CLEVELAND — "The voice of the Browns" is excited about the 2021 NFL playoffs, which for the first time in 18-years, includes Cleveland.
During an appearance on the "Dan Patrick Show," Cleveland Browns' commentator and 3News' own Jim Donovan expressed his feelings over the end of a nearly-20-year drought for the team.
"Eighteen long years with a lot of twists and turns in there," Donovan said of finally getting to announce that the Cleveland Browns had made it to the NFL playoffs.

While the mood in Northeast Ohio has been generally categorized as "electric" following the Sunday win against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Patrick asked Donovan how he thinks Browns' fans would have taken a loss.
"It would have been devastating," Donovan said. "If it had gone the other way, it would have been devastating."
The play-by-play commentator also discussed what it finally took for the Browns to get back to who they are, and what it felt like watching the team struggles over the years.
"There were so many times during my tenure doing their games that they just seemed so lost in what they were doing," the 3News sports reporter said.
The Browns will go head to head against the Pittsburgh Steelers again on Sunday, which you will be able to watch exclusively on 3News.
