The roster has been impacted by several injuries, making the Browns’ season anything but easy. Cleveland lost numerous offensive line and defensive players, as well as its best quarterback and running back. Nevertheless, the Browns cruised into the postseason with 11 victories, solidifying head coach Kevin Stefanski’s candidacy for Coach of the Year.
When the Browns’ quarterback situation grew shaky, their defense came through for them, but now that veteran Joe Flacco is starting at quarterback, the offense appears to be just as powerful heading into the playoffs.
The Browns also have some extra motivation to win big this season, and they’re wearing it on their chests.
The significance of the Browns’ No. 32 jersey patch is explained here. Here’s all you need to know about it.
Legend Jim Brown of the Browns, who passed away in May, is honored with the No. 32 patch.
Brown’s jersey number is displayed in white on the patch, while his signature is located just below in orange. After wearing the patch the regular season, the Browns were seen wearing it in their playoff game against the Texans.
Before the Browns’ September season opener, Chubb ran out of the tunnel with a flag that had the same decal as Brown’s patch as a way to honor the player.
Jim Brown, who was he?
After spending his entire nine-year career with the Browns and winning three MVP awards, Brown is regarded as one of the all-time best running backs.
Despite having a very brief career, Brown led the NFL in rushing in eight of his nine seasons, was selected to the All-Pro team eight times, and accumulated 12,312 yards. Despite having just 14 games in an NFL season during his career, he ran for more than 1,400 yards in four different seasons.
Brown only played nine seasons, but he still has the 11th-most rushing yards in NFL history. When Bears great Walter Payton broke the record in 1984, he still held the record by a significant margin.
Following his playing career, Brown participated in theater and was a well-known civil rights activist.
On May 18, 2023, the legendary Syracuse player passed away at home, inspiring remembrances throughout the NFL and beyond.
