CLEVELAND (AP) — In a surreal moment seemingly clipped from a Disney movie, Joe Flacco stood on the field and posed for a family photo with his wife, Dana, and their five children as delirious Browns fans serenaded them with chants of “M-V-P, M-V-P.”Welcome to Cleveland.Or in Flacco’s case, Dreamland.Another chapter was added to the NFL’s most improbable story of 2023 Thursday night when Flacco, who stayed in shape in the offseason by throwing passes to his brother, Tom, in New Jersey while waiting — and wondering — if a team would call, led the Browns into the playoffs for just the third time since 1999.That’s right, with a 37-20 win over the New York Jets, the Browns (11-5) clinched a postseason spot while riding the rifle arm of a 38-year-old quarterback who spent most of his career beating them with rival Baltimore.This wasn’t in the script, so to speak. But then again, little has gone as planned in Cleveland this season.The Browns haven’t let signi...

The measure — HB 23B-1002 — doubled how much of the federal income tax credit low-income families can claim on their state ...
