Cemented into one of the worst stretches in professional sports history having won just 3 of their last 40 games, the Browns finally cut ties with third-year head coach Hue Jackson in a move that had been anxiously anticipated nearly every Monday the last two years.
After winning just one game his first season in Cleveland in 2016, the Browns became only the second team in NFL history to go winless during an entire season in 2017.
The 2018 Browns, having shown brief glimpses of heroics with rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield, had lost straight three games and fallen out of playoff relevance.
Jackson’s Browns never won a road game during his depressing tenure.
