I had actually forgotten about this, but Stefanski (along with quite a bit of his staff) tested positive for COVID before their Wild Card matchup against the Steelers, leaving special teams coordinator Mike Priefer as the team’s acting head coach for the game.
The Browns would go on to win that game 48-37 after taking a monstrous 28-0 first quarter lead.
Stefanski would return on January 14th and his team would lose to the Chiefs 22-17 on January 17th, with backup QB Chad Henne leading the Chiefs for much of the second half.
In their only other playoff appearance with Stefanski as coach, the Texans blew them out 45-14.
