Let the Browns’ victory party last a little longer

There is a the 24-hour rule in football – all levels of football.

That is, a team celebrates wins for just that long – one day. And after that, it’s back to work and on to the next game. It has to be that way.

But, just this once, we need to change that rule – if only for a little bit, a few hours.

The Browns players and coaches can celebrate their incredible 48-29 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night at Heinz Field in the opening round of the AFC playoffs until Tuesday morning. That will give them about 30 hours of fun and frivolity.

But for the people in Cleveland and Northeast Ohio, and throughout Browns Nation, will be celebrating this one for a long time. In fact, they’ll be talking about it for decades.

What else can you sat about one of the greatest wins in team history — either franchise, the original one or the expansion-era version – and, get this, the gutsiest one and the most unbelievable one the Browns have ever had?

What else can you say about the Browns fighting through all those obstacles – coaches and players missing the game after coming down with the coronavirus, a plethora of injuries and the fact that no one outside of the Cleveland locker room thought they had any chance at all to take the game into the fourth quarter, let alone win it. This was, after all, against a Steelers team that has owned the Browns in Pittsburgh for 50 years, and was 2-0 against Cleveland there in the postseason.

Ladies and gentlemen, you can’t make this stuff up. And if you did, then no one would believe it.

But believe it. The Browns certainly believe it.

And they made believers out of a lot of people.

This has been a special season almost from the start, and now, after this win, the season is special on steroids.

So, everybody, go ahead and whoop it up. We can let the Browns victory party last a little longer. We deserve it.

But don’t tell a soul.
