Watching the #Browns v Falcons 2002 game. Crowds insane.

Browns forced a Falcons 3 and out on the first drive.

Couch then lead the Browns down the field for a FG on our first drive.

3-0 Browns
#Browns force a fumble on ensuing kickoff and recover

Couch immediately throws a pick on the Falcons side of the field. Really really bad throw.
Vick then throws an INT to Robert Griffith on ATL’s next drive.

End of the 1st Q, #Browns   lead 3-0.
Quincy Morgan has 3 penalties on him already (2 false starts and a block in the back). He just forced a defensive hold on 3rd and long though and now the Browns are driving down to the ATL 30 when Couch hurts his ankle.

Enter, Kelly Holcomb
#Browns pooch punt within range of a 46 yarder for Dawson. Ridiculous decision by Butch Davis. Still 3-0, Falcons get back deep in their own territory.
#Browns force a punt and get the ball towards mid-field.

William Green flies up the middle for 20

Holcomb hits KJ for 10

William Green busts one loose to the left edge for another 20 and a TD. Crowd is going berserk.

#Browns lead 10-0 midway through the 2nd. Dominating.
Falcons follow-up the #Browns TD with their best drive of the game.

Vick to Finnerin for a 20 yard TD.

10-7 with 3:36 to go in the half
#Browns go three and out and the Falcons get the ball back with 2 min left.

Vick drives them down to the 10 and throws a surefire TD to Crumpler. It’s called incomplete on the field somehow and upheld in review. Feely proceeds to miss a chip shot FG.

10-7 #Browns at the half.
Absolutely ridiculous call by refs but favored the #Browns . One of the worst missed reviews you’ll ever see and it cost the Falcons 7.
#Browns start the half with a Holcomb pick. Vick drives the Falcons down for a FG.

10-10 game with 9:30 to go in the 3rd

In other news, Michael Vick is absurd. Not that we don’t know that but he was absolutely ridiculous in the 2nd and 3rd Q both throwing and running
Quincy Morgan proceeds to fumble on the ensuing drive. So...3 penalties and a fumble lost lol. Good god what a horrific game for Quincy thus far.
Falcons stall but because of the fumble and recovery, they were in FG range and Feely hits a 49 yarder to give the Falcons the lead 13-10 with 5 to go in the 3rd
Holcomb throws ANOTHER pick. What is even happening in the game? Haha 3rd #Browns pick and 4th turnover total.
Vick moves the Falcons enough for another chip shot Feely FG.

16-10 Falcons with 1:30 left in the 3rd. The #Browns literally haven’t moved the ball since the Green TD. Feels like an eternity.
End of the 3rd Q. Still 16-10 Falcons. William Green has 100 yards through 3Q. He’s the only thing working for our O.

Holcomb moved the #Browns to the Falcons 35 but he’s sacked back to the 50 and we’re forced to punt.

Falcons have the ball up 6 with 12 to go in the game
#Browns D comes up big and forces a 3 and out. Anthony Henry locks up Finnerin on 3rd to deflect a pass.

Browns get the ball back with 10 min to go, down 6
#Browns go 3 and out but Gardocki pins the Falcons back to their own 4.

9 minutes to go in the game.

Falcons fumble! Corey Fuller forces it and Gerard Warren recovers on the Falcons 10.
Holcomb is sacked for a 10 yard loss on 2nd. It’s 3rd and goal on the 15 and Kelly delivers a MASSIVE 15 yard TD to Kevin Johnson!

#Browns lead 17-16 with 7 to go!
#Browns   stop the Falcons after they picked up just one first down. We’ve got the ball on our 30, down 6 w/ 5 to go.

William Green gets 5 on first down and then....

64 yards TO THE HOUSE!! Crowd erupts!!! #Browns  lead 24-16 with 4 to go!

A miraculous turnaround after 4 TO’s.
Needing a win to make the playoffs, up 8 with 1:24 left, the Falcon are on the #Browns 4 yd line. They need a goal line stand.

1st & 4: Dunn is going into the EZ and Brant Boyer crushes him before he can get the ball across.

2nd & Inches: Incomplete pass on fade to Crumpler.
3rd & Inches: Dwayne Rudd CRUSHES Warrick Dunn on the 1.

4th & 1: Earl Holmes stymies Warrick Dunn on the 1

The #Browns complete the stand with 25 seconds left. And that’s Ballgame! Miami would beat NE shortly thereafter and the Browns earn a playoff berth.
The #Browns haven’t clinched a playoff spot since that moment 18 years ago.

The 2020 Browns, who look like they play a different game entirely from the 2002 version based on overall competency, will look to end that drought in the next 2-4 weeks.
