One big win over the Steelers and Browns fan are acting like the own the AFC North.
A Cleveland-themed sports fan account tweeted a meme on Monday showing the starting quarterbacks of the division with Bengals QB Joe Burrow giving a thumbs up, Browns QB Baker Mayfield with his fingers down and Ravens QB Lamar Jackson pointing.
Then we come to Ben Roethlisberger. The meme is a photo of him sitting on the bench with his hands in his pockets as the final seconds tick off the clock in the embarrassing Wild Card game last season with his face replaced with “Sloth” from the 1980s classic movie “The Goonies.”
That’s a lot of smack talk for winning one big game. Cleveland Sports Talk's Twitter account does have over 62,000 followers but is not verified. You’d probably like to see a little bit more consistency from the Browns before you start thinking they are now the Steelers big brother, not the other way around.
The Browns haven’t won the AFC North since 1989 and the Steelers are the current defending division champs.
Up until last season, Roethlisberger was the winningest quarterback in FirstEnergy Stadium history until recently, when Mayfield finally broke that record and it should also be pointed out that Ben only plays there once a year.
While there is no doubt the Browns are better than they have been in over 30 years, one Wild Card win doesn’t change much, so we’ll just have to see what plays out this season.
