I give credit where credit's due - to Andy Reid who went into that game with the right plan - stop the Brown's run game. They did a solid job, and it also didn't help when the Brown's O-line lost Wills early. BIG loss there. I thought Stefanski made some adjustmens at halftime, and it showed. But other then Mayfield's INT, that resulted in a missed FG, Mayfield was moving the team in the 2nd half. They were shooting themselves in the foot, but he wasn't the culprit IMO. And one of the biggest culprits for the Bowns all year has been their secondary.
I don't understand where they say he's one of the very worse performing QBs under pressure? He's had a far better year this year then last, but even at the conclusion of the '19 season, behind of the NFL's worst offensive lines, there were a lot of other starting QBs that performed worse them him under pressure ....

IMO, he is turning the corner and showing maturity, better decision-making with the ball. This kid has had how many different HCs, along with coaching staff and playbook to learn, in the three short years he's been here? And this is also Stefanski's rookie season as a HC. We've come a long way from 0-16.
I think Stefanski didn't call a good game in the 4th quarter. Chubb was having a rough day, they were keying on him, and when he did put a fresh Hunt in there he was being more effective. But he stopped it, and went back with Chubb. I know Chubb was the one who got you there, but again, in this game - adapt. And he certainly didn't manage his TOs and clock well in the 4Q. My biggest beef was with the defensive coordinator and some of the lop-sided lineups and schemes he was utilizing.
But the Browns had opportunities and simply did not take advantage. But it didn't help matters with the refs screwing them on that non-call for targeting and helmet-to-helmet hit at the goal line on Higgins. And they did review it because it was a goal line play ... and still missed it! Even the lead review guy in NY called it.
Browns are in a touch division. How can any Brown fan not be excited at their performance this season? Address you secondary, and get LBer help for Garrett.
