up his team’s latest loss. Hue Jackson was nowhere to be found.At this point Ozzie Newsome Jersey , there’s not much left to say — the Cincinnati Bengals are a mess.A last-place mess.By losing for the sixth time in seven games, the Bengals locked up their first finish at the bottom of the AFC North since 2011 on Sunday with a 26-18 defeat to the Cleveland Browns, who swept the season series between the Ohio rivals and continued the biggest turnaround in franchise history.The Bengals, meanwhile, are spiraling downward.“It is very frustrating,” said running back Joe Mixon, the team’s only healthy, legitimate offensive threat. “I have never been a part of a losing program. I am never going to get comfortable with being part of it. At the end of the day, I am going to take it for what it is this year, build, and try to get better and get ready for next year. We still have another week coming up. It is a big one. I promise you, we are not going to be in this for long — and that is a fact.”After a 4-1 start, the Bengals (6-9) were envisioning another probable playoff run under Lewis before the bottom dropped out.Now, owner Mike Brown has to have legitimate concerns about his team’s direction after the Browns (7-7-1), who thumped the Bengals last month in Cincinnati, built a 26-3 lead before giving up a pair of late touchdowns that made the scoreboard look more respectable than anything that happened on the field.Of course, there are reasons for Cincinnati’s collapse, starting with season-ending injuries to quarterback Andy Dalton and star receiver A.J. Green. However, there’s no justification for minus-15 yards passing in the first half, blown coverages, missed tackles or mental mistakes.The mood bordered on anger in the Bengals’ locker room afterward. This is not where they wanted to be.“It is what it is,” Mixon said. “People can make a lot of excuses on why we finished last. At the end of the day, we have to come to work every day to work. If you are not doing that, you are not going to get the results you want. For me, I’m going to keep on coming Briean Boddy-Calhoun Jersey , ready to play for 60 minutes each and every week and finish this last week strong.”Quarterback Jeff Driskel, who threw a pair of TD passes in a two-minute stretch in the fourth, said it’s time for Bengals players to be accountable.“I don’t think you look at the roster. I think you have to look at yourself, ‘What can I do better to prevent this in the weeks and seasons to come?,'” said Driskel, who had just 3 yards passing in the first half. “Obviously, we came into the season thinking that we were going to be able to win this division. We go into every game thinking that we’re going to win the football game. So, we have to find a way to win tight football games. We have one more this season, and we’re going to do everything we can to get a win so we can end the season on a win.”For Jackson, his return to Cleveland couldn’t have gone much worse.Fired on Oct. 29 after winning just three of 40 games in two-plus seasons with the Browns, Jackson was re-hired by Lewis as a special assistant. It may only be a coincidence, but the Bengals’ crash began shortly after Jackson’s arrival.With the Browns clinging to their eight-point lead, rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield completed a daring, game-clinching, 66-yard pass to tight end David Njoku and then jogged down the field staring in Jackson’s direction. Mayfield was angered by Jackson’s decision to join a division rival so soon after his Cleveland tenure ended.It was the final insult on a day of them for the Bengals, who may have to deal with Mayfield for another decade.“I’ve been playing Baker for years,” Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard said. “He’s a competitive dude and he talks a lot, but obviously he backs it up. The way to get him to quiet down is to beat him, and that’s what we have to do.” BEREA, Ohio (AP) — With a bright smile, easygoing nature and similar facial expressions, rookie cornerback Greedy Williams looks like a young Chris Rock.He’s a dead ringer for the comedian.“I tell people, that’s my father,” Williams joked.The only rock the Browns need him to be is in their secondary.After questions about his toughness and tackling dropped him to the second round of last week’s NFL draft, Williams was selected by Cleveland Joe Schobert Color Rush Jersey , which traded up three spots to nab the former LSU standout. The Browns hope that pairing him with Denzel Ward, who made the Pro Bowl last season as a rookie, will stabilize their defensive backfield for years.If first impressions mean anything, Williams made a strong one Friday as the Browns opened their rookie minicamp to the media.Wearing No. 26, Williams was relaxed while answering some pointed questions, and then showed off some of his quickness and athleticism during a workout moved indoors by rain.One of the SEC’s best defensive backs, Williams was so confident he’d be taken in the first round that he went to Nashville for the draft with much of his family, including his fiancee and 2-year-old daughter.But as the night wore on, and without hearing his name announced by Commissioner Roger Goodell, Williams grew uneasy. He began to wonder and worry.Williams asked LSU teammate Devin White to fill him in on draft protocol.“I was like, ‘So everybody at the draft gets drafted, right?'” Williams said. “He was like, ‘No, a couple people didn’t get drafted last year.’ So I’m like, ‘Oh, my God.'”Once the first round ended, Williams knew there was only one thing to do — pack up.“I still had high energy, happy, and told my mom, ‘Let’s just go back home and do it with my other family,'” he said. “I told her ‘Day 2’s coming up.'”Williams was surrounded by 150 guests at a Holiday Inn in Shreveport, Louisiana, when the call came through from Browns general manager John Dorsey.“It was probably one of the best experiences of my life,” he said.Once Dorsey welcomed Williams, he handed the phone to coach Freddie Kitchens https://www.brownsfanshop.com/Ricardo-Louis-Jersey , who had a different message for the cornerback. The team posted the exchange on Twitter.“You’re going to have to tackle a little bit now,” Kitchens said with a laugh. “You know that, right?”Williams understand the criticism on him entering the draft was his tackling, or lack thereof, and that may have caused him to slip.He’s not worried about it being a problem going forward.“I saw John Dorsey said we just need this guy to get somebody down and that’s me. I’m more than just getting somebody down,” he said. “I’m like tackling, hitting, whatever they need me to do, and I’m here to do it.”First, there was another issue to tackle — Williams’ boast that the Browns will play in the Super Bowl this season.Caught up in the excitement moments after being drafted, Williams made the bold prediction three times during a conference call with reporters.When he arrived in Cleveland, Williams met with Kitchens, who warned him to be more careful with his words.“I like the confidence and I like the excitement and the passion that he has,” Kitchens said. “I don’t know how many predictions he will be making. Greedy is a good kid, though. He is a really good kid. He was just full of excitement. I like excitement and I like the enthusiasm, and he has a lot of both.”NOTES: The Browns signed 15 undrafted free agents, including Scottish punter Jamie Gillan. Nicknamed “The Scottish Hammer,” Gillan, who played at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, is expected to compete with Britton Colquitt. … Kitchens had several former Browns players, including Hall of Famer Jim Brown and Bernie Kosar, speak to the rookies Thursday night. “I wanted them to see what it was to be a Cleveland Brown and what it meant to the city,” Kitchens said. “It went really well.”
