The Most Improbable Loss in History

The New York Jets have shown over the last 50+ years that improbable success is not something that happens to them. The Cleveland Browns have spent nearly the last 60 years showing that improbable failure is something that happens to them. The unstoppable force meets the immovable object...

[@staringatthesun861]

You should do a video on 2001 Browns vs. Bears. The last time a team blew a 13+ point lead in the final 2 minutes. That was even more miraculous, as the Bears trailed 21-7 with 32 seconds left. So they needed a touchdown, a recovered onside kick, an eventual Hail Mary, AND had to then win it in overtime.

[@christianlandbo4625]

I think that just happened week 2

[@OttawaRocks]

Yeah, I remember this one. I tuned in to this game with about 2 minutes left and thought to myself if the Bears just score and then get the onside kick they will have a chance to tie the game. And then it all happened, including winning the game in OT later on. Unbelievable.

It's always a joke you say when getting blown out, "hey we just have to score here, onside kick, recover the ball, score again, and we're back in it!" except it actually happened

[@RelivingBaseball]

This is probably the 2nd biggest comeback I’ve ever seen only to the Kings comeback vs the Timberwolves on January 27, 2020: Minnesota led 115-98 with just 2:31 to go in the 4th quarter. Teams were 0-8,378 when trailing by 17+ with less that 3 minutes to go. The Timberwolves went 1-6 from the free throw line for the rest of the game. De’Aaron Fox got an offensive rebound after a missed free throw to tie the game 119-119 and send it to overtime. The Kings went on to win 133-129. It’s the same kind of story with the Kings being historically bad and somehow catching lightning in a bottle

[@Grievous_]

Holy shit 0-8378 up until that point. That’s actually crazy!!!

[@jackmattingly6780]

I had bet the Kings in that game!!! Every bad beat I’ve taken since is to make up for the luck I used there

[@troveteam]

Diehard Kings fan, I watched the game live and nearly cried from joy

[@thebarchking]

The Corey Davis route was a great chess move by MLF. Moore ran a similar route, but didn't take it down field, both on Denzel Ward. Davis made the same move, but instead of breaking to the sideline like Moore had done (and seemed smart to stop the clock), Davis goes down the field. Denzel Ward expects the same route and tries to break in front of him to get a pick. Genius move by MLF.

[@shannonmikko9865]

Joe Flacco seems like such a down to earth guy, glad to see him get another comeback so late in his career. As a Ravens fan I’ll never forget the 2012 season

[@CraftySouthpaw]

That was my favorite part of this, seeing Flacco get (what may be) one last moment of glory in his career.

[@cloakedsquid]

very underrated player imo

[@jonnuanez7183]

The most improbable loss in my lifetime was the Chargers' Christmas present to the Browns, giving them their only win of 2016. A day when Philip Rivers threw for over 300 yards, yet lost to a winless Browns, who never won again that season. Still mindblowing.

[@thenumberquelve158]

That is the day I officially ragequit from the Chargers. I spent the first 26 years of my life in San Diego, had been big on football since 2008, but that was enough suffering for me. Luckily nothing much has changed. They're still constantly one of the best teams on PAPER, but they can't put anything big together.

This is one of those games you can ONLY lose if you are the Browns. I don't know if it was the fact the original team moved to Baltimore and a Cleveland Browns 2.0 grew up in its stead, and that caused a rip in the Matrix or something.... but ONLY the Browns can lose like this. The fact that they still have a diehard fanbase is beyond commendable. God bless the Dawg Pound.

If the Browns go back into full bottom barrel again, years from now we'll look at how they handled Baker in 2021/22 as the greatest error in franchise history

[@Hoontear]

Baker barely outplayed Brissett in QBR week one WITH the help of the two terrible gaffes by the Browns secondary. Baker is average at best

[@adamkg6915]

@@Hoontear baker had the browns in the playoffs, more than they could say in the past 20 fuckin years bud

[@SerialGrunt]

This is such a fucking ridiculously obnoxious brain dead take. The browns have Watson now AND Brissett is better than Baker. Swaths of the field weren’t available in game planning/calling in the passing game with Baker at QB. We’re already seeing how we can open up the offense with Brissett and he’s just a placeholder for the real guy lmao

[@theeuphioanswer770]

As a Bears fan, I was unhappy with how the Bears coaches and management scape goated Trubisky as the problem with the team. That was wrong. But like Browns fans with Mayfield, it's clear that these two QBs are simply not franchise quarterbacks. There's always a chance they can have a Trent Dilfer type redemption, or age well and perform well like Testaverde. But they simply aren't pro bowlers.

[@Gablablin]

[@sjlbean]

After the Browns scored that touchdown with 2 minutes left I changed the channel because the Yankees were rallying from down 4-1, and when I checked back the first thing I saw was the Browns at 30 and the Jets recovering the onside kick and I did not believe what I was watching

[@JETSFan_57]

That was the best 2 minutes of my life

[@jackoster7115]

I was at this game. Me and my parents left my sister at the stadium so we could get an early start on traffic and we knew it was a lock. Amidst victory chants throughout the leaving crowd I hopped the fence out of confidence and started walking to the tailgate spot. I heard something about 31 from some passerby Browns fans and was a little confused, since I knew we had missed the extra point. By the time everyone got back to the boat we were all silent

[@Trillyana]

Side note: The Jets WERE going to win that game you mentioned a few years ago when Baker was a rookie, but the Browns' OL decided they didn't feel like protecting Tyrod Taylor that day and waited until he got injured from getting sacked 308 times and Baker started playing to show up

[@CraftySouthpaw]

Jets have a history of paying the price for injuring QBs. A similar thing happened a year or two earlier vs. the Fins when Cutler got hurt and Matt Moore stepped in and lit it up. Oh, and then there was that QB drafted out of Michigan...
