The Cleveland Browns were in a close battle with the Tennessee Titans down the stretch of the fourth quarter, as it was the battle of the rookie quarterbacks, Shedeur Sanders and Cam Ward. Sanders had just thrown a touchdown pass to close the gap for the Browns, and all they needed was to get the two-point conversion.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski elected to take Shedeur Sanders out of the play and tried to run a trick play that failed terribly, and the Browns lost. Of course, after the play, Browns fans had nothing positive to say about Stefanski and his playcalling.

“Stefanski pulled the player with 4 touchdowns and 394 yards of offense at the most critical point in the game???,” one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

“First Kevin , your star qb has 4 tds 400 yards and one u didn’t kick the EP the first time , now this? This is a f—— crazy,” a second user wrote.

“They keep taking him out at critical times This coach hates him more than he wants to win. This team is putrid,” a third user wrote.

It's safe to say, fans are upset.

Sanders was having a good game for the Browns as well, so it's uncertain why Stefanski would get so bold and make a move like that. There have been talks over the past few weeks that he could be on the hot seat, and it may be a good time for him to move on so the Browns can reset. Stefanski has had some good moments throughout his career, but the past few seasons have not been kind to him.

He's had to navigate multiple quarterbacks this season, but there have also been times when his playcalling has come into question, similar to today. It will be interesting to see if the Browns go in a different direction after the season.
