Special teams help Browns let game against Jets slip through hands
The Browns had to massive special teams mistakes in the fourth quarter that played a role in the Jets' streak-ending win.
In a crucial game against the Jets, the Cleveland Browns' special teams unit played a pivotal role in their 17-12 loss. A fumbled punt snap by Corey Bojorquez set up Jets' touchdown, leading to a game-ending 22-yard run by Braelon Allen. Bojorquez, who struggled with the rain-soaked conditions, acknowledged the difficulty in handling the wet ball.
The rain, a result of remnants of Hurricane Isaias, made the balls waterlogged, particularly in the fourth quarter. Despite an impressive start to the season, kicker Andre Szmyt's point-after attempt hit the upright, shifting the Jets' lead. Special teams coordinator Byron Storer, who took over following the loss to the Jets last season, aimed to rebuild the team's performance, but this setback could prove costly in their upcoming game against the Baltimore Ravens.
