Recapping NFL Honors as Browns go 4-for-4 on the night

The Cleveland Browns, highlighted by Myles Garrett and Kevin Stefanski, swept up all of the NFL Honors.

What a night it was for the Browns and their fans as their magical season saw injury after injury decimate their roster. Despite every ounce of adversity faced, the Browns finished the season with 11 wins, clinching a playoff berth for the first time since 2020.

While the season did not end as they had hoped that it would, the Browns’ year did not go unnoticed around the league by players, coaches, and AP voters. The results of those AP votes were revealed on Thursday night, and it could not have gone any better for those watching from Northeast Ohio.

They entered the evening with four players and coaches up for awards and left with all four of those personnel taking home hardware. Here is a recap of the NFL Honors festivities in Las Vegas on Thursday night.

DE Myles Garrett wins NFL Defensive Player of the Year

Myles Garrett edged out T.J. Watt of the Pittsburgh Steelers to win his first Defensive Player of the Year award, and Steelers fans sure took the news well.

HC Kevin Stefanski wins NFL Coach of the Year

For the second time in four years, Kevin Stefanski is the NFL Coach of the Year after leading the Browns to an 11-win season with five different quarterbacks and 26 percent of the team’s salary on Injured Reserve.

DC Jim Schwartz wins NFL Assistant Coach of the Year

In a bit of a shocker, defensive coordinator was named NFL Assistant Coach of the Year over the likes of Ben Johnson of the Detroit Lions and Mike MacDonald of the Baltimore Ravens.

QB Joe Flacco wins NFL Comeback Player of the Year

While it looked unlikely that anyone but Damar Hamlin would win NFL Comeback Player of the Year, Joe Flacco pulled it out after leading the Browns to a 4-1 record, setting franchise records along the way.
