This game single handedly put Peyton Hillis on the cover of Madden

He was the 1st white 1000 yard rusher in the nfl for 25 years

ah yes, the good old times when you were *ALLOWED* to sack Tom Brady

I forgot about this game! Imagine if Hillis had a full career, he'd have crazy stats

Peyton Hillis prolly the most interesting Madden Cover winner

Upset of the century

You know Belichick absolutely HATED to lose this to Mangini, who used to be Belichick’s best friend until he went to the Jets and reported Bill for Spygate. Mangini ruined himself with that move, Belichick had said he would recommend Mangini for any head coaching job except for the Jets yet Mangini didn’t listen, and when he inevitably failed he had burned all his bridges. It was a ridiculous hire for Cleveland, very much like the Jets years later hiring Adam Gase, but for Mangini at least he had this one game on Bill before getting canned. Meanwhile his former colleagues Scott Pioli, Romeo Crennel, and Matt Cassel were busy taking a very average Chiefs team to the playoffs the same year; that eventually fell apart too the very next year but at least they hadn’t burned all their bridges like Mangini. That’s why the Mangenius is on FS1 instead of coaching in the NFL…

The greatest one-year wonder in NFL history. If Hillis didn't get greedy with his contract in the ensuing years, he would've been a star with the Browns for many years to come. Nevertheless, his career burned out and he was out of the league in just a few years. 😞😞😞

I was stunned when the score of this one kept scrolling at the bottom of my tv.

Man I really forgot about this game , but this was an absolute stunner just unbelievable

12:12 A young Brian Daboll for you keen eyed individuals

Nobody going to mention that's Colt McCoy from University of Texas looking sharp vs the Patriots

Aaron Hernandez showed a real killer instinct in this game.

The most shocking upset of all time is the Giants in the Super Bowl

Straight out of Arkansas. Him Darren McFadden and Felix jones who both went 1st round same draft both rb and Hillis fb unstoppable running offense

12:40 eric mangini has the biggest dab of all time in there lmfao

Pretty sure BB told hillis after the game that was one of the best rushing performances he’s ever seen

If Hernandez wasn’t a murderer POS, him and gronk would’ve been the best 1-2 TE combo in the history of the nfl for sure

Only a true patriots fans remembers Hernandez scored the only two TDs of the game for us.

Back when Bill Macatee called NFL games for CBS, known primarily as one of the main golf announcers during the Tiger Woods era

Patriots: Real Madrid! Browns: Tottenham Hotspur!

Brady was insane this season tho statistically to win his second MVP

Conway Arkansas’s finest Peyton Hillis 💪🏼

I definitely liked these uniforms for the browns more than the current ones the helmets is slightly a lighter orange and the grey face mask is better than the brown ones

Look at bill going up to hillis at the end

I remember this 😢

Too bad Hillis got sick/hurt and tried to sit the rest of the year out for a bigger contract but never got it and never really played after this season

When I heard "Touchdown Hernandez" I said this game is old old 😐

I remember watching this at my friend Kenny's house just partying and may he rest In peace If he is reading this upstairs

Josh Cribbs laying out the leather at the 8:00 mark

12:10 Young, fired up Brian Daboll.

Most Epic beat down ever! 👍👍

Dang such an amazing upset it got reposted!

Went to the preseason game rams @ browns that year believe it was Hillis's debut with browns! It freaking poured almost the whole game!

Aron Hernandez what a legend

The Great White Rhino (haha) Dude was a beast.

The Browns haven't beaten New England since this game. What do you know...

10:38 Aaron Hernandez again

The Greatest Madden Cover Ever

Man I'll never forget watching this game! me and all the guys got to our buddies house & set up shop on his back patio! Brought the flat screen outside, had the grill going!! Our whole friend group was coming in and out, people I haven't seen in forever showed up! Beers were flowing! Footballs were being tossed around! Was such a fun day being a Browns fan! Most of us also took off work the next day so we continued to party into the evening~ What a fun season that was.

12:12 young Brian Daboll

The Patriots went into this game expecting to just walk through the Browns...They took them for granted, and got that ass whooped!!!

Hillis was great but how about Colt McCoy?

Definitely was one of those fluke games where the Patriots just weren’t clicking. You know it’s going to be a long day for the Pats when their special teams screws up.

I remember during the late 2010's many people had no idea about this upset and kept discovering this game via the ticker in other games that same Sunday Also BTW that year the Patriots only lost *twice* during the regular season

I remember this, the time when the dawg pound upset the league MVP winner Tom Brady and the Patriots

Then New England never lost another until the Jets embarrassed them in the divisional round

NFL Throwback 🏈 Got The Greatest Classic Football Games In The World 🌎

Whn belichick seeks u out to let u knw that u impressed him....well... im speechless.

Just thought of it. When a 3rd round QB with a 7th round RB beats a 6th round QB with an undrafted RB. These games are what I miss, and just won't see anymore in today's NFL.

No game epitomizes "any given Sunday" quite like this one

Hernandez really killed it in this game

We trucked those guys

12:10 Brian Daboll

Man when I tell u we all was drinking the colt mccoy juice in Cleveland after this game

The phrase Any Given Sunday is true to this! But this game made the Browns look like a SB contender for a week.

Once i saw 2010, week 9. i knew it was a great game for the browns

The first of Tom Brady's two career losses against the Browns. I was there on both occasions.

Now: G.O.A.T. loses a blowout to the Browns 😂😂😂 12 years later: G.O.A.T. loses to the browns in OT 😂😂😂

Great performance and game

Could anyone tell me the play by play guys name? I feel like I never hear him anymore

Imo this was the best pats team other than 2007 and (maybe?) 2004. The offense was prolly better than the 07’ team

this game is a trip down memory lane to when aaron hernandez was still alive

Love my Browns

4:23 AARON HERNANDEZ

Peyton Hillis recently almost died a few months back trying to save his niece and son from a riptide in the ocean, he got the back then had to be revived I think

Could’ve been an even better mike alstott

This is what happens when one team shows up for a paycheck, but the other one comes to play

Hillis was big, fast and deceptive. How long did he play??

This Browns team didn’t have much talent but they had a lot of heart and discipline. I wish we had Eric Mangini as a coach now.

Browns- 34 Murderers- 14

0:13 Am I the only one who thinks that Cleveland Brown fan in the dog mask is horrifying? 😅

# 47 is Lawrence Vickers . He was a TE that was the main reason Hillis had a great hole to run through . In 2011 they traded him to Dallas and the hole disappeared as did Peyton's production . It was still fun to watch . Chubb is so much better but the coach is an idiot .

U know this game is bad news bears when patriots first td is to a murderer

Peyton Hillis being the madden cover athlete in Madden 12 would be like Jonathan Taylor being on the cover of Madden 23. He had a great year but the odds of him getting picked over any of the star QBs is astronomical. Adrian Peterson didn’t even get to be on the cover of Madden 25 after his 2000 yard season. That just gives you an idea of how incredible this season was for Hillis. Although something that probably helped his case was the Patriots shockingly going one and done to the Sanchize in the playoffs after a 14-2 season in which Brady was named the unanimous NFL MVP. If they go to a super bowl that year, Hillis has no chance of being on the cover.

Is this the game when Wes Welker kicked that field goal?

Brian Hoyer is the only person on the Patriots in this game that is a Patriot this year.

Back when folks didn’t think Brady would ever win another Super Bowl title. …….except me of course.

The browns had 2 of the best weeks in a row during an otherwise shitty season. I think before or after this game they also blew out the Saints in New Orleans which is saying something.

12 Years Ago

Imagine Chubb and Peyton 1-2 punch

Hi

And I'm sure most fans will be thinking as they're watching this something dumb like, "Well, at least the Browns got Brady one time..." 🙄 🤦 Gosh how I loathe Tom Brady.. I'm a lifelong Browns fan, and I get absolutely nothing out of watching stuff like this.. Okay, so we beat him once, BIG WHOOP.. I would've liked to beat him 30 more times! 😠

Ah the last time the browns vs pats was a good game Every browns vs pats game is usually a fuckfest

Ah yes back when you were ALLOWED to sack to tom

💥💥 I'm not a browns fan but I still got my Madden 12 with hillis on the cover for my black Xbox 360 that I still have. Madden 12 was the last Madden that I bought. All the Madden aftter Madden 12 are pure garbage.

Don't get too ahead of yourselves clowns. Hillis was never the same again, because of the madden cover curse, and you went back to basement after this game

These has to be the worst commentators ever

Now it's now the pats are horrible and the browns are good

This dude is a bust only one good season.

Hot take: Tom Brady was overrated in 2010 and is better now
