What a feel good story. Never apologize for this authentic moment. Heartwarming. Go Andrew! Go Browns!

[@geo_ashburn]

For those who do not know. Sciciliano grew up a Browns fan

[@clevelandcbi]

​@@geo_ashburnI knew I liked him for a reason. 😂

[@clevelandcbi]

GET WELL SOON, JIM. Was thinking of you when Moody missed!!!!

[@user-qw9wr6cf7f]

Lifelong Browns fan here, LOVED hearing Andrew Siciliano call the game!! So much fun!!

[@ProdiJml]

Feels good that the browns are getting actual love on this show from genuine browns fans

[@midnightwriter9658]

Andrew did an awesome job behind the mic yesterday. As a lifelong Browns fan (since 1965), if Jim Donovan cannot return as the game announcer, Andrew would be a perfect replacement !!

[@zakvillers9433]

I agree

[@bryanwasserstrom7872]

Agreed

[@hungphat1553]

Great job browns, from a Niners fan. Put together a kickass gameplan with a backup Qb. That defense is Forreal. They were rested from the bye and just beat tf out of the Niners physically

[@ericbackderf5584]

Thank you! I believe your team will be in the SB, barring major injuries. It is a looong season. To be fair: Both teams had bogus calls against them 😒

[@hungphat1553]

@@ericbackderf5584 it was insane man!! The refs need to stop making themselves a huge part of the games. It’s embarrassing. They called that penalty on Cleveland that was on the 49ers on that kickoff 😂

[@codytinabannister1336]

​@ericbackderf5584 yeah those refs were hilirously horrible. But it was a great defensive battle

[@BrOwNs4EaE]

​@@hungphat1553I appreciate the respect coming from an opposing fan! I've been a Browns fan for over 30 years now and I always like to say I'm one of the most realistic fans on the planet. I did not give us a chance yesterday to be honest lol. With a second or third string quarterback that I didn't even know was on the team until recently lol. Where the 49ers are we aspire to be. You guys are still the best team in the NFL by far in my opinion.

[@BrOwNs4EaE]

I also appreciate you not blaming the loss squarely on the referees and the questionable calls. Any true fan of the game knows bad calls go both ways and are an unfortunate part of the game. That's one thing you will never hear me do either explain a win or a loss on the referees. But thank you again for the complimentary comment

[@danfredericy]

You should feel proud about that call. Jim would have called it with that same enthusiasm and emotion if not more so. You really honored him and us fans. Thanks for the great broadcast

[@evflyguy]

Niners fan here. I gotta say that was a great call, Andrew. Well done!

[@theVHSvlog]

I hate living next to Lake Erie because of all the wind, but man did it come in clutch yeaterday. Relishing this win

[@austingivens3078]

Need more siciliano calling games, you can hear that passion and it makes a browns fan like me proud .

[@MegaSlowe]

He called that missed FG just like Jim Donovan would've. It was great!

[@ericbackderf5584]

Cleveland loves you Andrew! Go Dawg Pound!!! 🎉

[@markperron851]

Great Call Andrew the whole game. I am 65 and a lifelong Browns fan. My first game I saw Jim Brown run the ball at the old stadium. Over the years I have heard Gib Shanley, Nev Chandler, Jimmy Donovan and Chris Rose call great games for decades of Browns games. Your call belongs right there with them. Great Job, Go Browns!!!

[@midnightwriter9658]

Absolutely!!! I saw my first game at the old Municipal Stadium with dad way back in 1965 ... Andrew did a fantastic job yesterday.

[@johnfarr2738]

Congrats on getting to call the Gabe of your childhood team! Very cool.

[@5minprojects817]

you said "no good" twice ... l screamed :"OMG he missed" like 10 times. You, me and all the brown's fans needed that one. DAWG POUND ALL DAY

[@kjsdpgijn]

Glad Andrew got to call that game, that's awesome! And as he mentioned, thoughts out to Jim Donovan, keep fighting the good fight brother! Great job Browns, that was a wild game

[@samhill93]

Listened to the entire game on the radio, Andrew was amazing! It’s tough to replace Jimmy Donavon, but he and Chris Rose have both done a spectacular job. Along with the great Dr. Z (Nathan Zegura) on color, it has been great listening. Go Browns!!

[@duzzitmatter8679]

It used to be great listening simultaneously online via the Browns app. NFL decided to crackdown on regional broadcasting and now I can’t even get the radio game-call over the internet. This disappoints me to no end.

[@caseywhalin8415]

Nathan is phenomenal i could see him replacing Donovan when he retires. His football IQ is crazy good I wonder sometimes why he isn't a coordinator in the league or for the Browns.

[@samhill93]

@@duzzitmatter8679 that is unfortunate. I couldn’t imagine not listening to the game on the radio.

[@samhill93]

@@caseywhalin8415 he amazes me every time I listen to him on a call, during Browns Daily, or in interviews on other shows. I remember when he first started in Cleveland as the fantasy expert on 850 AM I think, you could tell back then his football analysis was next-level.

[@mattwilham4349]

This call is incredible. Let the flag fly. Show emotion when the moment calls for emotion.

[@JohnRigby5011]

From a Browns fan to another, so Glad you got to achieve a dream of yours Andrew!! Go Browns!!

A few defensive stats: Points against: 77 --- Rank: 1st (2nd Cowboys at 83) Drive scoring %: 18.8 --- Rank: 1st (2nd Chiefs at 24.6) Total yds. allowed: 1002 --- Rank: 1st (2nd Cowboys at 1460) Yards per play: 3.8 ---- Rank: 1st (2nd Ravens at 4.0) 1st downs allowed: 52 --- Rank: 1st (2nd Cowboys at 81) Pass yds. allowed: 607 --- Rank: 1st (2nd Cowboys at 843) Total off. plays: 270 --- Rank: 1st (2nd Cowboys at 282) Avg. yds. per drive: 15.6 --- Rank 1st (2nd Ravens at 22.4)* Avg. time per drive: 1:56 --- Rank 1st (2nd Saints at 2:23) Rush yds. allowed: 395 --- Rank: 2nd (1st Lions at 388) * Think about that one for a second. Opposing teams average only 15.6 yards per possession. That's insane.

[@teeheeteeheeish]

Damn! Great breakdown thank you

[@samhill93]

Great breakdown! One note, and the NFL needs to get this right for all teams, *63 or 65 points against. 14 (or 12) of the 77 were defensive scores by Pittsburgh, those should not count against the Browns DEF.

[@cardsharks9751]

The third down percentage is the craziest imo 23.1% opponents are 23.1% on third downs against the Browns, that is psychotic, over 75% of the time the Browns defense gets you off the field on third down

[@jake.porter]

now also consider how many shitty situations the offense has put them in with turnovers and what the stats are vs what could be with a functional offense are mind boggling. if this defense remains consistent, i think we’re looking at a top 3 defense all time

[@joeycentofanti1987]

I grew up in north eastern Ohio and love the Browns.

[@mrtyrizzel5760]

Well done Andrew, it was as close to Jimmy as possible. I got teary eyed

[@nicwilkinson8307]

As a Niners fan I'm disappointed in the outcome but very happy for those diehard Browns fans who get these amazing wins. Bravo and enjoy. Your team 1000% earned that W.

[@domosenju__5764]

Fans like you are a god send my brother 🙏🏾

[@chacehorsman2615]

Yeah in the end its football, yo. There were terrible calls aplenty throughout the game. The niners players even said in postgame that they didn't deserve to win that game with how badly they played regardless of how they felt about the calls. Which i think is fair to say given the fact that it shouldn't come down to a referee's call for a game you're expected to win in the first place. Its the same mentality with kickers missing game-winning field goals; they shouldn't be in that position to begin with.

[@RatedAwesome]

Defensive clashes, like the one we got yesterday are just so electric. I really wish the NFL would realize that people are shifting towards watching good defenses. People like picks and fumbles. It isnt always about watching the Dolphins put up 70. I just wanna watch teams battle for points or field position.

[@williama.baltes5230]

Good god he dropped a Nev Chandler on us. If you are Cleveland you know.

[@jamessweeneyjr7251]

Remember him and Gib Shanley. Hope Donovan can get healthy and come back to maybe get a chance to call a playoff game... would be nice.

[@williama.baltes5230]

@@jamessweeneyjr7251Agreed

[@treehugger47]

I loved listening to Nev Chandler

[@QueenReliableRenea85]

When I think of Nev Chandler, I hear It's Pandemonium Palace!!

[@HoYuPhat]

Browns fans whenever they're heavy underdogs will forever reference this game. I'm a die hard Niners fan & I'm not even a little angry. We didn't deserve to win. We got thoroughly outplayed. It's only appropriate that when we finally get the offense moving to setup the game winning FG the kicker we drafted to replace the other guy who didn't miss FGs, MISSED A GOTDAMN CHIP SHOT FG!! Gotta love sports...🤣

[@jena6587]

Can we have Andrew every week??? He’s amazing as always!!!

[@jimmymcshane6804]

Im a 49ers, and I'm still kinda pissed by the loss (though I also kinda expected it), but that was an awesome call at the end of the game. I love the passion and excitement there

[@zein9227]

Could've, should've, would've. It doesn't matter what the teams are on paper. The margin is so small that every team can beat any other team any given sunday. That's what makes the NFL so great. I love deep downfield throws like anybody else, too, but defensive, hard fought battles are just the best.

[@jayvontaymoore1]

Good call Andrew 🔥🔥🔥

1002 yards means only 200 a game. That’s passing and rushing, and keep in mind it’s almost a given to get 200 just passing in today’s NFL. It’s real.

1. Thank you AS for the great calls. 2. Rookie kickers in Browns stadium come to die. It's like reading a putt but the unseen elements will determine it's fate. The wind alone pushed it 2.5 yards.

You did Jim proud. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@NathanBores-ez7dq]

Not a bad call bro! Dawg pound for life!

[@RockBottomPod]

As a Browns fan, I thought Andrew Siciiano did a great job calling the game. Yes, the Tashan Gibson penalty wasn't the greatest call by the referee and it benefited the Browns, but the phantom holding call that called back the Njoku TD, that ended in a missed Browns FG, and the bogus pass interference called on the Browns that set up the SF missed game winning FG were also bad calls, I only know they were bad calls b/c Andrew said so while he was calling the game.. Here we go Brownies, Here we go! roof, roof

[@robertbritton7556]

[@benstreicher5411]

As a Browns fan that wasn’t always in Cleveland for the home broadcast my dad would mute the TV and turn on the radio broadcast. Tons of fun memories listening to Jim Donovan. Best wishes to him, but in the meantime I love hearing the announcers freak out with me when the browns make a big play. So in the humble opinion of this fan great work this Sunday
