CLEVELAND — Victory Monday has never been this sweet, especially when it means that one of Cleveland's biggest trolls has to eat crow.
Colin Cowherd has been known for his "rivalry" with Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield in the past, and last week was no different.
Cowherd said on Jan. 4 that Pittsburgh was going to roll on Cleveland and that the game would be a tire fire for the Browns.
"Cleveland at Pittsburgh has potential to be a tire fire. The Steelers are going to roll."

His argument was that Cleveland barely beat a Steelers team who sat their four starters.
Which is fair, but he also forgot to mention that the Browns were playing with a depleted secondary with players such as cornerback Denzel Ward being deemed out.
Then on Friday, Cowherd was clearly grasping at straws for content when he said that Mayfield wearing his hat backward screamed playoff loss.
Baker Mayfield wore his hat backwards. Bad news for the Browns' QB:

Mayfield was the one who was able to get in the last laugh when he subtly trolled Cowherd in his post-game press conference.

After seeing Mayfield's response, Cowherd did, in fact, eat crow.
"You won this weekend, Baker... You deserve the credit and played great. Congratulations." — @ColinCowherd pic.twitter.com/CoagfQremf

Cowherd can continue trolling the Browns, it just makes Victory Monday that much sweeter.
