Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield defended his own actions while qualifying his former head coach as "false" in a response to First take on Instagram Monday:

Mayfield asked Hue Jackson to join the Bengals of Cincinnati After being sacked by the Browns, host Damien Woody told the rookie on ESPN he had to "grow up" because "things are happening in professional football".

Woody also noted that Mayfield was transferred from Texas Tech to Oklahoma, as both teams participated in the Big 12 conference.

However, Mayfield explained that the two situations are "not even comparable".

"I have not lost more than 30 games, whether fake, then I'm doing that," he continued. "… I was not going to have a scholarship … Good try buddy."

Jackson was fired by the Browns at the end of October after a 2-5-1 season start, but caught the Bengals a few weeks later. Jackson spent 10 seasons in Cincinnati as an assistant, including as an offensive coordinator before joining Cleveland in 2016. Unfortunately, he did not bring much help to his former team on Sunday then that the Browns had won the 35-20 victory.

Mayfield was not too enthusiastic for the post-game handshake, declaring later, "I did not want to talk, "by Mary Kay Cabot from Cleveland.com.

"To the left Cleveland, go down to Cincinnati, I do not know," he said about Jackson. "It's just someone who was in our locker room, asking us to play for him, and then playing in a different team, we play twice a year." Everyone can react, but that's all. I feel. "

The teams will play again during the 16th week in a match in Cleveland that could lead to tragedies between North AFC rivals.
