Cleveland Browns News: Remembering the Browns 2002 playoff game
By Dan Justik
The Daily Dawg Tags brings you all the Cleveland Browns news that you need to know, including looking back at the Browns playoff appearance in 2002.
The Cleveland Browns are once again looking towards the draft in January instead of worrying about their next opponent in the playoffs or in depression following a playoff loss.
The excitement and nervousness of being in the playoffs are feelings that Browns fans have not felt in a long time – 17 years to be exact. They came close in 2007, but a Jim Sorgi led Colts team could not help Cleveland out.
The Browns appear as close as ever to making the playoffs once again, thanks to having a franchise quarterback in Baker Mayfield and a dominating pass rusher in Myles Garrett. With those two leading their sides of the ball, Cleveland seems destined to be playing in the playoffs in the near future.
