5 Browns whose stock is booming after toppling Titans in Week 13
5. M.J. Stewart
If you knew who M.J. Stewart was before this one, congratulations. You’re truly one of the diehards.
Sure, Stewart lucked into his third quarter interception, but how many times have we seen a Brown get his hands on a ball like that, only to drop it and then bang his facemask into the turf out of frustration?
The timing could’ve have been any better when Stewart plucked the gift that Adam Humphries couldn’t handle, because it kept the contest a three-score game. With the Titans offense noticeably picking up the pace after the half, Stewart’s pick was the slowdown the doctor ordered.
The Browns defense gets a lot of flak, and rightfully so. It’s not a perfect unit. That said, they know how to take the ball away. Tennessee entered the contest having turned the ball over only five times in 11 games. Cleveland forced three turnovers in victory.
The Browns entered Week 13 tied for third in the NFL, with 20 turnovers. They trailed only Pittsburgh (23) and Miami (21)
Next. Three good, bad things from Titans win. dark
With Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams out, the Browns needed a play from someone in the secondary and they got it from Stewart.
