"There's a lot that went wrong," Judge told reporters after the game.
The Cleveland Browns are signing running back Kareem Hunt, the team announced Wednesday.
Hunt's new pact with the team is a one-year deal worth up to $4 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Hunt spent 2019-22 with the club, though he was not re-signed after his contract expired following the 2022 season. He rejoins the team after starting tailback Nick Chubbwas lost for the year due to a knee injury.
Chubb took a direct hit to his left knee from Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick on Monday night and is scheduled to undergo season-ending surgery. The team placed Chubb on injured reserve Wednesday.
Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is believed to have suffered a season-ending knee injury that includes multiple torn ligaments in Monday night's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Chubb was carted off the field following a violent collision with Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrickearly in the second quarter. He was in visible pain and the ESPN broadcast declined to show a replay of the hit due to the gruesome nature.
The star tailback is expected to have tests to confirm the severity of the injury Tuesday, Rapoport adds.
The Kansas City Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes have agreed on a restructured deal that will guarantee him $210.6 million between 2023 and 2026, his agency told Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The Boston Red Sox fired chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom.
"While parting ways is not taken lightly, today signals a new direction for our club," Red Sox owner John Henry said in a statement.
The Red Sox hired Bloom in October 2019. Boston made the postseason once during Bloom's tenure, reaching the ALCS before falling to the Houston Astros in 2021.
After Aaron Rodgers went down with an Achilles tendon injury early in his debut with the New York Jets, the Buffalo Bills seemingly had an easy path to a season-opening win at MetLife Stadium.
They didn't count on Pro Bowl quarterback Josh Allen messing things up with one of his worst games in the NFL, turning the ball over four times.
Allen threw three interceptions and lost a fumble late in the fourth quarter of what became a 22-16 overtime loss. The Jets walked it off thanks to a 65-yard punt return by rookie Xavier Gipson.
An MRI confirmed New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers will miss the rest of the season due to a torn left Achilles tendon, sources told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
The four-time MVP suffered the injury in Monday night's win over the Buffalo Bills. He was carted off from his Jets debut after a sack during New York's opening drive.
Following New York's overtime victory, head coach Robert Saleh said the team will roll with former No. 2 overall pick Zach Wilson as its starter for the rest of the year.
The Los Angeles Angels could be in for a franchise-altering offseason.
With Shohei Ohtani set to become a free agent, the club is open to moving outfielder Mike Trout in the event he requests a trade, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports.
Selected by the Angels with the 25th pick in the 2009 MLB Draft, Trout has spent his entire 13-year career in Anaheim. He's won three AL MVP awards but has only appeared in three postseason games and none since 2014.
Trout signed a 12-year, $430-million extension in 2019. He's signed through 2030 and is still owed roughly $260 million as of the start of next season.
FIFA suspended Luis Rubiales as president of Spain's football federation on Saturday for kissing Women's World Cup player Jenni Hermoso on the lips, while even his close friend Jorge Vilda joined the tidal wave of criticism.
The move by world football's governing body was the latest development in a deepening row pitting Rubiales and the federation (RFEF) against Hermoso and her Spain teammates, which the players say has tarnished the glory of winning the World Cup in Australia last Sunday.
Phil Mickelson's gambling habits are no secret, but an excerpt in Golf Digest from Billy Walters' upcoming book "Gambler: Secrets from a Life at Risk" reveals just how serious things got.
Walters, one of the most successful sports bettors of all time, formed a gambling partnership with Mickelson for five years up until the spring of 2014.
Walters claims he received a call from Mickelson in September 2012 while the latter was set to compete in the 39th Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Club. Mickelson was feeling extraordinarily confident that the U.S. team led by him and Tiger Woods could beat the European squad after losing in 2010. Walters says Mickelson asked him to place a $400,000 bet for him on the American team to win.
"Have you lost your fucking mind?" Walters remembers telling him. "Don't you remember what happened to Pete Rose? You're seen as a modern-day Arnold Palmer. You'd risk all that for this? I want no part of it."
"Alright, alright," Mickelson replied, according to Walters.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he felt embarrassed by his theatrical display during an argument with plate umpire Laz Diaz after he was ejected during New York's loss to the Chicago White Sox on Monday.

"I don't like doing that," Boone said. "But I also felt like I needed to fight with what was happening in that game."
The Toronto Blue Jays placed All-Star shortstop Bo Bichette on the 10-day injured list with right knee patellar tendonitis on Wednesday, retroactive to Aug. 1.

The Anaheim Ducks signed restricted free-agent winger Troy Terry to a seven-year extension, the team announced Wednesday.

"Troy is a major part of our team as a character player and leader".
Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman was awarded a one-year contract worth $3.48 million in arbitration, the team announced Tuesday.

The New York Mets and Texas Rangers have agreed on a trade involving right-hander Max Scherzer, reports the New York Post's Jon Heyman.
Scherzer has agreed to waive his no-trade clause, but a deal hasn't been completed as the two clubs have to work through financial issues, a source told SNY's Andy Martino.
Scherzer is in the midst of his worst campaign in more than a decade, authoring a 4.01 ERA and career-worst 4.73 FIP in 19 starts while earning $43.3 million. The veteran hurler is also tied for the most home runs allowed in the National League.
Aaron Judge believes it would be good for baseball to see Los Angeles Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani best the New York Yankees outfielder's American League record of 62 home runs set last season.
"Records are meant to be broken," Judge said Wednesday, according to Greg Joyce of the New York Post. "It would be exciting for the game if he went out and got 63-plus. ... I still got quite a few years left in this game, so if he breaks it, it'll give me another opportunity to try to go out there and do something special."
Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes reported for training camp Tuesday and is already thinking about how the reigning Super Bowl champions can keep competing in a stacked AFC.
"The thing this year is how we can keep building?" the quarterback said, according to NFL.com's Michael Baca. "Obviously, we won the Super Bowl last year and it was amazing, but we still have a lot of young guys, and we want to continue to get better and better. You look around the AFC, everyone has gotten better. So you want to continue to build and build and not be satisfied with what we did last year and see if we can take that next step."
The Shohei Ohtani trade speculation is heating up.
The Los Angeles Angels will consider trade inquiries for Ohtani, sources told Jon Morosi of MLB Network, who added that the club has not eliminated the possibility of a deal prior to the Aug. 1 deadline.
A nine-game homestand coming out of the All-Star break will play a large role in determining the team's direction, notes Morosi. The Angels are slated to play nine games against the Houston Astros, New York Yankees, and Pittsburgh Pirates. The Astros and Yankees sit above Los Angeles in the AL wild-card race.
Anze Kopitar isn't going anywhere.
The Los Angeles Kings signed their captain to a two-year contract extension with an average annual value of $7 million, the team announced Thursday.

McDavid edged David Pastrnak of the Boston Bruins and Matthew Tkachuk of the Florida Panthers for the Hart. Pastrnak and San Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlssonwere the other nominees for the Ted Lindsay.
Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred has some regrets about the way he handled the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal.
Former Astros manager A.J. Hinch and ex-general manager Jeff Luhnow were suspended for the entire 2020 campaign. Houston also lost draft picks and was fined $5 million. However, the players weren't punished due to immunity for their indiscretions during the club's World Series-winning 2017 season and parts of 2018.
"I'm not sure that I would have approached it with giving players immunity," Manfred said, according to Sean Gregory of Time. "Once we gave players immunity, it puts you in a box as to what exactly you were going to do in terms of punishment. I might have gone about the investigative process without that grant of immunity and see where it takes us.
The Montreal Canadiens are bringing back Sean Monahan on a one-year, $1.985-million contract extension, the club announced Tuesday.
Monahan was limited to 25 games this past campaign due to injury. He sustained a season-ending lower-body ailment against the Vancouver Canucks on Dec. 5.
He'll receive a $15,000 bonus if he plays 26 contests, according to CapFriendly. The average annual value of the deal will be $2 million, but the cap hit will remain at $1.985 million.
Golden State Warriors veteran forward Draymond Green is declining his $27.5-million player option for the 2023-24 season and will enter unrestricted free agency, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

"We really want Draymond back," Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. said Monday, according to Madeline Kenney of the Bay Area News Group. "We feel like we have to have him."

Pierre-Luc Dubois' future with the Winnipeg Jets has long been uncertain, but the saga has taken another twist, as the player is now hoping for a move elsewhere.
"(Dubois is) not eligible to be (an unrestricted free agent) until next summer in 2024, but our understanding is that (agent) Pat Brisson has informed the Winnipeg Jets that his client isn't inclined to sign an extension this summer," TSN's Pierre LeBrun reported on Wednesday's edition of "Insider Trading."
LeBrun added, "Brisson would like to work with the Winnipeg Jets on a trade for Dubois to another team."
The most disruptive year in golf ended Tuesday when the PGA Tour and European tour agreed to a merger with Saudi Arabia's golf interests, creating a commercial operation designed to unify professional golf around the world.

Still to be determined is how players like Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson, who defected to Saudi-funded LIV Golf for nine-figure bonuses, can rejoin the PGA Tour after this year.
The Pittsburgh Penguins named Kyle Dubas their new president of hockey operations on Thursday.
The 37-year-old executive replaces Brian Burke, who was fired in April after the Penguins missed the playoffs for the first time since 2005-06, Sidney Crosby's rookie season.
Dubas is tasked with establishing a strategic vision and philosophy for the Penguins.
The Toronto Maple Leafs tabbed Brad Treliving, formerly of the Calgary Flames, as their new general manager, the club announced Wednesday.
Treliving and the Flames agreed to part ways in mid-April. Calgary missed the playoffs one season after winning the Pacific Division title.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone has been suspended one game and fined an undisclosed amount for his "recent conduct" toward umpires, Major League Baseball announced Friday.
Boone will serve his ban Friday when the Yankees host the San Diego Padres.
The ban comes less than 24 hours after Boone received his league-leading fourth ejection of the season during Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. He had to be restrained while getting in the face of multiple umpires during his nearly minute-long tirade before the fourth inning.
Former Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving is "very high" on the Toronto Maple Leafs' list to replace Kyle Dubas, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported during Tuesday night's edition of "32 Thoughts."
Friedman added that Treliving is expected to be in Toronto this week to meet with the team.

The Toronto Raptors met with former Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash to discuss the team's coaching vacancy, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Nash, who went 94-67 in 161 games over three seasons in Brooklyn, agreed to part ways with the Nets early in the 2022-23 campaign after the team opened the campaign 2-5.
The Hall of Famer's tenure in Brooklyn is arguably best remembered for the several incidents involving the team's then-star duo in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, including Durant reportedly calling for his firing and Irving being unavailable for multiple games due to team-issued suspensions.
The Pittsburgh Penguins were given permission to speak with former Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on Monday's edition of "32 Thoughts."
Toronto decided to part ways with Dubas on Friday. His contract expires June 30, so teams wanting to talk to the 37-year-old before that date must get the Maple Leafs' permission.

The Philadelphia 76ers have dismissed head coach Doc Rivers, the team announced Tuesday.

Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl was choked up Sunday after his team's season ended in Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs at the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights.
"It hurts. It's tough to find words right now," Draisaitl told reporters postgame. "Obviously, when you start a season, you're in it to win it, and we're at that stage. If you don't complete that then it feels like a failure or a wasted year almost. It hurts."
Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog is expected to miss the entire 2023-24 season due to a knee cartilage transplant scheduled for May 10, the team announced Tuesday.
Landeskog already missed the 2022-23 regular season and Colorado's brief playoff run due to knee issues. He underwent surgery in March 2022 before returning to help the Avalanche win the Stanley Cup and then had another procedure in October. He was originally given a 12-week recovery timeline but never suited up.

A $30-million legal battle between Tiger Woods and his ex-girlfriend has escalated, with Erica Herman accusing the golf superstar of beginning their sexual relationship when she was his employee and threatening to fire her if she didn't sign a nondisclosure agreement she now wants voided.
Herman, in court documents filed late Friday, also accused Woods of having his lawyer break up with her at an airport in October after falsely telling her they were going on a weekend trip. The lawyer then evicted her from Woods' $54 million mansion north of Palm Beach.
The documents were filed in advance of a scheduled Tuesday hearing where Woods' attorneys are expected to ask Circuit Judge Elizabeth Metzger to halt Herman's lawsuit against their billionaire client. They say the former couple's nondisclosure agreement requires all disputes be settled privately by an arbitrator, not in court.
Alabama is firing baseball coach Brad Bohannon after a report of suspicious bets involving his team, with the school saying he violated "the standards, duties and responsibilities expected of university employees."

Alabama said in a statement that athletic director Greg Byrne has initiated the process of firing Bohannon "for, among other things, violating the standards, duties, and responsibilities expected of university employees." Jason Jackson will serve as interim head coach.
Thirteen-year NHL veteran Petr Klima died at 58 years old on Thursday, the league announced.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid will miss Game 1 against the Boston Celtics due to a sprained LCL in his right knee, the team announced prior to tipoff, per Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
The 76ers listed the six-time All-Star as doubtful ahead of Monday's series opener. Embiid hasn't played since suffering the knee injury in Game 3 of Philadelphia's first-round matchup versus the Brooklyn Nets.
The Sixers are optimistic that Embiid will return to the lineup for Game 2, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
The big man underwent platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment on his knee last week and participated in parts of team practice Sunday, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
