CLEVELAND, Ohio – The emotion was raw and uncensored. It could be seen in Joe Haden’s eyes and heard in his quivering voice.

The Browns cornerback didn't attempt to bottle the frustration minutes after the Jacksonville Jaguars marched 80 yards on their final possession and capped a 32-28 victory at FirstEnergy Stadium.

Haden was victimized by a double move on the game-winning, 20-yard touchdown pass from Chad Henne to Cleveland native Cecil Shorts with 40 seconds remaining.

The defensive back didn’t want to hear about the failings of his defensive teammates. Haden blamed himself and the disappointment of a sixth loss in seven games poured out of him.

“We (bleeping) can’t stand losing, it hurts,” Haden said. “I go out there and put my (bleeping) heart out there every time. Every time. You know what I’m saying? And we end up coming up short. It was my fault on the touchdown. (Short) ran a good route, a good play, good offense.

“Don’t take anything from our D, we’re out there every time grinding, fighting. This (stuff) hurts. Every time we start losing . . . we’re tired of it and there’s nothing we can say. And, you’re gonna to come with the same questions every week and we’re gonna give you the same answers. ‘We’re gonna get better next week, we’re gonna get better next week.’ Until we do it, there’s nothing else to talk about. Straight up.”

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver and Collinwood high school grad Cecil Shorts III catches the game-winning touchdown in the fourth quarter Sunday at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland. The Browns fell to the Jaguars, 32-28.

Teammates said the defensive back, who recorded his fourth interception of the season in the second quarter, was visibly upset as the Browns entered the locker room. Nobody other than Haden was pinning the final defensive series on him.

“I saw his emotions, his tone, but I didn’t hear what he was saying,” Browns defensive captain D’Qwell Jackson said “Something like that, that’s on the entire defense, that’s not on one man and it would be a crime to put it on one man. It’s 11 guys out there each and every snap . . . I’ve got the utmost respect for Joe, he’s made a ton of plays for us. That’s a defensive letdown.”

For the second straight week, Haden had to answer for being on the wrong side of a big play. Last Sunday, Pittsburgh receiver Antonio Brown beat him for a 41-yard touchdown, igniting the Steelers to a 27-11 win.

Browns defensive end Desmond Bryant said Haden’s disgust speaks to the high standards he sets for himself.

“Joe is an elite player in this league and he knows that and I think any time someone is able to get an upper hand on him, he feels as if it shouldn’t have happened,” Bryant said. “Yeah, he was pretty frustrated. That was obvious. But he’s a helluva a player like I said and he will be ready to go next week.”

There was plenty of blame to distribute on a day the Browns lost to an opponent that arrived in Cleveland with two wins. The Browns committed three more turnovers and suffered a safety as center Alex Mack sailed a shotgun snap over the head of quarterback Brandon Weeden in the fourth quarter.

The Browns have 11 giveaways in the past three games.

“Turnovers are killing us, everyone knows it,” nose tackle Phil Taylor said.

But the Browns defense, which entered the game ranked fourth overall, again did not make enough momentum-altering plays. It registered one turnover and two sacks. It also helped squander four leads and allowed a Jacksonville offense ranked dead last in yards and points to drive 80 yards on eight plays for a touchdown in the closing minutes.

“It’s easy to go down the field when you do those dinky-ass passes and (stuff) the whole way,” Taylor said. “But you can’t win a game with all those turnovers.”

Taylor’s comments come days after Browns coaches spoke of the need to channel post-game emotions and not blame others. Despite the mistakes, the Browns did amass 439 yards.

“(The Jaguars) shouldn’t have been in the game, period,” Taylor said. “It shouldn’t have come down to that.”

But it did, and the Browns defense couldn’t hold a three-point lead after Josh Gordon raced 95 yards for a touchdown with 3:55 remaining.

The Jaguars hit pass plays of 25 and 16 yards to work the ball into Browns territory. Henne had been throwing short passes all day. Shorts, a Mount Union product, said the Jaguars knew Haden loves to jump short routes.

When the defender bit on a slant, Shorts darted behind him and ran under the well-thrown Henne ball.

“They had been setting that up the whole game,” Haden said. “It was a really, really good route. Quarterback threw it, (Shorts) caught it, touchdown.”

When Haden was asked if the defense should have stopped the Jaguars on the final series, he didn’t want his teammates involved in the breakdown.

“Man, you always come with the defensive stuff,” Haden said. “We’re doing a good job, they scored on me at the end of the game.”
