On the offensive side for the Browns, quarterback Deshaun Watson's performance exemplified a tale of two halves.

This resulted in a negative Expected Points Added (EPA) value of -11.9 and a below-average completion percentage over expectation (CPOE) of -18.2.

According to ESPN's Jake Trotter, the Browns became only the fourth team in the history of the Super Bowl era to win a game after trailing in the first minute and not taking the lead until the final minute of regulation. The Cleveland team showcased their resilience by trailing for a staggering 59 minutes and 20 seconds during the game. Trotter also noted that no team since 2000 has won a game while trailing for such an extended period.

As the Browns celebrated their remarkable comeback victory, it is evident that their perseverance and determination played a pivotal role in securing the win. Their record-breaking achievement and ability to overcome significant challenges showcase the potential and talent within the team.
