Jaguars at Browns
THE STORY: One team looks to halt a losing streak while the other aims for its first winning streak of the season when the Jacksonville Jaguars visit the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Cleveland has lost three straight contests, including a 13-12 setback against the St. Louis Rams last Sunday, and five of its last six. Jacksonville is coming off its second victory in three games, a 17-3 triumph over the hapless Indianapolis Colts last Sunday. The win was the Jaguars' first in five road contests this season but second in three games overall.
TV: CBS, 1 p.m. ET. LINE: even, O/U: 34.
ABOUT THE JAGUARS (3-6): Maurice Jones-Drew ranks fourth in the league with 854 rushing yards. He posted his third 100-yard performance of the season last week in a victory over the Colts. Cornerback Rashean Mathis was one of three players place on injured reserve this week with a torn ACL. Mathis suffered the injury while covering Pierre Garcon in last Sunday's triumph. Linebacker Kyle Bosworth (hand) and tackle Eben Britton (back) also were put on IR.
ABOUT THE BROWNS (3-6): Chris Ogbonnaya likely will be Cleveland's feature back as Peyton Hillis (hamstring) and Montario Hardesty (calf) are questionable with injuries. Ogbonnaya rushed for a career-high 90 yards in last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Tight end Benjamin Watson is four receptions away from 100 with the club. Cleveland leads the league in passing yards allowed per game with a 163.3 average.
EXTRA POINTS:
1. Jacksonville is averaging a mere 12.8 points per game. Only the St. Louis Rams (12.6) have been worse offensively.
2. Cleveland has scored more than 17 points just once this season.
3. Jaguars rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert has thrown for more than 200 yards only once in eight games this year.
