Braylon Edwards on Watching Titans-Colts: ‘I’ve Been Sitting Here in Agony’
Filed under: Browns, Cleveland
The Browns were in the odd position Sunday of having their own game basically mean nothing, and then having to wait until Sunday night to watch the Titans-Colts game and find out if their season was over or if they were going to the playoffs.
The Titans beat the Jim Sorgi-led Colts and clinched a playoff spot, and Browns wide receiver Braylon Edwards explained in a conversation with Peter King of SI.com how it felt to watch it:
“I’ve been sitting here in agony,” Edwards said, watching Andrea Kremer interview Kerry Collins, one of the heroes of the Tennessee playoff bid. “But it’s our fault. We played horrible in Cincinnati last week [losing 19-14] when our fate was in our hands. We didn’t take care of business, and so now we have to suffer because of it. …
“This is just the beginning,” Edwards said. “We’ll be back.”
Edwards, who had a great season, is right not to make excuses, as the Browns really did play horribly against Cincinnati. But he’s also right to say the Browns will be back. Sixteen weeks ago they looked like perhaps the worst team in the NFL, but now they look like a young, up-and-coming team that will be on the other side of the playoff ledger at this time next year.
