Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson has confessed that he is sick of his side being the brunt of jokes in the NFL due to their failures in the post-season.
The Bengals have not won a playoff game in 24 years – the longest active streak in the league – leaving Jackson determined to end his side's barren run by ensuring his offense produces high quality in the 2015 season.
"Last season cut me to the core. I promise you that," Jackson told reporters. "I think it cuts a lot of people at the core because we are tired.
"I'm tired of being the brunt of jokes. I'm tired of our organisation being the brunt of jokes. I don't want to be the laughingstock of anything and neither do those players in there on the offense."
The Bengals have reached the playoffs in each of the past four seasons, but have lost in the wildcard round on each occasion.
