Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski drew the ire of fans on Sunday when the team lost 31-29 to the Tennessee Titans.
Rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders brought the team within two points after throwing a touchdown pass to the tight end.

Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins took the snap in the shotgun and ran to his right. He was supposed to flip the ball to wide receiver Gage Larvadain. But he ran right past him and stopped only when it was too late. Judkins’ last attempt to throw the ball across the field was for naught.
Tennessee held on to win the game.
NFL fans on social media tore into Stefanski for the play call with the game on the line.
Sanders had an impressive showing in the loss. He was 23-of-42 with 364 passing yards, three touchdown passes and one rushing touchdown. A key interception by Sanders in the third quarter led to a Titans touchdown on Tennessee’s next drive.
