Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders wasn't on the field for the game-tying two-point try attempt.
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski didn't have QB Shedeur Sanders on the field for the game-tying two-point attempt against the Tennessee Titans
It was a controversial move since Sanders had a terrific game.
Without Sanders, the Browns failed to convert the two-point conversion and lost 31-29.
After the game, Sanders spoke about not being on the field for the two-point attempt.
"If I'm out there any play, I wish I would always have the ball in my hand," Sanders said. "But that's not what football is. ... In any situation, of course you want to, but I know we practiced something and we executed it in practice, and we just didn't seem to this day. So, I would never go against kind of what the call was or anything.
"We practice for situations, we do everything, and if they knew it would pan out like that, I don't think they would've did it. I don't think in any situation, if we feel like something's not going to be as successful and intentionally call it and just be surprised if it don't work. I think that's the whole league, any play you go into a game with, you expect success. And if that don't happen, that don't happen."
Sanders had his best game as a pro against the Titans. He went 23-42 through the air for 364 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. The Colorado product also had 29 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown.
Sanders is the first Browns QB with three passing touchdowns and a rushing TD in a game since Derek Anderson in Week 6 of the 2007 season.
"He fought throughout the game, which we knew he would," Stefanski said of Sanders. "Obviously, with any young player there's going to be ups and downs, and I thought there were some really, really, really good moments. He'll keep learning from some of the plays that he wants back, but some really good moments."
The Browns may have to fire Stefanski this offseason. He's clearly hindering the development of Sanders, who has 769 passing yards and five passing touchdowns in only four games.
