In a hard-fought game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, the Cleveland Browns emerged victorious. However, Browns tight end David Njoku was not satisfied with his own performance, as he struggled with dropped passes throughout the game. Despite his disappointment, Njoku credited his teammates for stepping up and helping secure the win.

Reflecting on his substandard play, Njoku admitted, "Even though what I displayed was unacceptable, my teammates, the receivers, the running backs, everybody, they're trying to pick each other up, myself included, and just find a way to get the job done." These comments were shared by Njoku with Cleveland.com, emphasizing the collective effort required to overcome his shortcomings.

During the game, Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson targeted Njoku frequently, throwing him a total of 15 passes—the highest number for any Browns player. However, Njoku was only able to catch seven of them, accumulating 56 yards in the process. Disappointed with his performance, Njoku described his showings as "unacceptable."

Recognizing the impact of his teammates, Njoku expressed gratitude for their contributions, saying, "Luckily, my teammates picked up the slack and we had a victory, but it's back to work from here on out." Determined to rectify his mistakes, the tight end revealed his plans to intensify his training this week. Njoku mentioned that he has a JUGS machine at home, which he intends to utilize to improve his catching technique and reduce the number of drops.

With the Browns securing a crucial win against their division rivals, Njoku's self-awareness and dedication to self-improvement highlight his commitment to the team's success. As the Browns move forward, Njoku's determination to bounce back will undoubtedly play a significant role in their pursuit of further triumphs.
