The Cleveland Browns have clinched a spot in the playoffs, which has caused pandemonium among athletes across the country. Following the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Odell Beckham Jr., LeBron James, and CJ McCollum all reacted to the Browns making the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
Beckham is fired up:
Innn there !!!! Go to work dawgsss

Of course, Beckham suffered a season-ending knee injury back in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals. However, the superstar wide receiver has remained supportive of the Browns by continuing to show excitement on social media every week.
On the other hand, James still finds time to root for the Browns even though he now plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. While James did shout out Cleveland for getting into the postseason, he doesn't want them to be content with just making it:
Playoff bound! Congrats @Browns!! Yessir!!!! Don’t be satisfied though! #Browns
— LeBron James (@KingJames) January 3, 2021
Besides James, McCollum is an avid fan of the Browns, enduring years of hardship with his favorite football team. McCollum took time to thank Cleveland for finally ending the longtime streak of missing out on the playoffs:
Playoffs 🙂 #browns #DawgPound @Browns . Thank ya 🙌🏾

The Browns entered Sunday with a chance to clinch a playoff spot by defeating the Steelers. Despite a late-game score by Pittsburgh, Cleveland's defense stopped them on a two-point conversion to seal their 11th victory of the season.
The last time the Browns made the playoffs, Kelly Holcomb started at quarterback against the Steelers in a 36-33 loss. The last Browns playoff victory came in the 1994 season.
Despite the distractions that they experienced in recent weeks, the Browns took care of business and have finally made it back to the playoffs to the delight of multiple athletes.
