CLEVELAND — The long national joke has ended.
The Cleveland Browns finally have a win. It took 15 games in 2016 and a team-record 17 losses in a row going back to 2015, but they finally won a game.
Sunday's 20-17 win over San Diego lifted a huge weight off a team and coach that had fought all season for one stinking victory, but had lost 14 in a row coming into Sunday.
The Browns hung on against the Chargers, blocking a potential game-tieing field goal with 4:49 left and keeping Philip Rivers and the Chargers from scoring once they took over at the 22 with 1:46 left — thanks to Lambo missing a 45-yard try with the clock running to the final second of the game.
