Jerry Jeudy Exchanges Words With Sean Payton
The Browns were unable to emerge victorious. But they did have a few bright spots in their Monday Night Football matchup. One of those bright spots was star wide receiver Jerry Jeudy. Jeudy who was drafted by the Broncos, had arguably his best matchup as a pro. He snatched down nine receptions for 235 yards and a touchdown.
After the game was over, Jeudy and Broncos head coach Sean Payton had an exchange midfield where he appeared to tell his former coach "I'll be back."

With the Broncos thriving with Bo Nix under center it appears that a reunion could be in the cards.
Kevin Stefanski Shuts Down Hot Seat Rumors
And even though the Browns' chances at a playoff berth are slim, perhaps they can use the end of this season as a stepping stone for the 2025 season. Cleveland proved that they have enough to beat elite teams, with a shocking win over their division rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers, last week. They will be looking for a similar result when they face the Broncos this week.
After another season where they have failed to reach the playoffs, many people believe that Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski could be on the hot seat and on his way out of Cleveland once the season concludes. However, Stefanski says that with the end of the season approaching he isn't feeling any pressure, because he doesn't pay any attention to outside noise.
"I think probably because I grew up listening to [Philadelphia radio], I'm smart enough to not worry about outside noise," Stefanski said. "I get that's part of this gig. That's life in the big city. My sole focus is getting this team ready to get a win on Thursday night. That's it."
