It took 12 years for it to happen, but Cleveland Browns finally won’t have a losing NFL season on their hands.

In a tightly contested match against the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars, the Browns managed to get a 27-24 win and improve to an 8-3 record. In the worst-case scenario, Cleveland will finish the season at least at 8-8, which would still be better than anything they’ve done since 2007.

The Browns finished the 2007 campaign with a 10-6 record but failed to make the playoff thanks to being on the losing end of a tie-breaker with the Pittsburgh Steelers that year. Since then, the Browns never won more than seven games in a single season.

After snapping the second-largest losing seasons streak in NFL history, the Browns now also want to end the longest active playoff drought in the league. Cleveland last made the postseason in 2002.

“We still haven’t played our best ball yet, and I truly believe that,” said quarterback Baker Mayfield, who finished the game against Jaguars by completing 65.5 percent of his passes while throwing for 258 yards and two touchdowns.

Browns have a good chance of making the playoffs this season, considering the extended postseason format in 2020. They are set for several challenging games, notably against Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, but also get two breaks by playing winless NY Jets and not-so-good New York Giants by the end of the season.

The Cleveland Browns came from behind to end their 635-days losing run with a 21-17 win over the New York Jets Thursday night.

Rookie Baker Mayfield starred the Cleveland-based team to their first win almost two years. The last time Browns won was on the eve of Christmas in 2016, defeating the Los Angeles Chargers 20-17. Last Sunday, they almost won as they led 12-3 against the New Orleans Saints, only to blow the lead and lose 21-18.

While the team looked united and energetic in all areas, Mayfield ignited the win. With the Browns trailing 14-0, the 23-year-old completed 17 of 23 passes, connected a goal and caught a two-point try to force a tie in the third quarter.

Mayfield expressed his joy at the team’s win right after showing coach Hue Jackson should make him the season starter and not Tyrod Taylor.

“This crowd deserved to see that first win at home. And so that’s the thing I’m most proud of, we put it together for the fans at home, Mayfield said. “I felt the energy. That was an unbelievable feeling.”

To celebrate the win, Beer Company Bud Light offered free drinks around the city as part of the company’s promotion campaign. For running back Carlos Hyde, the win couldn’t have come at a better time. After completing two touchdowns and helping the Browns win, the 28-year-old went home to celebrate the birth of his son.
