This happened three years ago, but still nice.

That happened yesterday. Browns unveiled their new brown helmet design
Browns’ helmet reveal is a splash (but not the kind they wanted)
Add this to the list of facepalm moments the Browns have endured.

That is soooo Brownsian.

So, if anyone didn't notice, the Browns killed Cincy this weekend in everything but the score. They missed an XP and an easy FG. They dropped three critical passes. They tipped two other catchable passes that got intercepted. In all of that, they held Cincy to something like 70 total yards in the second half. They really do find ways to lose.
I had mentioned this play as an example. Up by two and holding KC deep in their own territory with only 5 seconds left, the LBer thinks he sacked the QB who throws the ball backwards (it was ruled a fumble; had it been forward it would have been incomplete or grounding). An OT picks up the ball and runs it. The Browns let him run, knowing they just needed to stop him short of the goal line as time had expired. The LBer thought he sacked the QB, didn't see him throw it backward, so celebrated by taking his helmet off. The OT advances the ball from their own 39 to the Browns' 25. But the taking off of the helmet was a 15-yard penalty, and the game can't end on a defensive penalty. So KC lines up and wins it with a chip shot FG, winning 40-39
