Misery Index · Miserable
Browns fans accusing the staff of tanking, then realizing the tank job didn't even secure the No. 1 pick.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
S.Sanders flashed the upside in the J.Jeudy 60-yard strike, then gave it all back with a pick-six setup to X.Woods and a D.Sampson fumble that handed Tennessee the field. T.Pollard's 65-yard and 32-yard touchdown runs meant the defense was cooked before halftime, and Q.Judkins' failed two-point pass to G.Larvadain sealed a two-point loss. The quarterback question got louder, the coaching seat got hotter, and somehow the draft slot didn't even improve.
