If you stayed up late last night to celebrate the Cleveland Guardians thrilling come from behind, walk-off win at Progressive Field, you would have seen Cleveland sports fans jubilantly celebrating throughout the streets of downtown Cleveland.

Unfortunately, the Cleveland Browns provided their fans with the exact opposite set of emotions while getting pummeled by Bill Belichick and a 3rd string quarterback.

The only silver lining, and I mean only, was Myles Garrett breaking the official Browns career sack record in the first quarter of Sunday's game.

Understandably so, Browns fans took to social media to vent after they saw the team once again look lost on defense allowing 3rd string QB Bailey Zappe to complete 24/34 passes for 309 yards and 2 touchdowns.

It’s 24-6, but it may as well be 45-0…#Browns look completely lifeless on both sides of the ball

Fan Reactions

The #Browns are asking about pre-game music, why is Yakety Sax not a choice?

Give the #Browns defense time. They have faced a QB gauntlet that includes Mayfield, Flacco, Trubisky, Mariota, and Zappe.

Thankfully, it is a quick turnaround to the Guardians as game 4 of the ALDS takes place at Progressive Field tonight. Should the Guardians win, they will compete in the ALCS for the first time since 2016.

Who would have thought in April that the prospects of a deep Guardians MLB playoffs run would provide a distraction from the Browns season for Cleveland fans?
