Source: The #Browns have fired coach Hue Jackson. @AdamSchefter on it first.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) October 29, 2018

As of early this morning, the #Browns could have gone one of two ways: Make a change at OC or make a change at head coach. Owner Jimmy Haslam sounded like he wanted to keep Hue Jackson. GM John Dorsey wanted to move on. In the end, they moved on from Hue Jackson.

The Redskins did exactly what they needed to do vs. the New York Giants. The 20-13 win might have looked ugly at times, but there's nothing ugly about this: They're 5-2, still in first place in the NFC East and own a 2-0 mark in the division. It's the... https://t.co/2wZCrGjNcA

One thing that has jumped out at me about the #Redskins three-game winning streak? The players (rightfully) have been at the facility/open locker room on "Victory Monday." In years past & on a bunch of teams, healthy players were not always required to be at team HQ day after.

In the last three games, the Washington Redskins have held Christian McCaffrey, Ezekiel Elliott and Saquon Barkley under 100 yards.

Last three wins for the #Redskins, they've had 156 net passing yards (#Panthers), 175 net (#Cowboys) and now 178 (#NYG).

Yet, 3-0. You might not be scoring a lot of points, but you're winning as a TEAM instead of being a slave to fantasy football & this notion u have to pass.

Just to let you guys know the Redskins have the best rushing defense in the NFL:

Zeke - 33 yards

Trent Williams dislocated his right thumb. He has a hard cast on it and is going to do everything he can to play next week.

Bad news: he needs to be able to grab to play.

Good news: Ty Nsekhe is a WAY better LT than RT if he can't.
