Mike Priefer made NFL history in January when he became the first acting head coach to ever lead a team to victory in a postseason game. The Browns special teams coach took the helm for Cleveland’s wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers due to head coach Kevin Stefanski being sidelined by COVID-19 protocols.
Now Priefer’s coaching ensemble from the epic win will forever be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton.
The Browns jacket Priefer wore and his headset from the game are now on display. The Pro Football Hall of Fame tweeted out a picture of the display.

Now if the selection committee can get Clay Matthews in there for his illustrious career, it would be even better.
