Mayfield unapologetic for on-field antics

Baker Mayfield went from scowling at Hue Jackson to glaring at critics.

Three days after he tried to embarrass his former coach with a prolonged stare down in the closing minutes of Cleveland's win over Cincinnati, Mayfield owned up to his actions and then said he doesn't regret them.

"I don't get why people have a problem with football being a competitive sport," Mayfield said Wednesday as the Browns (7-7-1) prepared for their season finale at Baltimore (9-6). "You're supposed to play with emotion. You're supposed to play with passion. Quite honestly, if you don't like it, whatever. Football is not meant to be a soft game."

Extra points

•TITANS: Quarterback Marcus Mariota says he's doing "everything in my power" to be available Sunday night against Indianapolis with a playoff berth on the line for the winner.

Mariota did not practice Wednesday with what the Titans listed as neck and foot injuries. Mariota declined to detail what symptoms he's still dealing with after being hurt on a sack late in the first half of Tennessee's win over Washington last weekend.

•JAGUARS: Quarterback Blake Bortles is getting another start.

Coach Doug Marrone announced Wednesday that Bortles will start the season finale at Houston (10-5), giving the embattled quarterback a chance to close out a subpar season on a positive note.
