To the surprise of Browns fans, former Browns kicker Phil Dawson
energized the crowd when he emerged from the Dawg Pound tunnel on Sunday at
Cleveland Browns Stadium. The crowd cheered as Dawson took out the guitar
decorated in the colors of his former team, the 49ers, from its case and
smashed it against the amp.
He
was hinted at being in the building by the Browns when he made it on the Browns
vs. 49ers pre-game comic poster. The Browns and 49ers fans in the building gave
him a standing ovation.
Dawson played for Cleveland from
1999-2012 and San Francisco for four years from 2013-16. He played in over 300
NFL games and made 441 career field goals over his career.
Dawson retired after the 2018 season with an 84 percent career field goal
success rate.
