was just too good a story not to win the award.
Fortunately, the Browns will keep most of their core for next season, and with the resiliency and improvement they showed this year, the fans should be quite excited for the future.
