Carlos Hyde experienced two miracles in about a 12-hour span.
First, the former Buckeye running back helped snap a 635-day winless streak on Thursday night, as the Cleveland Browns defeated the New York Jets 31-27. That, alone, was enough reason to celebrate until the wee hours.
But on Friday morning, Hyde experienced another miracle. One that’s a little more important than winning a football game.
Hyde’s girlfriend gave birth to a baby boy. The Cleveland running back tweeted out the announcement Friday around 9:30 a.m.

Talk about an emotional and thrilling 24 hours.
