Browns Special Teams Struggles Highlight Costly Loss to Steelers

Kadarius Toney and Dustin Hopkins face scrutiny after critical errors in Cleveland's 27-14 defeat in Pittsburgh.

  • Kadarius Toney's muffed punt and taunting penalty in the fourth quarter contributed to the Browns' inability to mount a comeback against the Steelers.
  • Kicker Dustin Hopkins missed two field goals, continuing a troubling trend with seven misses in his last 11 games.
  • Head coach Kevin Stefanski expressed disappointment in the team's lack of discipline but reiterated support for Hopkins as the starting kicker.
  • Toney, a former first-round pick, showed flashes of potential in the return game but now faces uncertainty about his role moving forward.
  • The Browns' special teams issues come as they prepare to host the Kansas City Chiefs next week, with Toney's former team presenting a challenging matchup.
