There was no other explanation for the play call. Dumbest play call of the year goes to Hue Jackson. QB sneak from the 2 with 15 seconds before half and no timeouts.

To Jackson's credit, after the 38-24 lo s in Detroit."It's on me,'' Jackson, who is now 1-24 in Cleveland, told reporters, via Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot. "I'm mad at myself. Nobody else. period. I'm taking the fall on everything. We're an 0-9 football team right now.'' Kizer, meanwhile, who has taken responsibility for the team's performance in the past, was le s inclined to do so when the topic turned to the failed quarterback sneak.

DeShone took it upon himself to sneak it, which is not a bad thing to do. We didn't get it. That was unfortunate, but we moved on.

The execution would have to be perfect, however, and because these are the Browns that didn't happen. The Lions' defenders took their sweet time unpiling themselves off Kizer and by the time both teams were lined up the clock had expired.

"Yeah, that's the defense's job,'' Kizer conceded. "Anytime the clock's rolling, they're going to try to stay on top of you. They did a good job of making sure we couldn't get up and get the ball snapped to kill it. It is what it is." Here's your silver lining: There are only 420 minutes left in the Browns' 2017 season.
