With their season on the brink of collapse, the Cincinnati Bengals found a way to win last week against Philadelphia. And the Bengals found a way to win without five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver A.J. Green in the lineup.Week 13 also was kind to the Cleveland Browns. They had a bye and coach Hue Jacksons winless squad sorely needed some time to regroup as they hope to avoid becoming the first team since the 2008 Detroit Lions to go 0-16. With quarterback Robert Griffin III starting this week for Cleveland, that may buoy the Browns spirits.On Sunday, the two intrastate rivals collide at 1 p.m. at Clevelands FirstEnergy Stadium on the banks of Lake Erie.Jackson did have this warning for his old team and the rest of the league on Wednesday.You better get us now because it wont be like this always, Jackson said of his 0-12 club. Weve got a lot of work ahead of us. I think were committed to doing it the right way and the other part of it is you have to do it.The Bengals (4-7-1) come to Cleveland having ended a four-game winless streak; they hadnt won since beating the Browns on Oct. 23. In between victories were three losses and an uninspiring tie along with even more uninspiring play.Bengals players are very aware that the Browns and Jackson would love to win their first game against them.You dont want to be the team to help them stop their streak, said defensive end Carlos Dunlap. For us its an AFC North game, against one of our old coaches. We know its personal for him and were going to approach it that way.Against the Eagles, quarterback Andy Dalton had his best game of the season when the Bengals needed it most. He passed for 332 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions.Dalton completed 74 percent of his passes and had a season-high passer rating of 130.0 to help the Bengals keep their slim postseason hopes alive.When there are new guys in there its going to take a little bit of time. It was definitely a big improvement this week and we have to keep going, Dalton said.Bengals coach Marvin Lewis also praised his young group of wide receivers for stepping up while Green recovers from a hamstring problem.I think we have to be most pleased with our young group of guys, Lewis said. Our receivers, particularly James Wright, Tyler Boyd, Cody Core, Alex Erickson, Brandon LaFell, and Tyler Eifert. They picked up the slack in a game where we had to throw the ball a little bit more than anticipated. Those guys did a very good job of executing and being efficient with it.Dalton might be licking his chops as he prepares for a Browns defense that has given up a league-high 28 touchdown passes. The Cleveland defensive line has an anemic 17 sacks -- last in the league.No wonder Green, who has missed two games since being injured on the second play from scrimmage Nov. 20 against the Buffalo Bills, wants to return so quickly.He worked out on the rehab field during Cincinnatis practice Wednesday but was declared out on Friday.Greens one-handed catch in the middle of an end-zone scrum on a Hail Mary at the end of the first half highlighted Cincinnatis day full of big plays against the Browns in October.In that game, Cincinnati amassed 559 yards of offense against a porous Browns defense. Jeremy Hill rushed for a career-high 168 yards and scored on a 74-yard run.The Bengals have dominated Cleveland in four straight victories, holding the Browns to just 7.5 points per game in those contests.Having been the offensive coordinator for two years under Lewis and the Bengals, Jackson knows all too well what the Browns are up against.Theyre starting to play well, Jackson said Wednesday. The QB is playing well. Their defense is playing extremely well and they just beat a very good Philadelphia team.Despite their struggles, the Browns continue to play hard -- a testament to Jackson.Some of the years past, when youre sitting in this situation with poor records, the coach is imminently going to get fired, said left tackle and future Hall of Famer Joe Thomas. All the players on the team are going to get cut, traded or released and you know a bomb is going to get dropped on the organization in a month. I think the optimism and positivity and the effort you still see out there on a daily basis is because everybody here knows were working for something down the line in the future and its not just going to get destroyed at the end of the season.Still, with one of the youngest teams in the league, a bevy of draft picks and the expectation of being well below the salary cap, there will be plenty of opportunity to shore up the lack of talent on next years team.In essence, players are auditioning for jobs next year, and one player who will be closely followed is Griffin.He hasnt played a whole lot of football this year, Jackson said, but he will be playing Sunday.For his part, Griffin wants the chance to prove he belongs, and he is all in as a Cleveland Brown.It is just an opportunity to get to play in the NFL with a group of guys that do not deserve to be 0-12, he said. I just want to come in, give the team as much of a spark as I possibly can, have fun and hopefully, we can go 4-0 because that is what we have been working for in this last quarter of the season.

Worcestershire 153 for 1 (Mitchell 86*, Fell 61* trail Northamptonshire 551 (Keogh 154, Crook 145, Barrett 114*) by 398 runsScorecard Northamptonshire tailender Chad Barrett completed a maiden century to mark his Specsavers County Championship debut on a record-breaking day against Worcestershire at New Road.Barrett came in at No. 10 and finished unbeaten on 114 as the newly crowned NaWest T20 Blast holders switched effectively to red ball cricket and amassed 551 all out in 144.1 overs.But Worcestershire launched a strong reply with skipper Daryl Mitchell and Tom Fell scoring half centuries in an unbroken stand of 145 as the home side reached 153 for 1 by the close.Barretts innings was the highest score by a Northants No. 10 in first class cricket, beating the 106 by Gus Williamson against Cambridge University in 1960.Barrett became the third century-maker of the innings as he and Steven Crook added 145 in 34 overs - the best Northamptonshire ninth-wicket stand in matches against Worcestershire. It surpassed the 137 by John Timms and Reg Partridge at Stourbridge in 1934.I couldnt have wished for a better Championship debut. Ive had to wait two years for my opportunity and it was a decent wicket and I had to make the most of it, Barrett said. We said wed try to get to 500 which is a big milestone and to get to three figures myself was my own milestone.Two years waiting to play a second first-class game is a long time and you think to yourself are you going to play another one?. When I got the nod, I thought when I have a bat or a bowl, Ive just got to show what I can do.Northamptonshire also registered their highest ever total at New Road, beating the 495 in 1922. Crooks 145 was his career best score, over-taking his 1442 not out versus Australia last summer.ddddddddddddEd Barnard struck in the first over of the day after Northants resumed on 345 for 6 when David Murphy was caught at second slip. Then Rory Kleinveldt became Joe Leachs 50th Championship victim of the campaign when trapped lbw - the second time the Worcestershire vice-captain has achieved the milestone.But Crook and Barrett then flayed the home attack and the former went to three figures off 142 balls with 15 fours. Barrett was involved in a bizarre finale in the battle for bonus points when blocking out the final five deliveries of the 110th over from Brett DOliveira when Northants required one more run for a fifth batting point.That was the only blip for the visitors until Crook turned DOliveira into the hands of deep square leg. Last man Ben Sanderson was dropped on nought at first slip off DOliveira with Barrett still one short of his century.But he reached the milestone soon afterwards with a cover drive for four off George Rhodes and in total he struck one six and 15 fours from his 152 ball innings.I had faith in Ben Sanderson while I got there, he said. I know he can hold a bat and is more than capable so it was a good wicket so I backed him all the way.Worcestershire began their reply needing 402 to avoid the follow on and soon lost DOliveira for a duck, caught at second slip off Sanderson.Mitchell and Fell then batted in untroubled fashion and Mitchell brought up a composed 82 ball half century with seven boundaries. Fell went to his fifty off 104 balls with a six and eight fours. By the close Mitchell had moved onto 86 and Fell 61.
