Kevin Stefanski on Dustin Hopkins: He's our kicker, I expect him to work through it

The Browns were losing 13-7 to the Steelers late in the first half of Sunday's game, but they put themselves in position to get points on both sides of the break.

Unfortunately for the Browns, kicker Dustin Hopkins couldn't come through either time. Hopkins missed field goals from 38 and 45 yards and the Steelers followed the second miss with a touchdown that put them firmly in control of a game they would go on to win 27-14.

Hopkins, who signed a three-year extension this summer, has now missed nine of the 25 field goals he's tried this season and head coach Kevin Stefanski was asked after the game if he's considering other options.

"He’s our kicker," Stefanski said, via Cleveland.com. "We expect him to make those. He’s a veteran. He’s a pro. I expect him to work through it. He’s our kicker."

Hopkins isn't the only or main reason why the Browns are 3-10 this season, but his performance is part of a long list of disappointing things in Cleveland.
