Browns wrap up a huge win at home vs. Jaguars and social media exploded
The Cleveland Browns have their head coach well into the future, and they have their quarterback to lead them the rest of the way out in 2023. After defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars behind the arm of Joe Flacco and the mind of Kevin Stefanski, it is becoming apparent the Browns are going to punch back against anyone.
And now with just four games to go, the Browns currently hold the fifth seed in the AFC, the top wildcard slot. It will not be easy the rest of the way out, and the Chicago Bears are up next, but the Browns have an opportunity to make some noise down the stretch and into the postseason.
As Flacco continues to play well, and as Stefanski solidifies himself as the man of the future in Cleveland, the Browns now sit at 8-5 on the season. Here is how social media reacted to yet another improbable Browns’ win.

Joe Flacco became the first Brown to throw three touchdown passes of at least 30 yards in the same game since Brian Sipe on Dec. 21, 1980.

Never forget that people wanted Andrew Berry to be FIRED for trading Josh Dobbs, just for the Cleveland Browns to get over 300+ passing yards and 3 passing touchdowns from JOE FLACCO to get to 8-5 on the season.

The coach a lot of Browns fans want fired. Not me. Not anyone that knows ball.

Browns beat a playoff team
with only 2 starting O-Linemen
down all 3 starting safeties
no Denzel Ward
& Cam Mitchell, Zadarius, and Ogbo in and out because of minor injuriesyeah I think they can win a playoff game

Kevin Stefanski's finger prints all over this victory. Tremendous win. The Browns have four wins with four different QBs this year.
— Pete Smith (@_PeteSmith_) December 10, 2023
The #Browns are just the 13th team since 1950 to have 4 different QBs start multiple games in a season.
Kevin Stefanski has now won a game with all four of them, and Cleveland remains atop the AFC wild-card race at 8-5.pic.twitter.com/uDDOB5f36w

given all the circumstances the Browns are 8-5 this is the best possible outcome you could ask for post-Watson & Chubb injury.
— Quincy Carrier (@Kwen_C) December 10, 2023
I would honestly expect the #Browns to announce an extension for Kevin Stefanski in the coming weeks.
It’s now less of a rewarding situation for KS, and more of a “We need to lock this guy up for the foreseeable future” type of thing for the organization.#DawgPound
— Matt Wilson (@CoachWilson66) December 10, 2023
Any questions about Stefanski's inability to adapt a gameplan to a particular QB are downright laughable and baseless. The Browns are now the first team since 2015 to win games with 4 different QBs in the same season.

Stefanski was all of us watching on this play. Fantastic job from him yet again today. Sign the extension and do it now #DawgPound pic.twitter.com/7JbaJBKEBO

Both Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski should get extensions and you’d be crazy to think different
— Football Chopz (@Pchopz_) December 10, 2023
As a former Stefanski hater, I will be laying down my sword. He is the coach of the year. What he has done this year can’t be overlooked. Well done Kevin.

The “Fire Stefanski” crowd is awfully quiet today…
— Eddie Mac (@KingEdward15) December 10, 2023
One imagines that at some point, for some reason, Kevin Stefanski has been more ridiculously happy than that.
I personally have never seen him so happy.
— Andrew Spayde (@AndrewSpayde) December 10, 2023
Kevin Stefanski can scheme the hell out of an offense
— JP Acosta (@acosta32_jp) December 10, 2023
Kevin Stefanski should have a contract extension on his desk tomorrow morning.

Someone’s gotta make a he’s done miracles on me video with Stefanski

Stefanski really 10-1 against cat teams now😂 #Dawg4L😂

A win today for Joe Flacco would mean that Kevin Stefanski's Browns will have won with four different QBs. Only 7 teams since 1950 have had four quarterbacks win a game in a season.
— Jonathan Jones (@jjones9) December 10, 2023
Joe Flacco is 9/12 for 182 yds, 3 TDs, and a 156.3 passer rating vs the blitz today. Professional quarterback.
— Mina Kimes (@minakimes) December 10, 2023
As long as the Browns offense stays out of mandatory pass situations….Flacco can continue to get the job done. Oh, and of course, don't turn the ball over lol. Good work so far!
— Viva Las Vegan, Baby Deliverer, group chat villain (@BeLikeMike_06) December 10, 2023
Flacco may be old and at the end of his career but he is giving us the best QB play right now that we’ve seen over the past two years. Give the man his props. #Browns #DawgPound pic.twitter.com/ZY45Pe2GHt

Immediately after the game, I asked Myles Garrett on the field about #Browns QB Joe Flacco…
Garrett smiled and said:
“He’s elite.”
— Kimberley A. Martin (@ByKimberleyA) December 10, 2023
Joe Flacco now has 10 wins as a starter in Cleveland Browns Stadium, tying him for the third-most by any quarterback since the stadium opened in 1999.
