play

In what was likely his last start with the Cleveland Browns, quarterback Jacoby Brissett went out a winner.

He engineered the game-winning touchdown drive late in overtime, as theClevelandBrowns rallied to beat theTampa Bay Buccaneers, 23-17.

In the words of Tom Brady, that was awesome. Awesome.

In this week's edition of Cleveland's starter, DeshaunWatson will be taking over. The league's personal conduct policy states that sexual assault on a massage therapist is considered a violation of the policy. He had to undergo a mandatory treatment program.

After giving the Houston Texans three first-round picks to trade for Deshaun, the Cleveland Browns signed Brissett in free agency to be the fill-in starter. More than two dozen women have accused him of inappropriate sexual conduct during massage sessions.

The team went 4-7 during the games. He came into the weekend ranked sixth in the league in QBR.

His performance was his best.

In the final seconds of the fourth quarter, Cleveland faced a fourth-and- 10 from the 12-yard line. The tight end made a one-handed grab at the back of the end zone to tie the game.

"I was about to cry when I threw it, but I thought I threw it too high," he said. I wanted to kiss him even though he pulled it down.

The play in overtime was the defining one.

He found Cooper running down the sideline for a 45 yard touchdown. Nick Chubb scored the winning touchdown two plays later.

The quarterback finished the game with over 200 yards. He ran 17 yards. The game ball was given to the player by the coach.

"I'm happy for him, he's a great leader." He battled really hard. He did a great job.

It was important for the team to send Brissett out with a win. He said he will figure out how to help the team in the last six games. He said he was thankful for his chance to start this year.

He got the game ball in his last start. This was a great way to end it.
