Cleveland Browns fans proud of what their team accomplished

Despite the sting from the Kansas City loss, Cleveland Browns fans are proud of what their team accomplished in the 2020 NFL Season.

The Cleveland Browns lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, and while it stung, this fanbase showed nothing but love to their team.

Overall, Cleveland fans tweeted how proud they were of what their team accomplished in a year filled with challenges.

While the team came up short of its ultimate goal, the fans made sure they felt that love when they got home from KC.

After giving all they had Sunday, the resounding message to the team was a warm thank you from the fanbase. Obviously, we all wanted more and would love to be watching this incredibly resilient team take on the Bills. But alas, it was not meant to be.

Yet, the best fans in the world still stood in the cold, showing how proud they were of what Baker Mayfield, Myles Garrett, Jarvis Landry, and the rest of this team gave us as fans this season. While it is always tough to end a season short of a championship, Cleveland’s future is brighter than ever.

Cleveland Browns future bright with Kevin Stefanski

If you think this team is a one year wonder, you’re not paying attention. Along with Andrew Berry, Stefanski put the finishing touches on a culture change that started when Jarvis Landry was brought here then given a boost with the drafting of players like Mayfield, Nick Chubb, Denzel Ward, and Garrett.

Stefanski has created accountability and professionalism that was clearly lacking under the previous two coaches. He established an identity of a no-nonsense team built tough up front on both sides of the ball and works to establish dominance in whatever manner is needed from week to week. This team is prepared and will only get better under his leadership. It also does not hurt that he has helped re-establish Baker Mayfield as the franchise’s future at quarterback.

Baker Mayfield is back

When the year started, questions and doubt surrounded Mayfield’s future as a franchise quarterback. His confidence had been crushed by a second year in the NFL filled with bad coaching and an even worse team environment. He was inconsistent through the first half of 2020, trying to find himself in an offense he had yet to run against another team. Limited practices, no preseason, zoom practices, all had a hand in the early struggles.

Then Stefanski, offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt and Mayfield were given the bye to figure out what worked best. Mayfield found the magic we all saw as a rookie the rest of the way.

In 10 games since the bye, two playoff games, Mayfield would throw just two interceptions and light up some of the best defenses in the NFL in Baltimore and Pittsburgh. He would lead the Browns to their first playoff appearance in a must-win at Heinz Field, where the Browns could not beat the Steelers ever. Not only did he finish the regular season with that win, he then led his team back to Pittsburgh the next week and bounced the AFC North champs from the playoffs.

All of this, and now Mayfield gets an offseason in the same system for the first time in his NFL career. If he could increase his play to top five in a bye week with Stefanski, what will an entire offseason bring?

So thanks again to the entire 2020 Browns players and coaches for an amazing season, but #wewantmore.
