Shedeur Sanders Shines, Browns Lose 31–29 After Controversial 2-Point Call

The defeat ended Cleveland’s playoff hopes, intensifying scrutiny of Kevin Stefanski’s late two-point decision.

Overview

  • Rookie Shedeur Sanders went 23-of-42 for 364 yards with three passing touchdowns and a rushing score, becoming the first Browns QB since 1950 to post 300+ yards, 3+ TDs and a rush TD in one game.
  • Cleveland failed on two late two-point tries, with the final attempt a wildcat snap without Sanders on the field; Kevin Stefanski said, “I’m responsible for all of it.”
  • The loss dropped the Browns to 3-10 and officially eliminated them from playoff contention.
  • Tennessee moved to 2-11 behind Tony Pollard’s 161 rushing yards, including a 65-yard touchdown, and a blocked punt that set up a field goal.
  • Myles Garrett logged his 20th sack of the season as he continues his pursuit of the single-season record.
