Earlier this season, Browns coach Hue Jackson spoke of a re-commitment to a rushing attack that showed promise the year before.
But with two games left in 2017, Jackson admitted they haven’t been able to execute that plan quite like they hoped this past offseason.
“It hasn’t worked out that way,” he said Friday. “I thought that we would be able to be in games a little closer than what we have been.”
Jackson took ownership of that dynamic as the Browns travel to Chicago in search of their first win. They hope the unit — which has demonstrated improvement in the second half of the season — finishes this year on a high note, starting against the Bears this weekend.
