CLEVELAND -- RG3 is getting chance No. 3. And maybe his last one for the Browns.Still looking for that elusive first victory, Cleveland coach Hue Jackson is keeping Robert Griffin III as his starting quarterback this week against San Diego for the bad-to-the-bone Browns, who are desperately trying to avoid an 0-15 start and perhaps the second 0-16 season in NFL history.Well go out there and give him another opportunity to take a swing at it, Jackson said.Jackson had considered changes following Sundays 33-13 loss in Buffalo, the Browns sixth straight by double digits. However, after watching the game tape, Jackson felt Griffin made more progress in his second start since Sept. 11 and will give him another one.There was some improvement, Jackson said on a conference call. There were some things that I thought he did much better when you go back and watch the tape than the first time he played. Hopefully there can be another jump in this next game. But I think he needs to go play and he needs to play well.Griffin completed 17 of 28 passes for 196 yards against the Bills, who flushed him from the pocket throughout much of the game and sacked him five times. Griffin, who missed 11 weeks after breaking a bone in his left shoulder in the season opener, ran eight times for 48 yards and scored on an 18-yard scamper.It was an upgrade from his return against Cincinnati a week earlier, when he went 12 of 28 for 104 yards and an interception.I thought in the second half, I thought he stood in there and threw some good balls, said Jackson, who is using the final four games to evaluate whether Griffin can be Clevelands QB going forward. I thought he started managing and running our offense with efficiency. I thought he was in rhythm. You know for a moment there we looked like the offense that Ive come to know a little bit, and I thought there was an uptick in performance.But despite Griffins jump, Jackson wants more and said he will not hold back in pulling Griffin in favor of rookie Cody Kessler, who made eight starts while RG3 was recovering from his injury.I wont be hesitant in this game because I would like to see a little a bit of Cody before the end of this season, and if things are not going as well as I like, I do have that card to where I could put Cody in the game, he said.With every loss, the Browns inch closer to unwanted infamy.They set a franchise record with their 13th straight loss and matched the club record for losses in a season. The Browns have dropped 17 in a row over the past two seasons, and including their four exhibition games this season, theyre on a 21-game losing streak.After hosting the Chargers, the Browns will wrap up a season that cant end fast enough on Jan. 1 in Pittsburgh.Jackson said he worries about the negativity shaking his players and carrying over into 2017.You can very well think that way, he said. But were going to fix this and we have to on all levels, and thats one of the levels. I think really dealing with our players once this seasons over and once we get back, weve got to rid the whole locker room and everything of those feelings and those thoughts because once this is over its over, and weve got to move forward and move on to bigger and better things.I truly believe our players understand that, I know our staff will and I know our organization will and thats what well do.Game notes WR Terrelle Pryor tore a finger ligament in Sundays loss and could miss the final two games. Jackson said Pryors availability will be based on whether he can tolerate the pain. A person familiar with the injury told the AP that Pryor will have surgery following the season. ... TE Randall Telfer sprained an ankle against the Bills and his status for the Chargers wont be known until later in the week.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Demarcus Lawrence Cowboys Jersey .

That left plenty of energy for pitching books and swatting away free agency questions.

MILWAUKEE -- With the Milwaukee Brewers clinging to a one-run lead with one out in the ninth, Chicago Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo drove a ball to deep center field off closer Tyler Thornburg.Drifting back, outfielder Keon Broxton timed his leaped and stretched above the wall to make the catch.Broxton pumped his fist as he landed and Thornburg then got the final out to preserve Milwaukees 2-1 victory Wednesday night.Jonathan Villar homered from both sides of the plate to account for the Brewers runs.I honestly didnt think it was going to go that far off the bat, Broxton said. I just jogged to where I thought it was going to be and tracked it all the way to the wall. I saw it coming down and I had a good chance to jump up and catch it.Milwaukee manager Craig Counsell described Broxtons catch with the game on the line as every outfielders dream.You could tell by the way Keon reacted. You dont get opportunities like that (very often), Counsell said.Chicago manager Joe Maddon said he knew that ball would carry to the fence as soon as it was hit.But that kid, Broxton, hes so athletic that he was able to go over it, Maddon said.Milwaukee, which took two of three in the series, got its first hit when Villar homered leading off the fourth. Villar homered again off Joe Smith (1-1), the sixth Chicago pitcher, leading off the eighth.I dont feel happy for me. I feel happy for the team because we won, Villar said. Thats Broxtons game. If he didnt take the ball away its a tie game.Corey Knebel (1-2) pitched a scoreless inning in relief to get the win. Thornburg notched his ninth save in 13 chances.Chicago starter Mike Montgomery faced the minimum number of batters through three innings.The Cubs loaded the bases with one out in the first against Milwaukee starter Matt Garza, but failed to score.Garza, facing his former team for the second time this season, retired 14 of 15 batters at one point before giving up a solo home run to Rizzo with two outs in the sixth.Garza gave up one run and three hits in six innings.I made one mistake, Garza said. You cant get sour orr you ruin the rhythm you are in right now.ddddddddddddarza has given up just two earned runs in 18 1/3 innings over his last three starts.Hes understood that he had to make adjustments, and hes understanding that this is the new him, Counsell said. Now hes at the point where he can have success being this guy.Montgomery lasted five innings, allowing one run and two hits.Montgomery, acquired by the Cubs on July 20 from Seattle in an effort to bolster their bullpen, gained a spot in the starting rotation when John Lackey went on the disabled list with a shoulder problem. He remained in the rotation after the Lackeys return on Sunday as the Cubs have temporarily opted to go with a six-man rotation.Milwaukee won for just the sixth time in the last 28 games against the Cubs.SLIDING BYRyan Braun tried to stretch a single into a double in the fourth but slid past second base and was called out when Cubs second baseman Ben Zobrist applied the tag.TRAINERS ROOMCubs: Reliever Justin Grimm left the game with an undisclosed illness after facing one batter in the sixth. ... Maddon thought about resting Rizzo but reconsidered. Watching him yesterday, he didnt look tired so I put him back in. I thought the day before (Monday) his bat looked a little bit off, Maddon said. But with the night game after the day game he got some good rest. We have a day off (Thursday) so I chose to play him today.UP NEXTCubs: Jon Lester (15-4, 2.61 ERA) gets the start as Chicago opens a three-game series at Houston on Friday. Lester took a no-hitter into the seventh inning in his last start on Friday against San Francisco and finished with a complete game three-hitter. He will make his second career start against Houston and first since June 2008.Brewers: Junior Guerra (7-3, 2.85 ERA) will take the mound as Milwaukee opens a four-game series at St. Louis on Thursday. Guerra is 0-2 with a 4.50 ERA in two career starts against St. Louis, both coming this season. ' ' '
