In the aftermath of the Cleveland Browns' 41-17 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, head coach Kevin Stefanski didn’t sugarcoat the defeat. His words cut through the usual postgame cliches, hitting at the root of why this game spiraled out of control.
“We gave them 21 points via a blocked punt, a fumble recovery and an interception,” Stefanski admitted postgame. “It’s hard to win. It’s hard to win, period, but it’s hard to win when you do that.”
That blunt assessment— acknowledging the Browns didn’t just lose, they handed the Ravens the game— was Stefanski saying the quiet part out loud.
