As LB Carson Schwesinger covered his area of the field, he followed Ravens TE Charlie Kolar as he ran his route.
QB Lamar Jackson looked and found Kolar downfield, throwing the ball in his direction. However, Schwesinger closed in and mirrored Kolar's steps, jumping up to intercept the pass. He came down with the ball, picking off the pass and running for nine yards.
Not only did Schwesinger record his second interception of the season against the Ravens, but he also led the team with 10 tackles. He added two tackles for loss and one pass defensed in the Browns' 23-16 loss to Baltimore. Schwesinger was officially nominated for the Pepsi Zero Sugar NFL Rookie of the Week for Week 11.
"Carson, especially as a rookie, he's the guy. If it's rookie of the year. I don't think there's anyone ahead of him currently," DE Myles Garrett said following the game.
Schwesinger was nominated for the Pepsi Zero Sugar NFL Rookie of the Week alongside Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan, Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten, Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson, Cardinals LB Cody Simon and Broncos WR Pat Bryant.
