The weather wreaked havoc on the field last Sunday, and it apparently made travel quite hazardous as well.


Cleveland Browns guard Jason Pinkston said the team is “lucky to be alive” following a “terrifying” plane ride from Cincinnati to Cleveland after the Browns’ 41-20 loss to the Bengals.

As result of heavy rain and 50 mph winds, the Browns made plans to bus home after the game against the Bengals. But they boarded a plane when it was determined that it was safe to make the 45-minute trip home.

“It was terrifying,” Pinkston said of the flight to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “It was the real thing. The weather was so bad. We were coming in to land and [the pilot] had to go kind of fast to balance it out and we came down and we hit on two wheels. The [left] wing was literally three feet from hitting the ground.

“We’re actually pretty lucky to be alive right now, to be honest. We really escaped one. We got away with one last night.
