Kevin Stefanski Takes Responsibility for Failed Two-Point Conversion Attempt
In a recent game, the Cleveland Browns faced the Tennessee Titans, struggling to secure a late-game tie. The Browns made a concerted effort, scoring on a touchdown pass from Shedeur Sanders to Harold Fannin, bringing the score to 31-29. However, the decision to pursue a two-point conversion proved unsuccessful, prompting head coach Kevin Stefanski to take full responsibility.
Failed Two-Point Conversion Attempt
The Browns lined up in a Wildcat formation for the two-point conversion. Running back Quinshon Judkins took the snap with the intention to pass to wide receiver Gage Larvadain. Unfortunately, the execution faltered when Judkins mishandled the ball, leading to a last-minute incompletion aimed at Larvadain.
Coach’s Accountability
During the post-game press conference, Kevin Stefanski addressed the failed play. He admitted he had planned the Wildcat play during the scoring drive. “It obviously did not go as we thought it would,” he stated. When questioned about the decision-making, Stefanski emphasized, “I make every call. I’m responsible for all of it.”
Previous Two-Point Attempt
This wasn’t the Browns’ first attempt at a two-point conversion in the game. Earlier efforts also fell flat when Sanders lost the ball during a snap. Stefanski clarified that this earlier failure did not influence his decision for the final two-point attempt.
Impact on Playoff Contention
The unsuccessful conversion ultimately led to a loss, marking a significant setback for the Browns. This defeat officially eliminated the team from playoff contention, a disappointment for Stefanski, marking the fourth time in six seasons he has faced this outcome in Cleveland.
