Hue Jackson has accepted the head coaching job with the Cleveland Browns.

Jackson was also a strong candidate with the San Francisco 49ers but will have more personnel control with the Browns.

"They made me feel comfortable," said Jackson.

Jackson has been offensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals over the past two seasons.

Jackson was previously the head coach of the Oakland Raiders.

The Miami Dolphins have hired Vance Joseph as defensive coordinator.

Joseph has been defensive backs coach of the Cincinnati Bengals for the past two seasons and joins Adam Gase.

Joseph was previously with the San Francisco 49ers under Mike Nolan and Mike Singletary, as well as the Houston Texans under Gary Kubiak.

Vontaze Burfict has received a three-game suspension from the NFL.

Burfict's suspension is for "repeated violations of safety-related playing rules."

Burfict’s most recent violation came with 22 seconds remaining in last Saturday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, when he was penalized for unnecessary roughness for using his shoulder to make forcible contact to the head and neck area of a defenseless receiver.

Burfict has previously been fined for safety-related violations four times in 2015, including a $50,000 fine for unnecessarily contacting an opponent who was out of the play in Cincinnati’s Week 17 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Cincinnati Bengals have no plans on firing Marvin Lewis as head coach.

Lewis now has an 0-7 record in the playoffs to go with a 112-94 record in the regular season.

The Bengals had rallied from 15 points down to take a 16-15 lead in the fourth quarter before Jeremy Hill lost a fumble with Cincinnati trying to run out the clock.

The Steelers then setup a game-winning field goal after two penalties on the Bengals' defense.

Hue Jackson is considered the clear frontrunner to become the next head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.

Jackson is currently the offensive coordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals and spent one season as the head coach of the Oakland Raiders. Jackson is scheduled to interview with the 49ers on Sunday.

The 49ers were also strongly interested in Sean Payton, who will remain with the New Orleans Saints.

Hue Jackson will interview with the Cleveland Browns for their head coaching vacancy.

Jackson has been the offensive coordinator for the Bengals over the past two seasons and helped elevate the game of Andy Dalton.

Jackson has one season of experience as a head coach with the Oakland Raiders.

"Those jobs are not the Pittsburgh Steelers," Jackson said. "That's all I can prepare for. It's talk. And it's great talk, and I appreciate everything that's being said."

The Seattle Seahawks finished the 2015 season ranked first in Football Outsiders' Total DVOA following their blowout victory of the Arizona Cardinals.

The Seahawks have now finished first in DVOA for four straight seasons, which is the first time the feat has been accomplished.

The Cincinnati Bengals rank second in Total DVOA ahead of the Cardinals, Carolina Panthers and Kansas City Chiefs.

These were also the five teams, the Seahawks, Bengals, Cardinals, Panthers and Chiefs, to finish the 2015 regular season in the top-10 in both Offensive and Defensive DVOA.

Andy Dalton is hopeful the cast on his right thumb will come off on Monday.

"They said everything's going in the right direction and everything's healing how it should," Dalton said. "So I'm hopeful that I will soon get out of this."

There still is no indication when Dalton will return from the injury. 

Dalton could return for the divisional round of the playoffs at the earliest.

AJ McCarron will continue as the starter until Dalton returns.
