BEREA, Ohio -- That giant zero hanging on the Browns right now might as well be a bulls-eye.Nobody wants to lose to the NFLs only winless squad.At 0-13, Cleveland has become an unlikely target.Thats one of the challenges when you go this long without winning a game, Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas said.Youve gone from maybe a team that other teams are going to overlook to the team that youre definitely not going to get overlooked because teams dont want to be the team that lost to you, and they are going to circle that game.Three losses from a most imperfect season, the Browns will try to snap a losing streak stretching to last Dec. 13 on Sunday when they visit the Buffalo Bills, who have had their own struggles and whose coach, Rex Ryan, might be in a little trouble.A loss to the dismal Browns could seal Ryans fate.On Wednesday, Buffalo defensive tackle said the Bills arent looking past the Browns and promised victory.Thats just a guarantee, Dareus told the Buffalo News. We aint gonna be that team. Were not going to be the team that busts (the Browns streak). Nobody in the league wants that to happen (to them), no.Thomas faked disgust and anger when told about Dareus promise.I hate that guy! Thomas yelled through a smile. Im gonna kill him!Thomas, though, got somewhat serious when explaining the motivation behind Dareus pledge as its the same thing driving the Browns, who dont want to be remembered along with the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only 0-16 teams.The mindset were going to have is just the same way, he said. Were going to make them the team we break the streak on, so I think thats, as a football player, our competitive nature, thats the way we train ourselves to think every single week because you want to go in on that Sunday expecting to win.The Bills understand whats at stake. Two straight losses and five in their past seven games have damaged a promising season.They need to win out to have any chance of making the playoffs, so a loss to the Browns would be doubly devastating.We cant let that happen, wide receiver Sammy Watkins said. Itll look bad on everybody, not just Rex, but the organization, the players. Weve got to come out ready to fight and play a full battle because theyre going to come out and try to beat us.Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III, who will make just his second start since Sept. 11, isnt expecting any sympathy from the Bills.In fact, he believes theyll be more focused than if they were playing a 3-10 team.No one wants to be that team that gets beat by us because we dont have any wins right now, and everyone knows it, Griffin said.No one is just going to walk out there on the field and give us a win and say, `Here you go. We feel sorry for you. We will give you guys a win. Everyone is trying to kick us while we are down, so we are going to have to go take it.We are going to get everybodys best shot because nobody wants to lose to us. It is just a matter of us going out and putting a full game together.Thomas fondly recalled a visit to Buffalo in 2009, when the Browns beat the Bills 6-3 despite completing just two passes.The win snapped a 10-game losing streak dating to the previous season and was Clevelands only victory in a 1-11 start.It was like winning the Super Bowl, he said. That win was an awesome moment even though it was insignificant in the grand scheme of things, so certainly when we get that first win its going to be an exciting moment in the locker room for the players, probably only the players because it doesnt matter to anyone else. Were really battling hard to get that first win.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAir Max 270 Wholesale .

Louis Rams wide receiver Stedman Bailey last Sunday. The fine is the fourth this season for Goldson. He was fined $30,000 for a hit on the New York Jets Jeff Cumberland in Week 1.PHOENIX -- Arizona manager Chip Hale used a team meeting Thursday to stress a return to relentless baseball, and the Diamondbacks 12-inning victory on Saturday night was exactly what he was looking for.Just let it fly, he said Thursday.The Dodgers, on the other hand, thought they let one slip away Saturday.When Brandon Drury singled through a five-man infield with the bases loaded to drive in the winning run in a 2-1 win, it capped a game in which the Diamondbacks combined strong starting pitching, timely hitting and shutout work from their bullpen.We talked about going into the second half playing winning baseball and the wins and loses will take care of themselves, Hale said. That was a prime example. Clutch hitting when we needed it. We got a great start from Archie (Bradley). He really battled and did a great job of getting us through six innings and the bullpen was fantastic.Jake Lamb tied the score at 1 with a two-out, opposite-field double in the ninth inning off closer Kenley Jansen. Lamb had been 0-for-7 against Jansen in his career.Drury followed with the hit that helped Arizona (39-53) break a five-game losing streak and set up the rubber match of a three-game series on Sunday when Arizona left-hander Robbie Ray will face Dodgers right-hander Kenta Maeda.It was Drurys first hit with the bases loaded in five occurrences this season.The first time you are in that situation with the bases loaded, you sometimes can let it catch up to you, he said. Learning how to slow it down a little bit is huge. I was a still anxious, for sure, but I think I was able to control it a little better that I have in the past.Ray made a quality start against the Dodgers on April 14, giving up two runs in 6 1/3 innings, but did not get a decision. Maeda is 1-0 with a 1.59 ERA in two appearances against Arizona this year, although he has not made it through the sixth inning in either.ddddddddddddThe most important thing for us is just to reset and get it going, Hale said of the post-break season. Play the game like we know how to play it. Do the things you have to do.Situationally hit. Throw more strikes. Be able to concentrate late in an inning. Get signs. Different things that have been bugaboos for us right now. I feel like last year we were relentless. Just get back to that attitude.Bradley gave up one run in six innings while pitching around baserunners in all six innings, and six Arizona relievers gave up four hits in six scoreless innings. Randall Delgado got the victory when he got the only man he faced, Yasiel Puig, to ground out on a 3-1 pitch with the bases loaded in the top of the 12th.After getting a sesaon-high 18 hits in a 13-7 victory in the series opener on Friday, the Dodgers had 10 more hits but left 15 runners on base. They were 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position, the only hit coming when Justin Turner drove in Chase Utley from second with a single in the third inning.They were unable to take advantage of a stellar outing from Brandon McCarthy, who gave up three hits and allowed only one runner past first base in six innings of his third start since returning from Tommy John surgery. He struck out nine, did not walk a batter and got to only two three-ball counts. He faced one batter over the minimum.That outing was exciting for all of us, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Unfortunately, we couldnt get him the win. We had opportunities. We just couldnt get that big hit. ' ' '
