Cleveland Browns: 5 Bold Predictions against undefeated Cardinals
Cleveland Browns Bold Prediction No. 1: Kevin Stefanski goes for broke…twice
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski has built up a ton of goodwill with the fans over the course of his short tenure in Cleveland. Winning 11 games in your first year tends to have that kind of effect on fans. This season, some of Stefanski’s in-game strategies have come under fire.
On three separate occasions, the Browns have been in position to score but walked away with zero points, instead turning the ball over on downs. On one hand, you could look at Stefanski’s decision to go all-in as the ultimate belief in his offense to convert those fourth downs. Or, because of the negative result, you could label his cavalier attitude as reckless and wasteful.
This week, coach Stefanski is going to lean into who he is as a coach and as a leader. He is going to double down and show his team, as well as the fanbase, that his philosophy is to not trade in touchdowns for field goals. Cleveland will find themselves in two separate fourth and short situations, and in both cases coach Stefanski is going to leave his offense on the field.
His belief in his men and their abilities will pay off this week, with the Browns going two for two in convert or turnover on down situations. Both of those drives will culminate in touchdowns, and just as he was second-guessed in the previous weeks, coach Stefanski will be celebrated for his moxie.
