It used to be the weekend to be a “B.”
Three groups that had long previous via playoff droughts snapped them in NFL Wild-Card games over the weekend.
The Cleveland Browns carried out the trifecta on Sunday when they whomped the Pittsburgh Steelers, 48-37, at Heinz Enviornment.
The old playoff victory by Cleveland got right here on Jan. 1, 1995, when the Invoice Belichick-coached Browns defeated, yep, the New England Patriots, 20-13.
The gap between that victory and Jan. 10, 2021, used to be 9,506 days. Also, 26 years and 9 days
A day earlier, the Buccaneers and Funds broke free.
The closing time the Tampa Bay Buccaneers received a playoff sport ahead of Saturday, they had been taking the throne from Tom Brady and the New England Patriots as Huge Bowl champions.
That is how long it had been unless Brady led the Buccaneers to a stressful, 31-23 victory over the Washington Football Team in an NFC Wild-Card sport to complete a dry plug that had extended from Jan. 26, 2003.
The Bucs grew to develop into champs by beating the Raiders, 48-21, a yr after Brady and the Patriots downed the Rams for his first championship.
That might well well be 7,291 days or 19 years, 11 months, and 17 days.
That doesn’t come shut to the schneid the Buffalo Funds broke earlier in the day.
It had been 9,142 days between when the Funds downed the Miami Dolphins on Dec. 30, 1995, and Jan. 9, 2021, as Buffalo upended Indianapolis in an AFC Wild-Card sport.
Between the trio it used to be 25,939 days. And now it is 0.
Now all three groups ranking to abet a week or much less to look for if they are able to accept as true with postseason winning streaks.
