The most memorable Browns season in a generation came to an end Sunday in Kansas City.
The Browns, playing in their first AFC Divisional Round game since 1994, rallied back from a 16-point halftime deficit to make it a one-score game late in the fourth quarter, but that was as far as they d get Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. The defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs weathered an injury to All-Pro QB Patrick Mahomes and hung on just long enough against the upset-minded Browns, who fell 22-17 to end their unforgettable 2020 season. I am extremely disappointed that we were not able to get the job done today, said Kevin Stefanski, who led the Browns to 12 wins in his first season as head coach.
Refs Missed Obvious Penalty on Browns Fumble Into the End Zone
Dan Sorenson hits Rashard Higgins with his helmet, causing a fumble
The Cleveland Browns suffered a gut-punch late in the first half of their Divisional Round matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. A fumble into the end zone snatched a potential touchdown from Baker Mayfield s offense, but officials appear to have screwed Cleveland on the play. Replays showed there should have been a flag for illegal use of the helmet.
On first and 10 from Kansas City s 26-yard line with 1:48 to go in the half, Mayfield hit Rashard Higgins on the right side. As Higgins stretched out to get into the end zone, he was hit by Chiefs safety Dan Sorenson. The ball was jarred loose and rolled into the end zone and out of bounds. Kansas City was awarded the ball on a touchback.
