The Cleveland Browns have another win in their pocket following the team’s victory on Sunday over the Tennessee Titans, 27-24. It’s a far cry from last season, when this team was a bottom-feeder in the NFL. This time around, they’re at the top of the AFC North and really have playoff hopes.
One of the most exciting moments of the game for Browns fans was in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Deshaun Watson and the offense made 55 yards in less than a minute to get kicker Andre Szmyt lined up for a 32-yard game-winning field goal.
After the game, head coach Todd Monken made it clear what he thinks of Watson and moves like that.

“I’m proud of Deshaun, the way he’s battled back in games at times and found a way to take us down the field and give us a chance for victory,” Monken said, according to the Browns’ official website. “And the whole offense in general, and there’s been times our defense has made big stops. It’s given us opportunities.”
Monken also said that he thinks the team did a “great job” with their “auxiliary run game.”
“I think it’s hard. If you’re going to try to get, say, anywhere to 130 to 150 yards, I think it’s really hard to get that on normal run plays,” he told reporters. “I think if you’re trying to be one of the better rushing teams, you have to have auxiliary yards, be it by a quarterback, be it by some of your skill players, multiple touches.”
The Browns’ next game is a huge one. They’ll go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in a true AFC North showdown. The winner gets the top spot, for now.
