Last month, the NFL announced it would offer free access to its Game Pass platform. That means fans can watch ANY game dating back to 2009.
Over the next few weeks, we'll be highlighting some of the most re-watchable Browns games -- for a variety of reasons -- on the list. Today, we're going back nine years to 2011, when Colt McCoy and Mohamed Massaquoi connected for a memorable ending against Miami.
Who: Browns vs. Dolphins
When: Week 3, Sept. 25, 2011
The Stakes: Cleveland came in with a 1-1 record following a 27-19 victory at Indianapolis. The Dolphins were 0-2 following double-digit losses to the Patriots and Texans.
What happened: Trailing the entire game, the Browns rallied in unexpected fashion with an 80-yard drive in the final minutes to escape with the victory. Colt McCoy's 14-yard touchdown pass to Mohamed Massaquoi with 43 seconds to play gave the Browns the 17-16 victory.
It was over when …: Mike Adams intercepted a Chad Henne pass intended for Brandon Marshall with 13 seconds to play, setting up the Browns for two kneel downs and sealing the win.
They said it, Part 1: "We played like garbage for the most part of the day. As ugly as it was, it was a huge win for us." -- McCoy
Colt McCoy leads the Browns 80 yards down the field for the game-winning touchdown with 43 seconds to play, sending Cleveland to a 17-16 victory and a 2-1 start to the season.

How ugly was it?: Before the game-winning drive, McCoy had completed just 10-of-26 passes for 130 yards. The Browns had two three-and-outs, another drive that lasted just four plays, five punts and an interception. Josh Cribbs was the only wide receiver with a reception before the final drive.
The drive: McCoy completed his first five passes on the final possession, which started with 3:23 to play and the Browns trailing, 16-10. The biggest play before the touchdown came on fourth-and-4 at Miami's 37. McCoy found Montario Hardesty with a short pass the running back was able to take for 10 yards to extend the drive. Five plays later, McCoy found Massaquoi in the corner of the end zone for the game-tying touchdown. Phil Dawson made the extra point to put Cleveland ahead for good.
Sweaty palms: The game was far from over when Massaquoi caught the touchdown. For one, he and Ben Watson were flagged for excessive celebration, which forced the Browns to kick off from their own 20-yard line. Then, on the return, Dimitri Patterson was penalized for a horse collar tackle. That gave Miami the ball at Cleveland's 47-yard line to start the drive with 36 seconds to play.
No fatigue: It wasn't hot (70 degrees) but it was humid (72 percent), and the Browns' defense didn't wilt despite being on the field for more than 21 minutes in the first half and 37 for the game.
They said it, Part 2: "The defense was the reason we won." -- McCoy
Unsung hero: Cribbs was limited enough by a groin injury to keep him from returning punts and kicks. Still, he led all Browns wide receivers with three catches for 49 yards, including a 33-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter.
