Browns Twitter reacts to embarrassing loss to Jets

The Cleveland Browns‘ 2025 season has brought what feels like several new low points for the Kevin Stefanski-Andrew Berry era, but losing to a 1-7 New York Jets team that just this week traded away its’ two best players feels like the lowest point of all.

Jets quarterback Justin Fields attempted just 11 passes. He completed only six of those, for a total of 54 yards, 42 of which came on a screen-pass-turned-touchdown from running back Breece Hall. Because Fields was sacked three times for twelve yards, the Jets gained a net of zero passing yards outside of that one play. The Browns lost the game.

The Browns are now 2-7 on the season. Their rookie starting quarterback continues to struggle mightily, along with the rest of the offense. The vibes are bad in Cleveland.

Let’s take a look at how Browns fans are reacting to Sunday’s brutal loss.

The QB

The unsettled situation at quarterback has been a central storyline for the Browns for the better part of the last year, and ten weeks into the season, there are still just as many questions as there were immediately after April’s draft. Dillon Gabriel has struggled, and Shedeur Sanders’ time to shine is likely approaching quickly. Plenty of Browns fans, though, already have their eyes on the signal-callers who are eligible for the upcoming draft. An ESPN poll of NFL scouts and executives released on Saturday revealed that Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza is widely viewed as the top quarterback prospect in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The coaching

Browns fans have quickly soured on Kevin Stefanski since the beginning of the 2025 season, and the noise is at an all-time high after Sunday’s loss to the Jets. Cleveland’s offense averaged just 3.2 yards per pass play and displayed some incredibly undisciplined football, racking up 10 flags for 78 yards over the course of the day. That included brutal late-game penalties — a defensive holding by linebacker Devin Bush and an offsides by defensive end Cameron Thomas — that gifted the Jets a pair of first downs as they were attempting to run out the clock on the final drive of the game. On top of that, the Browns allowed back-to-back special teams touchdowns on kickoff and punt returns in the first quarter of the game, allowing the Jets to build a 14-7 lead without touching the ball on offense.

The long-term outlook

Losing to this iteration of the New York Jets is excruciating in real-time, but there may be some silver linings in the big-picture implications for the Browns. Losing to the Jets specifically gives the Browns a tiebreaker for a higher pick in April’s draft, and the previously-one-win Saints winning in the early window on Sunday certainly helps as well.

Most importantly, however, the first-round pick that the Browns acquired from Jacksonville in the Travis Hunter trade during the 2025 draft got a little bit sweeter. The Jaguars squandered a 19-point fourth-quarter lead to lose to the Houston Texans, and now sit at 5-4 on the season. According to the league’s standings, updated after the early window of Week 10’s Sunday slate, the Jaguars are now barely hanging on to the seventh seed in the AFC’s playoff picture — eking it out over the Kansas City Chiefs due to a head-to-head victory.

If the Browns are going to be in the quarterback market this spring, the improved draft capital can certainly help them acquire one.
