The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Cleveland Browns 20-16 in Week 6. With the loss the Cleveland Browns have fallen to 1-5 on the season and have yet to score 20 points in a game. Deshaun Watson threw for 168 yards and was sacked five times in the loss.

While Watson mostly struggled again, he did convert a few third downs in the second half. Still, coach Kevin Stefanski didn't trust him to go for a touchdown late with the Browns down seven. Instead the Browns coach elected to kick a field goal to cut the Eagles lead to four with 3:54 remaining in the game.

The Browns never got the ball back.

HURTS DEEP TO BROWN.

Clutch deep ball connection.

Some fans pointed out that kicking the field goal there was a bad decision long before the Browns failed to get a stop that would have gotten them the ball back, still needing a touchdown.

Man am I glad Stefanski decided to kick that FG! 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡

Browns down 7 with 4th and goal and 4 minutes left and they kick a FG. How did Stefanski win coach of the year 💀

Stefanski is an idiot. You don't kick that field goal. Still need a TD. Just go for it. This train is dead......... #Browns

A true cowards kick by Stefanski and the #Browns there.

Down a touchdown and it’s 4th and goal.

How do people cheer for this team?
