Last night, Braylon Edwards dropped a wide open bomb from QB Mark Sanchez that likely would have gone for a touchdown. If you are like me and don’t get the NFL Network, you might not have seen it yet.
Browns fans, this will look oh-so-familiar. (Video after jump.)
After the game, Braylon immediately took to Twitter to offer up an excuse for his drop:
Great team win. Note to self “the lights in Rogers center arena are extremely bright” man I didn’t see that first bomb.

In Braylon’s defense, he did later catch a TD pass that helped power the Jets to victory.
As far as I’m concerned, Braylon can offer up as many lame excuses for dropping the pass as he wants, but as everyone who followed him in Cleveland knows: that’s what he does.
So yes, a nice team win for Braylon and the Jets, and Braylon continued his habit of only showing up for Primetime games (two of his three TDs with the Jets have come during Primetime affairs).
Despite the win, you have to wonder if the Jets are disappointed in what they’ve gotten out of Braylon so far. He as two one-catch games among his eight with the team and has not yet equaled his five-catch performance in his first game after being traded.
Regardless, I’m just happy that, as Browns fan, I don’t have to watch Braylon drop sure-fire touchdowns like the one in the video above. Nope, we have plenty of other guys fully capable of dropping passes now.
It’s really almost too bad Braylon was traded. His butter fingers and the Browns’ offensive ineptitude really were a perfect match.
