CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Perfection in the NFL, like in life, is impossible. So, yes, Browns head coach Hue Jackson was sending a subtle message about the state of his roster last Sunday.
"I think everything has got to be perfect for us to have a chance to win a football game," Jackson said after his team lost to the Vikings to fall to 0-8 on the season. "That's just where we are as a football team. We get it, and our coaching staff gets it and our players get it, and we work that way. We try to do the best we can to get everything right, but we all know that's not how football is played.
