ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt had the perfect reaction to the Ravens-Browns bad beat

If you’re a bettor who had the Cleveland Browns at +3 or +3.5 on Monday night and watched as the team ended up with a jaw-dropping safety with no time on the clock in the loss to the Baltimore Ravens … oof, I’m so sorry.

That was one of the worst bad beats people have ever seen. The Ravens covered thanks to a 10 million lateral play that would normally end with a Browns player getting tackled or the ball going out of bounds or something.

But a safety? ARGH!!!

ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt — who has done a bad beats segment for a long, long time — had the best reaction to it:

What else can you do but shrug and smirk?

Yeah that’s definitely a #BadBeatMonday @notthefakeSVP @espn pic.twitter.com/vjQ5hZimS9

Here’s the play, in case you missed it:

🚨 BAD BEAT OF THE YEAR? 🚨

The Browns closed at +3 🤦‍♂️

Any Browns bettors out there? #MNF
