Nets star Kevin Durant reacts to Jets' epic comeback win over Browns

In a 31-30 win over the Browns in Cleveland in Week 2, the Jets overcame a 13-point deficit with a minute and 55 seconds remaining. It was the team's first September win since 2018. Of course, Twitter went crazy.

Nets star Kevin Durant expressed sympathy with Browns fans, who have endured a lot of losing over the past few decades.

I feel hurt watching that Cleveland game, tough L. GGz Jets

Others... not so much.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Hilarious collapse for the Browns.

Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving team.

Most simply marveled at the craziness of the historic comeback, the least probable win recorded by Next Gen Stat's win probability model.

I can’t believe the Jets won this game. Insane

I’m sorry … the #Jets did what?!

Of course, because many had already written the Jets off on social media, there was no shortage of clap backs and self-callouts.

What an idiot this guy is! #Jets https://t.co/78xYX3gphJ

Perhaps the most gratifying reaction for Jets fans was from Jets players themselves. After enduring so much losing over the past few years, positivity flowed.
