I'm thinking I might have overlapped when spreading the fert. I have a bag on my mower but it left behind a lot of grass clippings. I left the clippings on the grass instead of raking them

I think he was pulling your leg!
Unless your turf was brown to begin with, no fertilizer should make it "brown" before turning it green! Your instincts were right to question this!
As others have said, leaving behind hunks of chopped lawny-bits is a no-no. I am an advocate of returning clippings to the soil/ground, but you can't leave piles on your lawn as you've found out.
Spend a few bucks and have your mower blades sharpened. BIG difference in your mowing experience and outcome. Keep us posted...
