Via Pro Football Talk: 

“If the league is serious, they should fine Browns $5 million and fine [coach Freddie Kitchens] $500,000.That was like a bounty game.There were so many unnecessary flagrant hits, and then the cherry on top.”

The Browns have played an undisciplined brand of football all year long. During training camp, the Browns engaged in joint practice with the Colts. Cleveland coach Freddie Kitchens said after a session that featured multiple fights that “we’re not going to back down to anybody.” Kitchens grew angry at having those words read back to him after Thursday night’s game, insisting that he doesn’t coach penalties.

Consider this, from Jeremy Fowler of ESPN: “Myles Garrett completely lost it, connected the helmet square on Mason Rudolph’s head. And the Browns were celebrating the whole thing from the sideline.” (Emphasis added.)

“The burden starts with the coach/G.M. and culture,” our source said. “The players are the students. If the players don’t learn, you need to question the teaching.”

Kitchens has admitted that he’s still learning on the job.

You can’t blame Kitchens for one of his players using a helmet like that. 

But still, if he fostered that sort of craziness,  he should be held responsible. . .
