Former Cleveland Browns Pro Bowler Joe Haden will be playing playoff football for the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers this upcoming January.
For Haden, this is a rare occurrence in a career that saw his Browns teams win 29 games in seven seasons prior to him joining the Steelers this season.
Now set to take on the winless Browns in Pittsburgh’s season finale this upcoming weekend, Haden took time out of his schedule to both shout out Browns fans and throw shade in the direction of his former team.
Appreciate it! I got so much love 4 my browns Fans!!! Cause y’all showed me SOOO much love my time in CLE!! It’s not your fault https://t.co/4NpQwyACyd

“It’s not your fault.”
That’s obviously a backhanded slap at one of the worst organizations in professional sports. With a loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday, Cleveland will become just the second team in NFL history to go winless during a 16-game regular season slate.
The team has won a grand total of one game since Week 14 of the 2015 season. Yeah, we’re talking about a 1-33 record during that span.
At the very least, Haden joins most of us in feeling bad for Browns fans. It’s a really good fan base and most definitely doesn’t deserve the sadness we’ve seen from this mistake by the lake in recent decades.
