Browns WR Jerry Jeudy Responds to Critics With Bold 6-Word Message
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is taking heat for his lack of production this season, and he responded with a message on social media.
Jeudy is coming off a Pro Bowl campaign in which he set career highs with 90 catches for 1,229 yards and four touchdowns. But he hasn’t come close to that level in 2025. Jeudy has managed just 32 receptions for 395 yards and a single score, logging three or fewer catches in seven games.
The Browns rolled to a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, but Jeudy was once again a non-factor. His lone contribution was a 39-yard grab, and even that ended poorly
“He will be better. That’s really a play that we expect him to make. That’s a huge play for our football team,”
InstagramCleveland Browns receiver Jerry Jeudy responded to criticism on social media.
With criticism piling up, Jeudy jumped on social media with a motivational message. He shared a photo of what looked like a fortune-cookie slip that read, “Challenges will only fuel your success.”
Browns WR Jerry Jeudy Appeared Frustrated With Losses Piling Up
It was an unusual week for Jeudy leading into the game. In his only media appearance, the wideout kept his answers short and offered little substance
“I think Jerry’s got the right attitude. He wants to win,” Stefanski said. “Obviously, when you’re not winning, that certainly can affect your mood, if you can imagine. But he’s focused on winning.”
The Browns are counting on Jeudy to be their No. 1 wideout, especially with the team lacking proven depth at the position. Cleveland traded for Jeudy ahead of last season and quickly signed him to a three-year, $58 million extension, betting on his upside. He rewarded that faith with a breakout season last year, but he hasn’t been able to recapture that level of production so far.
Jerry Jeudy Can Benefit From Browns QB Stability
One thing that could help get Jeudy back on track is finally getting some stability under center. He’s already caught passes from three different quarterbacks this season, and that revolving door hasn’t done his rhythm any favors. Now he’s trying to build something with
Sanders has acknowledged that chemistry is a hurdle he’s still trying to clear with the starting offense, Jeudy included. After replacing
“I think there are a lot of things we need to look at during the week and just get comfortable, even throwing routes with Jerry and throwing routes with all those guys,” Sanders said on Nov. 16. “I like knowing every detail about my receivers. I like knowing the small things, what they’re good at, what they’re not good at. There are so many details that helps me play confident with those guys.”
Sanders has been named the starter for Week 13 for the Browns’ matchup with the San Francisco 49ers.
Erik Spoelstra Gets Candid on Why Heat Overhauled Their Offense
The
Before the Heat outlasted the Dallas Mavericks 106-102 on Monday, Spoelstra was asked by a reporter why he decided to overhaul the team’s entire offense. For the two-time NBA champion coach, it was all about embracing their current roster and using what suits their strengths.
However, the main trigger was an embarrassing 55-point loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 4 of their first-round series, wherein they got swept.
“It’s the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever been a part of. The locker room felt the same way, and we had plenty of time to re-evaluate things during the offseason… We had plenty of time to work on things. And then we just wanted to be open-minded. The first day of camp, I said I would just want to embrace the unknown, and I viewed that as a good thing,” Spoelstra said.
The new offense has done wonders for the Heat this season. They are sitting third in the Eastern Conference standings and are on a five-game winning streak. They have also won eight out of their last 10 games.
What is the Heat’s New Offense?
There’s no denying that Erik Spoelstra is one of the greatest coaches in NBA history. He has been in charge of the Miami Heat since 2008 and has led the franchise to two NBA championships in six NBA Finals appearances.
Spoelstra was primarily known for having a half-court offense, which usually has a lot of sets and not enough pace. That completely changed this season, with the Heat being the fastest-paced offense in the league. They are also the highest-scoring team, averaging 123.9 points per game. They are ahead of offensive juggernauts like the
Here’s how Austin Dobbins of Sports Illustrated summarized Spoelstra’s new offense:
“The Miami Heat’s new look offense is focused on isolations, trust, pace, and confidence in not only yourself, but those around you. Miami is playing the brightest brand of team basketball where everyone can showcase their game. Get a matchup you like, take it to the hole, and kick it to the open man. Everyone is moving, everyone is working, and everyone trusts each other.”
The result? Nine players are averaging in double figures this season, including Tyler Herro, who dropped 24 points in his season debut against the Dallas Mavericks. Nikola Jovic is averaging 8.8 points per game, so the overall figure could jump once he’s healthy and back on the court.
Spoelstra Has Never Won Coach of the Year
With nearly 800 wins in the regular season and two NBA championships to his name, Erik Spoelstra is one of the greatest coaches in history. However, he has never won the Coach of the Year award in his career.
Spoelstra has finished in the Top 5 of voting four times and was runner-up in 2013 to George Karl and in 2017 to Mike D’Antoni, as per Basketball Reference. If the Heat can finish in a good spot this season, he could have a chance to win his first Coach of the Year award.
