Could've, would've, should've, Coach.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Kevin Stefanski assumed the blame Monday for failing to tell Nick Chubb not to score his third and final touchdown in Sunday’s 31-30 epic collapse vs. the Jets, and for not communicating it to Jacoby Brissett in the headset.
Asked later in the presser to clarify if he had said anything to Brissett in the headset about not scoring there, he said, “I did not. So I do want to be clear on this one. I absolutely could have told him that in that situation.”Facing a first and 10 at the Jets 12 with 2:02 remaining and the Browns clinging to their 24-17 lead, Chubb rumbled 12 yards off left tackle, leaving cornerback D.J. Reed flailing on the ground in his wake.
The Browns would’ve gone 2-0 for the first time since 1993, and their fans would’ve gone home happy instead of erupting into a chorus of boos. As it was, it snapped a streak of 2,229 games where an NFL team won the game when leading by 13 in the final two minutes — dating back to 2001, according to ESPN Stats and Info. The last team to lose in that situation? The Browns, in an epic meltdown against the Bears in Week 9.
Joe Flacco , who won the game with two TD passes in the final 1:22 — including a 66-yarder to Davis and then the 15-yard gamewinner to former Buckeye Garrett Wilson with 22 seconds left — couldn’t believe his good fortune.Wilson, who caught his first two NFL TD passes Sunday against the Browns, remembers Saleh citing the windfall.It’s not like this has never happened in the Stefanski era.
