this operation was INCREDIBLE 🔥🔥 literally won the game

Good on the ref for getting in there to put the ball in play, then jumping out the way

The Browns were…ready for situational football?

Always love when teams know rule technicalities. Ref only needs to tap that ball, and Flacco knew exactly when to strike. Football IQ wins games, especially with 2 ticks left.

The ref didn’t spot the ball even remotely correctly lol. But the Packers still shit their pants and shouldn’t have been in that situation.

Ref doesn’t even try to spot it correctly

Flacco is the starter for a reason

The haters won’t enjoy the win. They’ll knit pick the whole game even though we won

They actually marked the ball 1 yard back from what they gained, no one noticed...

Ummm, the Center can’t mark the ball. The ref (wrong ref) tapped the ball and ran off. This was a fail. I’m fine with GB losing, they made many mistakes in this game. This however, was a fail by the refs.

People can shit on the Browns all they want. I truely believe Stefanski is one of the best HCs. His owner is just a dimwit.

Why not hold him up for a second or two? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yeah this was extremely impressive…can’t believe the Browns were so flawless in that execution

Ref is supposed to be given the ball that wasn't legal.

Don’t you need the ref to spot the ball?

It’s why he’s the only active 2X COTY 😎

That was a hilarious collapse by Green Bay the final five minutes.

That ref was in & out, quicker than a banker robbery… makes you think 👀

For everyone saying the center can’t ‘set’ it. He can place it bc when the ref touches it, it *validates* the spot This has *always* been the rule. But after the Dallas/49er game, the league emphasized to the refs that in late game situations they should do the bare minimum

You mean how the center set the ball? The ref touched it? No. That’s not how it works.

Technically the Browns will have to forfeit this win due to the refs never officially setting the ball into play: Njoku catches it, puts it down where he wants, they run up and hike it- that’s an illegal play totally against the rules! If no forfeit, replay the down…

Flacco for MVP

Lmao. They snapped it a full yard behind where Nnjoku was downed

The center can just spot the ball wherever he wants 👍

@reflog18 The kick literally won the game but the entire sequence was perfectly executed. Stefanski has some real room for improvement but he’s a top tier end of the half/game coach.

Props to the official. Runs up. Taps the ball and gets the hell out of the way

I criticize the coaching and play calling a lot. But this was straight coachin.

The shocker in Cleveland.

Bad spot but I accept it as the ref understood the situation. The Browns essentially ceded a yard by lining up prematurely. By the book incorrect but this is a “let them play” scenario. If Njoku correctly spotted the ball and and ref did the same thing would there be an issue?

@breezyCLE Njoku was so smart on that play. Get up and place the ball.

Wait a second. The ref never spotted the ball. WTF!! Surely him doing a fly by and tapping the ball can’t count as spotting it. No F’n way.

Not used to seeing the Browns do things right....

How can the players spot the ball? The ref went to place it and then said “nevermind” and dove out of the way?

chase claypool would have been dancing
