Overview
- The Browns fell 27-20 to the Jets in New York in a game defined by self-inflicted mistakes.
- Cleveland committed 10 penalties and surrendered two special-teams touchdowns, undercutting multiple comeback chances.
- With the Jets facing fourth-and-5 late, defensive end Cam Thomas jumped offside before the snap, leading to a conversion and kneel-downs to end the game.
- Garrett said the loss was not on Thomas, calling the moment a lesson and urging the teammate not to let one play erode his confidence.
- He pointed to kicker Andre Szmyt’s early-season miss and later rebound as an example of recovery and said the team must move forward with no quit and eight games still on the schedule.
