Welcome to the Kardiac Kids, Take 2

OK, Browns fans, now that you’re breathing again, the question that begs to be asked is, “Are you having fun yet?”

Well, are you?!

Of course you are. We all are. Come on, how you can not be having fun? This is Chuck E. Cheese for adults. You just roll around in the balls and have belly laughs.

Welcome to the Kardiac Kids, Take 2.

The Browns’ 27-24 win over the host Tennessee Titans on Sunday, achieved on Andre Szmyt’s 32-yard field goal as time expired, is just another example of how much fun — but also how exasperating, heartstopping and nerve-racking — this rollicking, scintillating and unpredictable — this ride is. It is definitely not for the faint of heart.

But it is worth it. Oh, my goodness, it is certainly worth it. You will never forget any of it. It is all too special — too memorable — for that.

It was true in 1980, and it is true in 2026.

We have told you about that here, on BrownsDailyDose.com, for years now. Probably a lot of you didn’t believe it, and that youhad to see to believe it, and now that you’ve seen it, you believe it.

And this is just really the start. The season is only about 1/3 of the way through. You have a lot to look forward to.

That’s the best part, really.

There was an extremely popular T-shirt in 1980 that read, “I ♥️ THE KARDIAC KIDS.”

And now you love them, too.

But from those of us who have been through this before, please just hang on tightly, with both hands, OK?
