Watch: Cleveland Browns’ bettors take mind-blowing bad beat

A 45-42 lead became a 47-42 final on the last play of the game and it cost people who wagered on the Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns fans and backers knew the loss was the worst that could happen, right. They trailed 45-42 Monday after Justin Tucker’s field goal for the Baltimore Ravens.

At least they had a push with two seconds left because the Browns were getting three points coming into the game.

So, a loss on the field and a push when it came to bets, right?

Wrong. Dead, freaking wrong.

In what has to be the cruelest betting loss in forever, the Cleveland Browns attempted the hook-and-lateral and lateral and lateral and lateral and the ball kept in the wrong direction.

Cleveland kept throwing backward passes, laterals, whatever. And then the people who had the three points and the home team suddenly had their hearts in their throats.

It wouldn’t happen. It shouldn’t happen. Oh, yeah, it did.

The laterals wound up going out the back of the end zone and suddenly, a 45-42 final score turned into Baltimore 47, Cleveland 42.

1 play, -25 yards, 0:02

47-42

And the cruelest defeat had turned into double trouble for Browns fans who put their money where their hearts were.

The last two points came after the Browns attempted a zillion laterals and were nailed for a safety when the ball went out of the end zone.

It was an astonishing game that saw 9 rushing touchdowns and 33 points scored in the final quarter, including 20 points in the last 1:51.

Jets’ Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee Pierre Desir is a Baltimore Raven

Pierre Desir is on the Baltimore Ravens after being cut by the Jets, who made him their Walter Payton Man of the Year nominee

When you are 0-12. nothing — and we mean nothing — should surprise you.

The New York Jets make wrong call after wrong call. On Thursday, the NFL revealed its Walter Payton Man of the Year Award nominees. And when the name for the Jets’ person was revealed, it was a player who is no longer on the team.

Yes, the Jets’ nominee for the prestigious honor is no longer a New York Jet. Pierre Desir was cut in November. He does still lead Gang Green in picks.

Desir currently plays for the Baltimore Ravens. A Jets spokesman said Desir was nominated prior to his release, and “his tremendous work in the anti-bullying space earned him our nomination.”

A native of Haiti, Desir donated $185,000 to build a performance center at the high school he attended in St. Charles, Missouri, among his other charitable participation.

In classic Jets fashion, the nomination was ignored on the team’s website.

Each nominee receives a donation of $40,000 to the charity of his choosing, with the winner earning a $250,000 charitable donation in his name. The winner will be revealed during the league’s award show, NFL Honors, the night before Super Bowl LV.
