Cleveland Browns quarterback Tyler Huntley on Saturday made sure to clean up his own mess.
The Browns hosted the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2 of preseason play at Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio.
The home team trailed the visitors 13-7 when Huntley first came in to start the second half. With the Browns threatening to score a touchdown on Huntley’s opening drive — they got all the way to the Vikings’ five-yard line — the quarterback was sacked for a loss of six yards.
Then, with the Browns facing second-and-goal at the 11, Huntley got picked off by Vikings cornerback Dwight McGlothern. Huntley fell to the ground and even lost his helmet on the play. But he still had the wherewithal to grab it before running back to stop McGlothern from converting a 99-yard pick-six.
McGlothern was pushed out of bounds at the Browns’ eight-yard line.
Despite Huntley’s best defensive effort, the Vikings were still able to score a touchdown two plays later to extend their lead to 20-7.
Huntley went 14-for-20 for 135 yards with two interceptions in the Browns’ 27-12 loss to the Vikings.
