Hue Jackson challenges Browns to 'fight' in 2nd half of the season

CLEVELAND — The Browns hope their bye week left them recharged, refocused and ready for the second half of what’s been a challenging season.

Cleveland coach Hue Jackson’s message to a young team that’s struggled with self-inflicted wounds and missed opportunities was simple.

“Fight,” Jackson said Thursday. “Fight.”

As the Browns try and climb out of an 0-8 start, Jackson stressed consistency out of a group that has lost four games by a total of 12 points. In other contests, Cleveland has been blown out or been unable to rally past early, insurmountable deficits.

Jackson laid out a plan for the final eight weeks of 2017.
