ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills are all but assured of extending the NFLs longest playoff drought. They are adamant about avoiding another dubious distinction -- becoming the first team in 2016 to lose to the Cleveland Browns.We aint gonna be that team, Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus said Wednesday. Thats just a guarantee.The Bills (6-7) and Browns (0-13) resume their Rust Belt rivalry on Sunday at New Era Field. Interest in the game is low, evidenced by tickets selling on the secondary market for as little as $7. But players on both teams are using the Browns winless record as motivation.When a team loses almost every game, it comes that question, who will be the team that they will beat, Bills running back LeSean McCoy said. You never want to be that team.Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III said, Everyones trying to kick us when were down, so we just have to go take it. Were going to get everybodys best shot because nobody wants to lose to us.Griffin is also trying to prove that he is still a viable starting quarterback. He struggled last week in his first start since returning from a fractured shoulder in the season opener, posting a 38.4 passer rating in the 23-10 loss to Cincinnati.But coach Hue Jackson is not yet ready to give up on Griffin.I am going to work through it and see where we are, Jackson said. That is the whole part of him playing, so we can evaluate where we are and have a good feel about it when the season is over. Lets go through this week and see where he is and see if he improved or not before we just write him off.As long as the Bills have even the slightest chance of making the playoffs, coach Rex Ryan wont write off his quarterback, Tyrod Taylor, either.Buffalo ranks last in the NFL in passing and management is reportedly ready to move on from Taylor after this season. The Bills have until March to decide whether to pick up the option on a contract signed before the season. Under terms of the deal, Taylor would be guaranteed more than $30 million in the next two seasons, or release the embattled quarterback and owe him nothing.The reason hes our starting quarterback is, in my opinion, he gives us the best chance to win, Ryan said. And thats what we signed up for. Were trying to win these games.The Bills have lost two in a row and even if they run the table to finish 9-7 for just the third time this century, they are unlikely to overcome their 12th place standing in the AFC to claim a wild-card spot.Until they officially announce us out or dead or whatever in the playoffs, we are going to try whatever it takes to win these games, Ryan said. We may have a one percent chance, or less than that, I dont know, but we are still going for it.Once eliminated from the playoffs, Ryan may be more inclined to get backup quarterbacks E.J. Manuel and rookie Cardale Jones on the field.Ryan will pick Buffalos starting quarterback for another week, at least, but his own job security is as tenuous as Taylors.Bills players have even begun to speculate on what changes will be made once the Bills officially miss the playoffs for the 17th year in a row.Of course guys sit there and talk and wonder what the situation is going to be, wide receiver Sammy Watkins said. We know if we lose what the situation is going to be like. And for me, Im trying to be here forever. Im not trying to start over with a new team in free agency. So my job is to really go out there and sell out and try to win for myself, for my name, and for this team. If anybody else isnt thinking that way, then thats a problem.Watkins is questionable with a foot injury and defensive tackle Kyle Williams (back) is also questionable.George Hill Jersey . William Carrier opened the scoring for Cape Breton (6-4-2), but Andrew Ryan tied the game and Brent Andrews put the Mooseheads (8-6-0) in front for good with a short-handed goal at 13:49 of the second period. Austin Croshere Jersey .J. Jefferson has been charged with assaulting his girlfriend. https://www.cheappacers.com/ . Ferrer, trying to win his fourth title on Mexican soil, will next play South Africas Kevin Anderson, who eliminated American Sam Querrey,7-6 (2), 6-4. Also Wednesday, Gilles Simon (6) of France beat Donald Young of the United States 6-4, 6-3, Ukraines Alexandr Dolgopolov downed Frenchman Jeremy Chardy 6-3, 6-4 and Croatias Ivo Karlovic defeated Dudi Sela of Israel 7-6 (4), 6-2. C. J. Miles Jersey . 10 VCU 85-67 on Thursday night at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. The Seminoles (4-0) have scored at least 80 points in each of their games. Fred Jones Jersey . The All-Pro lineman got the leg bent under him while trying to make a tackle during the first half of a 22-20 overtime loss at Miami on Thursday night. The medical staff initially thought hed torn the ligament, and the test a day later in Cincinnati confirmed it.CORVALLIS, Ore. -- Boosted by a pair of wins over ranked teams this season -- including last weekends dramatic victory over Utah -- the California Golden Bears are trying to stay vigilant against Oregon State.The Golden Bears (3-2, 1-1) visit the Beavers (1-3, 0-1) on Saturday, with Oregon State still looking for its first conference win under coach Gary Andersen, now in his second season.I think thereve been a lot of lessons learned this year on both sides of the ball. I think were prepared, to hopefully play back-to-back weeks just like we did last week, which we havent done this year, Cal quarterback Davis Webb said.Webb, a Texas Tech graduate transfer, took over this season following the departure of top NFL draft pick Jared Goff. He leads the nation with 2,143 passing yards and 22 touchdowns.He earned Pac-12 offensive Player of the Week honors for throwing four touchdown passes, all of more than 24 yards, in Cals 28-23 victory over Utah last Saturday. The victory over the Utes was capped by a defensive stand that stopped Zach Moss from the 1-yard line on the final play.The win was Cals second straight over a ranked team. The Bears also beat then-No. 11 Texas 50-43 on Sept. 17.Oregon State lost 47-6 last weekend to surprising Colorado, which currently sits atop the Pac-12 South standings. The Beavers lone victory has come at home against Idaho State.There have been comparisons between Andersens start at Oregon State and coach Sonny Dykes start at Cal. Dykes, now in his fourth year with the Golden Bears, went 1-11 in his first season, while Andersen went 2-10. Colorados Mike MacIntyre is similarly seeing results in his fourth season, after going 4-8 and 2-10 in his first two seasons.STICKING WITH GARRETSON: In his weekly media address, Andersen said hes sticking with starting quarterback Darell Garretson, despite his struggles against Colorado, when he was 5-for-16 for 55 yards. He was replaced by freshman Conor Blount, who was 8-for-16 for 45 yards with two interceptions.The decisions that I make as we go through timee, I dont expect everybody to 100 percent agree with them and kids sometimes get frustrated, Andersen said.dddddddddddd But Darells not looking over his shoulder in any way, shape or form. He understands that and he knows that, and the things Darell and I talk about and the decisions I make are to make sure I help Darell become the best quarterback that he can be.HURTING SECONDARY: Oregon State freshman cornerback Jay Irvine has been ruled out against Cal after hurting his shoulder last week. Nickelback Dwyane Williams, who missed the game against the Buffs, is questionable with a hamstring injury. Last week, safety Devin Chappell and outside linebacker Bright Ugwoegbu were pressed into duty as nickel backs.Im proud of those kids to accept that role, have an understanding of what to do, how to do it and walk in there in a very difficult spot and really hold their own pretty good, Andersen said.LOSING RAMBO: Dykes made it official this week: safety Evan Rambo will miss the rest of the season because of a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The promising sophomore starter, who was hurt in the Sept. 24 loss to Arizona State, had 10 tackles, an interception and a pass breakup this season. He was replaced against Utah by Luke Rubenzer, who had four tackles and a pass breakup.SPEAKING OF RUBENZER: Hes a former quarterback for Cal, and he may be called upon during the game to defend Oregon State sophomore receiver Seth Collins, himself the former Beavers quarterback. Rubenzer switched to defense when it became clear he wasnt going to get much opportunity behind Goff. Collins was the starting quarterback for Oregon State at the beginning of last season, but he was dogged by injuries. Although he mulled transferring, he returned to the Beavers and embraced his new role.THE LAST TIME: Cal leads the series 36-32. Last season, the Golden Bears ended a four-game losing streak with a 54-24 win over the Beavers. ' ' '
