The Cleveland Browns lost yet another game, this time to the Baltimore Ravens, because they lack the necessary offensive firepower to be a serious team. The team played their guts out, giving everything they had, but wasn't enough, falling short 23-16.
Yes, it's important to address both the debut of rookie Shedeur Sanders, who entered the game for the second half when fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel was ruled out, put into concussion protocol.
It's also important to address the ridiculous circus around Sanders that should in no way reflect on a young man trying to learn how to play quarterback in the NFL.
That being said, there's plenty else to talk about in regards to this game.
Accountability
There has been no shortage of discussion around the notion of accountability, especially after the frankly disgusting way the Browns lost last week to the New York Jets.
So often in sports, the accountability most want comes in the form of firings, benching or outright cutting players.
Some of that was aimed at linebacker Devin Bush, for making a critical mistake in the waning moments of the game. On 3rd-and-16, Bush grabbed a Jets tight end, causing a flag which immediately gave them a new set of downs rather than a punt.
Sure, the Browns could've sent a message by benching him or even cutting him. They didn't. He was in the lineup against the Ravens.
Bush then went on to record an interception, which was he able to then run back for a touchdown.
That's the accountability the Browns should want, that everyone should want. Bush made an egregious mistake that helped caused his team a chance to win or at least tie the football game.
Beyond coaching him, the Browns put him back out there, hungry to make up for the mistake. Maybe benching him would've sent a message. It might also cause him or anyone else to play timid or scared. Instead of playing smarter, he might play with less aggression or intensity, getting inside his own head.
