The Cleveland Browns are not only in the 2020 NFL playoffs, but they have now won their first postseason game in 26 years -- a 48-37 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday in the wild-card round.
And the Browns have ended yet another notable drought in 2020. Cleveland hadn't won a playoff game since defeating the Bill Parcells-led New England Patriots in the 1994 wild-card round when coach Bill Belichick was the Browns' coach (and Nick Saban was Belichick's defensive coordinator).
Cleveland's 48 points are the second-most the Browns have scored against the Steelers. The result Sunday trails only the Browns' 51 points in a 51-0 win against the Steelers on Sept. 10, 1989.
To say Browns fans are excited would be an understatement. Let's check in:

Myles Garrett on the message the #Browns wanted to send tonight: "We're disrespected. With the media, with the comments from JuJu and other players. They thought they were going to come out here and it was going to be a cakewalk...." pic.twitter.com/FphohL47r3
