ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The bumbling Cleveland Browns are two losses short from becoming the NFLs second team to go 0-16 in one season.LeSean McCoy had a season-best 153 yards rushing and scored twice, and the Buffalo Bills kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 33-13 win on Sunday.The Browns dropped to 0-14, matching the second-worst start to a season set by the 1976 Tampa Bay Buccaneers and 1980 New Orleans Saints. The 2008 Detroit Lions , meanwhile, are the NFLs only team to go without a win in a 16-game season.Cleveland has also lost 17 straight dating to last year, moving into a tie with the St. Louis Rams (2008-09) and Houston Oilers (1982-83) for the leagues sixth-longest skid. The Browns have now gone a calendar year since their last win, a 24-10 victory over San Francisco on Dec. 13, 2015.The Browns have been so bad they havent had a lead in 17-plus quarters, dating to a 7-6 edge in the third quarter of a 28-7 loss at Baltimore on Nov. 10.One consolation for the Bills was they at least backed up defensive tackle Marcell Dareus guaranteeing Buffalo wouldnt be the first team to lose to Cleveland this season.The game was played before a sparse crowd, befitting of two teams having little on the line and two franchises enduring lengthy stretches of futility.The Browns have enjoyed just one winning season since last making the playoffs in 2002.Despite the win, the Bills (7-7) are in jeopardy of extending the NFLs longest active playoff drought to 17 seasons. Buffalo doesnt control its own playoff future and could be eliminated from contention if Denver defeats New England later in the afternoon.Coach Rex Ryans job security also remains in question beyond this season, his second in Buffalo. Hes taking heat for a defense that continues to play inconsistently.Last week, the Bills surrendered a franchise-worst 236 yards rushing to LeVeon Bell in a 27-20 loss to Pittsburgh. The week before that, Buffalo squandered a 24-9 third-quarter lead in a 38-24 loss at Oakland.McCoy broke the game open by scoring on 3- and 8-yard runs on consecutive possessions spanning the third and fourth quarters. His first came immediately after the Browns cut Buffalos lead to 17-10 when Robert Griffin III scored on an 18-yard run on Clevelands opening drive of the second half.Mike Gillislee also scored on a 3-yard run to help Buffalo set a franchise record of scoring 27 TDs rushing this season. Thats one more than the mark set in 1975.Buffalo quarterback Tyrod Taylor went 17 of 24 for 174 yards and a 19-yard touchdown pass to Charles Clay.Griffin finished 17 of 28 for 196 yards and was sacked five times.BAD START: The Browns opening drive went nowhere. Cleveland netted minus-yards on offense, including an offensive holding penalty against Jonathan Cooper. Griffin couldnt even complete an easy pass over the middle by throwing behind a wide-open Duke Johnson Jr. on third down.If that wasnt enough, Britton Colquitts punt hit teammate Briean Boddy-Calhoun in the back. Boddy-Calhoun then ran into Brandon Tate, even though the Bills returner had signaled a fair catch, leading to a 15-yard penalty against the Browns rookie.SCRAMBLING: Griffin scored on a nifty 18-yard run in which he was flushed from the pocket, outraced linebacker Jerry Hughes and had enough momentum to dive across the goal line after being hit by linebacker Preston Brown.Taylor responded by showing off his scrambling abilities on the next drive. Avoiding a sack, he raced along the right sideline and tip-toed his way for a 28-yard gain to set up McCoys 3-yard touchdown run.BIG HIT: Griffin showed he can take a big hit in making just his second start since missing 11 games with a broken bone in his left shoulder. In the third quarter, Griffin scrambled out of trouble and completed a 28-yard pass to Gary Barnidge. Griffin was bowled over by linebacker Zach Brown just as he released the ball.Griffin got up and continued playing, while Brown was flagged 15 yards for roughing the passer.UP NEXTBrowns: Host San Diego on Saturday.Bills: Host Miami on Saturday.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Vapormax Plus Cheap . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Deep in the second day of the decathlon, a rare hint of vulnerability from Ashton Eaton gave his rivals an unlikely glimmer of hope.The man known as the worlds greatest all-around athlete had failed twice at a low height in the pole vault and faced a final attempt in the scorching afternoon sun at the Olympic Stadium on Thursday. His wife, Brianne Theisen-Eaton, who had already won Olympic heptathlon bronze for Canada, was looking on anxiously, doubting there could be any crack in his composure.An unlikely chance for his rivals to finally beat him?Forget it.That was the moment I thought ... your whole life has been about this, Eaton said. Getting ready for this. What are you going to do?His third attempt at 4.90 meters was perfection, and he went on to clear 5.20 and to make sure his invincibility in the 10-event competition would continue.If there was any further doubt about his mettle, the javelin throw did away with that, too. After a bad first throw, he crept closer to the top mark of main challenger Kevin Mayer of France and made sure the concluding 1,500 meters was only a race for the Olympic record.With a final thrust across the line he tied the mark of 8,893 points the Czech Roman Sebrle had set at the 2004 Athens Games. One second either way would have made the difference.He went into the competition aiming to beat his world record, but expecting such a feat each time he competes just shows the mindset of the 28-year-old American. His inability to produce a record on demand showed he is merely human.Grimacing in pain for the lactic acid building in his legs, Eaton immediately went over to congratulate silver medalist Mayer.To be so close to a world-record holder, a man so gentle and humble, that already was exceptional, Mayer said.Eaton remained unbeaten in major competitions since he was left with silver at the 2011 world championshipss.dddddddddddd And a second straight Olympic title puts him among only a few of the greats. Asked whether that put him in exclusive company, he said: The decathlon is exclusive company.And even if its true that the decathlon requires traits of self-centered focus, Eaton remains a U.S. Olympic team member first and foremost.So when Kerron Clement was running the 400-meter hurdles final as the decathletes were competing in the discus throw, he couldnt hold himself back when his roommate took gold and crumbled to the ground in exhaustion.He ran over onto the track and put his hands on Clements back with heartfelt congratulations. I felt somebody, Clement said. I was on the ground, exhausted.For long, it has been Eatons knack to be better in giving than receiving.Sometimes it can turn against him.During the heptathlon competition, he sat in the stands with a Canadian cap, showing support for his wife. Some accused him of being un-American and were critical.It stung. After all, this is a proud athlete who already had the national anthem play at five major global championships.Have I not represented USA well? Yet u demand more. Ur respect is hard earned, Eaton tweeted, defending himself and his wife. I support the country that produced my wife.When a Canadian, Damian Warner took the lead in the opening 100 on Wednesday, Eaton immediately responded by taking the lead on the second event. He never looked back.On Friday, the U.S. anthem will be played in Eatons honor again during the victory ceremony.Still, seeing his wife get bronze was just as special.It was unbelievable. I was glad I got to watch every second of it, and she is a massive inspiration to me, he said. For us to have done this together is ... and then he sighed, lost for words. ' ' '
