Overview
- Rookie Shedeur Sanders threw for 364 yards with three touchdowns and one interception and added a rushing score, becoming the first Browns QB since 1950 to post 300+ pass yards, 3+ pass TDs and a rushing TD in one game.
- Cleveland failed on two two-point tries, including a wildcat call with RB Quinshon Judkins taking a direct snap on the final attempt as Sanders remained on the sideline.
- Kevin Stefanski said "I'm responsible for all of it" and indicated the decisive two-point play was preplanned even though offensive coordinator Tommy Rees handles play-calling.
- Tennessee leaned on Tony Pollard’s 161 rushing yards, including a 65-yard TD, and capitalized on a Browns interception, a fumble and a blocked punt that set up a field goal.
- Cleveland dropped to 3-10 and was officially knocked out of postseason contention, with a Week 15 trip to Chicago up next.
