Another day, another downer.

We could sit here and fill 100 paragraphs full of things that the Browns did wrong in their 35-10 blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium. They are many of the same things they have been doing poorly all season.

The team is getting a little better, but the rate of progress is slowing down. Playing a team like the streaking Cowboys, winners of seven in a row to improve to 7-1, will do that to you, especially when you’re winless like the 0-9 Browns.

But enough of beating a dead horse – at least for now. Here’s a positive for the Browns (you remember that word, don’t you?). His name is Hue Jackson.

You might not think that the head coach of a team with no victories would be – or even could be — recognized for doing anything right, or good, but that’s case here. He is, of course, as frustrated as he can be, but he refuses to lose his cool or to deviate from the team’s blueprint of playing all these young players, as painful as it may be at times – and it has certainly been painful. He could start benching people, but with a young player, that does no good.

There are no shortcuts or magic wands. As he said in his postgame press conference, you just have to stay with it, and keep working. That’s the only way things are going to change.

No one wants to hear that. But it’s the truth.

It’s one of those times when the truth hurts – a lot.
