Browns did not 'tank' games, NFL finds [View all]

The NFL said Monday that it found “no evidence” that the Cleveland Browns purposely lost games or incentivized personnel to do so after former head coach Hue Jackson alleged in February the team tried to lose during the 2016 and 2017 seasons.

The league said Monday that a 60-day independent review determined “none of the allegations could be substantiated.” Former U.S. Attorney and SEC Chair Mary Jo White led the investigative team.

Jackson, also a former Oakland Raiders head coach, went 3-36-1 in two-plus seasons for Cleveland before he was fired eight games into the 2018 season. He later claimed that owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam encouraged him and others to “tank” games to secure a more favorable draft position.

Jackson is now is the head coach at Grambling.

Just because "no evidence" was found doesn't mean this did not happen. I believe Jackson over Haslam and the NFL.
