Isaiah Crowell's carries have gone down as the season has progressed, but Hue Jackson says he still believes in the running back.

Crowell carried the ball 27 times in the first two weeks of the season for the Cleveland Browns, but just 12 times in Week 3 and seven times last week.

"Anything that's going on with Isaiah, I take responsibility for," Jackson said.

"Until we get this guy in a rhythm of running, it's unfair for anybody to question what he's doing. We have not been in a situation where we can hand this guy the ball the way I think you have to hand a back the ball. All of those questions can be directed at me. Until we're able to do that can I tell you exactly what it is. I believe in Isaiah Crowell. No question. I have to get this guy the ball handed to him."

Crowell is averaging 2.9 yards per carry and has five receptions for 50 yards.
