On Thursday night the Cleveland Browns and their fans celebrated clinching their third playoff birth this century, while the New York Jets added another ugly chapter to the disappointing novel that was their 2023 season. And NFL fans on X had some hilarious responses to both situations.
This week’s edition of Thursday Night Football offered a rare opportunity for the Browns. With a win, they would move their record this season to 11-5 and they would clinch just their third trip to the NFL Playoffs in the 21st century.

When they got off to a 34-10 halftime lead over the lowly Jets, things quickly became a countdown to the celebration they didn’t get in 2020 when fans were not allowed to attend games due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, Cleveland will be rocking as the Browns are officially among the best teams in the sport again.
Unfortunately for the Jets, Thursday night was a very different story as their loss clinched their eighth double-digit losing season since 2012. What made it all the worse is they were scorched by former quarterback Joe Flacco. A player they refused to call this season despite desperately needing a competent QB to replace Aaron Rodgers when he went down with a season-ending injury.
With the result of the game was clear by the third quarter, NFL fans on X had some free time to bash the continued incompetence of the New York Jets this season, while also celebrating a major achievement for the Cleveland Browns to end 2023.
