Robert Griffin III struggles as inept first half drops Browns to 0-13

CLEVELAND -- Hue Jackson wasn't shy about going after his first win as Cleveland Browns coach on Sunday.

In the first quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals, he went for the first down on fourth-and-1 from his 21.

In the second quarter, he tried a flea flicker -- from the end zone.

For the game, he made Josh McCown inactive and returned to Robert Griffin III at quarterback.

The first down attempt worked, but it led to no points. The flea flicker was intercepted. And Griffin finished with a 38.4 rating in his first game in three months.
