NFL fans roasted Browns – Steelers after hysterically miserable multi-fumble fiasco

The Cleveland Browns-Pittsburgh Steelers Monday Night Football game got off to the worst-possible start.

After Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Watson threw a pick-six on the first play of the game and Pittsburgh punt returner Gunner Olszewski lost his team a sizable amount of yardage by catching a bad punt, the fumble spree of the decade hit both teams late in the first quarter.

On a Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett pass to Olszewski (poor guy), Browns cornerback Denzel Ward popped the ball right out of Olszewski’s hands on the field as his teammate Grant Delpit scooped it up for the fumble recovery.

Well, at least he did until he got hit and fumbled the ball before it touched players for both teams and veered out of bounds.

Somehow, Cleveland came up with the fumble recovery, but nobody should gotten any credit for this disaster of a sequence.

Like, what? We don’t even know what to say.

In the words of Daniel Craig’s Knives Out detective Benoit Blanc, “It’s so dumb.”

NFL fans were bewildered by how ridiculous this play was.
