Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens defended quarterback Baker Mayfield’s critique of former head coach Hue Jackson.
Kitchens said he didn’t have a problem with the quarterback’s comments, including an Instagram response in which he called Jackson “fake.”
“I promise you this: Baker’s not going to blow smoke up anybody’s ass,” Kitchens said Thursday as the Browns prepared to face the Texans in Houston on Sunday. “So if he said it, that’s what he feels. And I’m standing behind Baker Mayfield.”
Mayfield stood by his critique of Jackson on Wednesday and responded to those who questioned his maturity.

“People get maturity confused with me being 100 percent comfortable in my own skin,” Mayfield said.
