Cleveland Browns fans didn’t expect much in 2016. No one expected a playoff berth and even fewer expected the team to win more than three or four games.
But it was surprising that the team started the season with 14 straight losses, certainly set for a winless season that would put the 2016 Browns among the worst teams in NFL history.
That all changed on Christmas Eve, when the Browns did the unthinkable and beat the San Diego Chargers by the close score of 20-17. It led to a celebration among Browns fans who had stayed loyal all season, and gave the players some sense of relief after a miserable season.
