CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Andrew Hawkins' son has a new favorite football player -- his father.

A few weeks ago, that wasn't the case. In an Instagram video that went viral a few weeks ago, Hawkins' two-year-old son Austin told his father that "Sanu and A.J." were his favorite players, referring to Mohamed Sanu and A.J. Green of the Bengals, Hawkins' former teammates. The response led to Hawkins jokingly kicking his son out of the house.

But everything has changed after the Browns stomped the Bengals last night, 24-3, and took a share of first place in the AFC North.

Little Austin has a new team to root for and he's allowed back in the house.
