KARL JOSEPH NEWS

Records pick in playoff loss Joseph had four tackles and an interception in Sunday's 22-17 playoff loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Joseph's pick stopped a potential game-clinching drive and gave the Browns a chance to take the lead, but they chose to punt on fourth-and-9 at their own 32 and never possessed the ball again. Joseph, who dealt with a hamstring injury that cost him time during the regular season, was a key piece of the defense when healthy. He becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2021.

Sparks first half scoring binge Joseph had one tackle, one quarterback hit and recovered a fumble for a touchdown in Sunday's 48-37 wild-card win over Pittsburgh.

Impact On the first play of the game, a snap sailed over the head of Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and bounced into the end zone where Joseph fell on it to open the scoring. On the next drive, Joseph's blitz led to a M.J. Stewart interception and Jarvis Landry touchdown. The Browns went on to build a 35-10 first-half lead and withstood a Pittsburgh second-half comeback. The fumble recovery was Joseph's third of the year, and the touchdown was the first of his career.
