Enters for one failed snap Brissett went 0-for-1 on his lone play of the game in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Bengals. Impact Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski, who has designed many productive opening drives in 2022, is getting second-guessed by the Monday morning quarterbacks after this loss. On Sunday's opening drive, the coach replaced Deshaun Watson (3-for-3, 34 yards at the time) with Brissett on fourth-and-1 at the Bengals' 25. Instead of a quarterback sneak, Brissett sailed a corner-route throw over Donovan Peoples-Jones. Instead of getting three points or letting his highly paid starting QB handle a crucial situation, Stefanski rolled the dice and it didn't pay off. Barring a Watson injury, Brissett will see a similar situational role for the rest of the season.
