Baker Mayfield calls Hue Jackson “fake” in response to “First Take” criticism

Share

Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield had a super awkward handshake with his former head coach and current Bengals special assistant Hue Jackson after Cleveland's win over Cincinnati on Sunday, and the drama between the two didn't end there.

Mayfield also told reporters in his post game press conference that he didn't like Jackson joining a division rival so soon. On Monday, Mayfield called Jackson "fake" on Instagram in response to ESPN's Damien Woody criticizing the Browns quarterback during Monday's episode of "First Take." 

Check out Mayfield's Instagram comment in the tweet below.

The Browns are 2-1 since Jackson was fired. Mayfield has been fantastic over that three-game span with nine touchdown passes with only one interception. 

Mayfield is living up to the hype as the No. 1 pick in the draft, and with Jackson no longer in the fold, his performance and confidence seem to be on the rise.
