Browns coach Jackson emotional after 12th straight loss
Jason Pierre-Paul terrorized the Cleveland Browns on Sunday with seven tackles, three sacks, a forced fumble, and a 43-yard fumble return for a touchdown as the Giants defensive end builds an impressive case for NFL Comeback Player of the Year. The touchdown was called back on a holding penalty, and Browns punter Britton Colquitt celebrated as if he scored. But this rough season is clearly no easier for Coach Hue Jackson.
The Giants have won six consecutive games in the regular season for the first time since 2008 following Sunday’s 27-13 triumph over the winless Cleveland Browns.
Sep 11, 2016; Arlington, TX, USA; New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (87) celebrates in from of Dallas Cowboys cornerback Anthony Brown (30) after catching a touchdown pass at AT&T Stadium.
“He is out there all the time”, Jackson said while praising Manning’s toughness, timing and accountability. “I felt it would’ve been too deflating to not score there”. “But we’re going to continue to keep on working”.
“He is a big dude and a heck of an athlete, and he plays hard”, McCown said.
The Giants were in 11 personnel 80 percent of the time last season, according to Pro Football Focus. With the rushing attack being nullified, that allowed a talented Giants pass rush to tee off on McCown, generating seven sacks in the process.
“There’s nothing Josh could’ve done about that fumble,”Jackson said”. A pass in the end zone intended for wide receiver Terrelle Pryor was incomplete.
Now, the next move is for the Browns to score enough and win enough for a player to be able to do this celebration.
Through 12 games, the 6-foot-4, 225-pound Pennsylvania native has team-high totals of 62 receptions, 855 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns.
On what makes him happiest about the Giants’ defense. The Giants’ win in Cleveland saw long stretches of ineffectiveness accompanied by a handful of big plays.
JPP became the first National Football League player with at least three sacks and a fumble-return touchdown of at least 40 yards in the same game since 1982, the first year individual sacks became an official statistic. McCown’s rating was 89.5. The offense was so ineffective that quarterback Eli Manning fired a cup up the sideline in a rare display of frustration during the fourth quarter. Following the play, Beckham scored a touchdown from 6 yards out.
Granted, No.1 pick Corey Coleman missed several games with an injury, but when he’s been on the field he’s been mostly a non-factor, as have most of the others. Jackson was emotional when he talked about what this season has done to him. Up next is Warren Moon (49,325), but Manning has a long way to go to catch brother, Peyton, who finished with 71,940 yards. A 194-yard passing day – nothing special about that. Johnson had 5 yards on three returns. That is how you do not go through these things in the future.
Tackle Machine: LB Christian Kirksey once again led the Browns with 10 tackles, followed by LB Jamie Collins with eight.
When the game is on the line, the Giants want the ball in the right hand of Eli Manning.
“We feel we have some good players in that personnel group”, McAdoo said in response to a question about why he has stuck with the same personnel grouping nearly exclusively this season.
Colin Kaepernick threw three touchdown passes, ran for 113 yards and almost rallied the woeful San Francisco 49ers from a 17-point deficit in the final eight minutes Sunday, which left a lot to talk about afterward.
