Well
Jabrill
Peppers Color Rush Jersey , that didn¡¯t take long. Just two weeks after
being relieved of his duties as the Cleveland Browns head coach, Hue Jackson is
employed. The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Tuesday that Jackson would be
returning to their staff, this time as a Special Assistant to head coach Marvin
Lewis. Jackson spent 2012 and 2013 as a defensive assistant in Cincinnati and
2014 and 2015 as the team¡¯s offensive coordinator.Jackson will be returning to
the defensive side of the ball, helping Lewis¡ªwho will be serving as the
Bengals¡¯ defensive coordinator after Monday¡¯s firing of Teryl Austin¡ª¡±assimilate
his head-coaching duties with managing and calling the defense.¡±Jackson was
initially tapped by Lewis to be his eventual successor as Bengals head coach in
2016, but Bengals owner Mike Brown was not convinced, leading Jackson to leave
and ultimately take the Browns job. Now, he¡¯s back in Cincinnati and Browns
safety Damarious Randall has a take on why that may be.Randall tweeted his
initial response:And followed it up with a brief theory:Indeed, the Browns and
Bengals have yet to meet. Their first contest comes on November 25, following
Cleveland¡¯s bye week and the second on December 23. Perhaps Jackson can provide
some level of intel on his former team that could give the 5-4 Bengals a leg up
as they hunt for a playoff berth. But whatever the reason, Jackson¡¯s NFL
unemployment has proven to be brief. And he¡¯ll be back on the field in Cleveland
at least one more time. BALTIMORE (AP) ¡ª The Baltimore Ravens flipped the script
and put one heck of an ending on a regular season that featured countless
surprises and plot twists.Getting two rushing touchdowns from rookie quarterback
Lamar Jackson and a late defensive stand, Baltimore squeezed past the Cleveland
Browns 26-24 Sunday to reach the playoffs as AFC North champions.Kenneth Dixon
accounted for 117 of Baltimore¡¯s season-high 296 yards on the ground, Jackson
had 90 and the rejuvenated Ravens (10-6) broke a three-year playoff drought with
their sixth win in seven games. Baltimore will open the postseason Sunday

year ago, Baltimore missed the playoffs by losing its finale at home to the
Bengals, who rallied with a last-minute touchdown.Remembering that
disappointment, most of the announced crowd of 70,925 was on its feet as the
Browns moved closer to field-goal range with the clock winding down. A 19-yard
completion from Baker Mayfield to former Ravens top draft pick Breshad Perriman
and a 16-yarder to Jarvis Landry pushed the ball to the Baltimore 39 with 1:20
left.Following three straight incompletions, the Ravens blitzed Mayfield on
fourth down and linebacker C.J. Mosley picked off a pass to clinch it. Baltimore
finished a half-game ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who beat Cincinnati
16-13.¡°There were some nerves,¡± tight end Hayden Hurst said. ¡°I felt confidence
that at some point one of those guys would make a big play and sure enough, C.J.
did.¡±After killing off the final seconds, the Ravens danced into their locker
room, donned caps proclaiming them AFC North champs, and mugged for selfies and
shots of each other.¡°If you want to write a book about this season, probably no

coach John Harbaugh said.It¡¯s been quite a turnaround for the Ravens, who were
4-5 before Jackson took over for injured Joe Flacco, the team¡¯s starting
quarterback since 2008. Flacco was behind center in 2012, when Baltimore
captured its last division crown and ultimately won the Super Bowl.The
Jackson-led running attack was too much for Cleveland (7-8-1), which was denied
its first winning season since 2007. After trailing 20-7 at halftime and 26-17
with 7:20 left, the Browns could not recover against the franchise that left
Cleveland after the 1995 season.Mayfield threw three touchdown passes ¡ª
including a 48-yarder to Landry ¡ª to finish with 27, an NFL record for a
rookie.¡°I¡¯ll make sure I say something about it on the plane ride home,¡± interim
coach Gregg Williams said. ¡°Everybody needs a pat on the back, even where you¡¯re
as competitive as that young man. And he is competitive.¡±Although Mayfield
pierced the NFL¡¯s top-ranked defense for 376 yards, he was intercepted three
times.¡°Obviously, very disappointed for us to not get the win, but it¡¯s a great
team. It¡¯s a playoff team,¡± Mayfield said. ¡°We want to be in their spot this
time next year.¡±Jackson gave Baltimore a 17-7 lead with touchdown runs of 25
yards and 8 yards
