Damarious Randall did something funny (or classless?) with the football after picking off Andy Dalton.

After “leading” the Browns to a 3-36-1 record over two-and-a-half seasons in Cleveland, Hue Jackson was relieved of his coaching duties earlier this season.

Within weeks, he had landed as a special assistant to head coach Marvin Lewis with the Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland’s division rival in the AFC North.

During the Browns’ 35-20 victory over the Bengals on Sunday in Cincinnati, defensive back Damarious Randall showed his “appreciation” for his former coach after picking off Andy Dalton. 

Following his pick, Randall found Jackson on the sidelines and mocked his former coach by handing him the intercepted ball. Following the troll job, Jackson accepted the football and patted Randall on the head as if he was still his player.

Based on what happened – or didn’t – with Baker Mayfield after the game, Randall wasn’t the only one Brown who had hard feelings for Jackson.

“Left Cleveland, goes down to Cincinnati. I don’t know. That’s just somebody that’s in our locker room asking for us to play for him and then goes to a different team we play twice a year. Everybody can have their spin on it, but that’s how I feel,” Mayfield said after the game.
