David Njoku celebrated the Browns’ second playoff berth in two years by shooting hoops with fans in the stadium parking lot. Njoku had a team-leading 134 yards but didn’t catch Joe Flacco’s three touchdowns. Video posted online showed Njoku hitting the ball with fans on a cold Cleveland night. “You don’t know how many moments like this you’re going to have. I’m going to remember this for the rest of my life,” Flacco said of the win.
Of course, Njoku’s season was impressive considering the injury he suffered early in the season. Njoku recently provided more details about the September campfire incident that left him with burns to “17 percent of his body.” Njoku said he likes to relax with a campfire in the backyard on Friday nights. However, after running out of his usual lighter fluid, he tried a new spray to keep the fire burning. However, the spray lingered in the air, causing an explosion in his back that caught Njoku off guard. Despite the injury, Njoku endured “severe pain” during his “individual” game against the Ravens two days later. Njoku has a career-high 882 yards and six touchdowns this season.
