Browns’ Jerry Jeudy Under Fire After Costly Drop in 34-10 Loss to Lions

Coach Kevin Stefanski reaffirmed Jeudy as the Browns’ top receiver following the 34-10 loss in Detroit.

Overview

  • With 14:03 left in the fourth quarter, Jeudy dropped a sideline pass that likely would have moved the chains, and the ensuing punt was returned 65 yards for a Lions touchdown.
  • Jeudy owned the mistake in an expletive-laced postgame session, saying he "has to make those" plays.
  • Through four games, he has 13 catches for 182 yards on 30 targets with no touchdowns, and Pro Football Focus had already credited him with three drops entering Week 4.
  • Local radio host Anthony Lima blasted Jeudy’s reliability, while Kevin Stefanski called him a leader and "our best wide receiver" who will keep making plays.
  • Injuries to Cedric Tillman (hamstring) and DeAndre Carter (knee) will sideline both for weeks as the 1-3 Browns average 13.3 points and face questions at quarterback that Stefanski says are not the team’s focus.
