As the Cavaliers were getting run out of their own building on Sunday, falling behind by 18 points to the Orlando Magic in game 7 of their first-round series at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, my mind unfortunately — but understandably, drifted to some of the most disappointing home losses in Browns history.

Right at the top of that list, of course, are The Drive and Red Right 88 games. I was ready to up Sunday’s game to those, and it was not a pleasant thought.

But then when the Cavaliers kept fighting back and eventually won 106–94 to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Boston Celtics beginning Tuesday night, my thoughts became a lot more joyful.

Indeed, I thought about the Browns’ 23-20 comeback victory over the New York Jets in two overtimes in the 1986 AFC divisional playoffs. They trailed 20-10 with 4:14 left in the fourth quarter.

Then there was the 1988 regular-season finale against the Houston Oilers at home, when the Browns, needing a win to make the playoffs as a wild card, fell behind 23–7 with 9:32 left in the third quarter, only to come back and win 28–23.

Victories by the good guys are great. Comeback victories by the good guys, such as what occurred in those two Browns games and in the Cavaliers game on Sunday, are even better. They make the fans euphoric after being so defected, and that’s the way it should be.
