Browns ripped for horrible clock management to end first half (Video)
The Cleveland Browns continue to find new and hilarious ways to fail.
The Browns elected to run a quarterback sneak with DeShone Kizer with 15 seconds remaining in the first half and the team down a touchdown to the Detroit Lions. Kizer’s sneak failed, and the Browns found that they had a big problem when it did — namely, they were out of timeouts, and nobody seemed to know what to do as time ticked down.
So, to review.
The Browns ran a QB sneak from outside the 2 with 15 seconds left and no timeouts.

Did the Browns have a second play not loaded up? Did they not know to spike it? Who knows, really, but the bottom line is Cleveland managed to come away from the situation with zero points.
Naturally, the internet pointed and laughed.
Wow. Dumbest 30 seconds of clock management I've ever seen by Hue Jackson there at the end of the half.

Browns usually don't get blown out. But that always do something stupid that greases the skids toward defeat.

The Browns play calling probably needs to update its iOS.

The @Browns mismanagement of the clock at the end of the 1st half is inexcusable. You have to come away with at least 3 points at the end of that drive. Poor situational awareness..

If Hue Jackson actually called that QB sneak before halftime, and it wasn't just some screw up by Kizer, then he needs to be fired, like, tonight.

Hue Jackson’s job is said to be safe. You have to wonder how long that lasts with moments like that happening.
