CLEVELAND — How about that?! Your Cleveland Browns 39, the Indianapolis Colts 38.
The Browns are 4-2 on the season — back-to-back weeks of some crazy football, back-to-back weeks of victories for Cleveland when maybe it didn't feel like they would.
And yes, back-to-back weeks of the officials helping the Browns? (Did I say that correctly?!) Two controversial calls at the end of the game went Cleveland’s way; we haven't been able to say that much since 1999.
And look, it's another week of a win allowing us to forget (or at least put on the back burner) some issues that are going on with this football team right now, some pretty serious ones.
Yes, the quarterback position — Deshaun Watson goes down in today's win, and it looks like that shoulder injury is pretty serious. He never returned to the game, and P.J. Walker was thrown into action again to try and help save the day.
We've got some problems at quarterback, but again, because of a wild, wacky win over the colts, I'm not going to go there today. We've got all week for that.
Defensively, yikes! We were ready to compare this group to the 1985 Chicago Bears. I think let's hold off on that for now — they just gave up 38 points to Gardner Minshew and the Colts.
But as you've heard me say for years, a win is a win is a win is a win, and in the NFL on Sundays, that's really all that matters. Here in Cleveland, we are not going to complain about victories on Sundays.
There's a lot going on with this Browns football team right now, but wins allow you to procrastinate a bit — kick the can, if you will. Sure, we'll deal with it; sure we'll discuss it, but today is not that day.
Why? Because the Browns just won back-to-back games and are now 4-2 on the season, that's why.
Let's celebrate this victory. We can worry and complain about the other stuff another time, a different day.
