Prior to Thursday night, the Cleveland Browns had not won a football match since Christmas Eve 2016, 635 days ago. How was it? At the time, Barack Obama was president and Rogue One: Star Wars Story was the new hot movie.
At first, things did not look very promising for the Browns. When starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor left the game with a concussion before half-time, the team lost 14-0.
But rookie Baker Mayfield, number 1 in the NFL draft in 2018, allowed his fans to get up. And it happened: The Browns beat the New York Jets 21-17, earning their first win in 19 games.
"STOP THE PRESSES! BROWN WIN BROWN WIN WIN WIN", tweeted CBS Sports. (Disclosure: CBS is the parent company of CNET.)
And there was a special advantage for Browns fans after the win. Bud Light had placed many locked coolers around the city, promising that once the Browns had that elusive win, they would be unlocked via the W-Fi for free drinks.
The drinks are on them, Clevelanders. A tweet from Bud Light sent right after the game read, "Cleveland, the Browns won.The refrigerators are open.Go celebrate with a Bud Light.You won it."
The Cleveland police were both excited for their team and mistrustful of the sudden flood of free liquor. After the match, the official report from the police department tweeted, "We won!" "Wait … Oh my God, free beer … Ok Cleveland, stay calm.
Fans quickly shared the video of the refrigerators that were finally opening. The riots did not seem to ensue.
An inside look: Bud Light is consumed, refrigerators are scared.

With the luck of the Browns, they probably lost the key and will not be able to unlock it anymore.

The Browns team's account is also amused by tweeting: "OPEN THESE FRIDGES BUD LIGHT!"

Although not everyone is a Bud Light drinker. "Congratulations Cleveland, your reward for your first win for almost 2 years is crappy beer," wrote a Twitter user.

Have not the people of Cleveland been successful enough? Now, you add a lightweight mass add – on lager in their rare moment of triumph. #cruel

The Browns have a chance to win on Sunday, September 30, when they face the Raiders. But if they win, fans will have to buy their own beer.
