CLEVELAND -- Times up for the Browns, who look as if they could use another preseason game -- or two -- this summer.With the season opener against Philadelphia 10 days away, Cleveland played its offensive starters the entire first quarter, but only managed a short touchdown drive against Chicagos backups in a 21-7 loss to the Bears on Thursday night.Quarterback Robert Griffin III led Cleveland to its TD following a fumbled punt as the Browns starting offense ended the preseason on a positive note before getting ready to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sept 11.The preseason is over, said first-year coach Hue Jackson, who decided to play his starters after a dismal game in Tampa last week. The season is here. Obviously, we would like to finish a little better.KaDeem Carey scored on a 1-yard run in the first half, rookie Jordan Howard had a 16-yard TD run and Robbie Gould kicked three field goals as the Bears (1-3) avoided a winless preseason.Not the Browns, who ended a tumultuous few days with a performance that did little to excite their fans or provide much hope this season wont be like so many previous ones.In the closing minutes, Jackson pulled Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas and star cornerback Joe Haden close on the sideline and told them what he expected going forward.Because its time, Jackson said, explaining the meeting. The grind starts now, what its truly all about starts next Sunday in Philadelphia. I want them to understand its going to take work. Its going to take their leadership, their ability to rally their teammates to do what we need to do. Were going to Philadelphia and we expect to win the game.Isaiah Crowell had a 4-yard TD for the Browns (0-4), who left Griffin and the other offensive starters on the field for three series. RG3, attempting to revive his career in Cleveland after an ugly departure from Washington, went 4 of 8 for 31 yards.Griffins night would have been over after the second possession, but the Bears fumbled a punt, giving Cleveland the ball at the Chicago 18. He threw two incompletions in the end zone before Crowell squirted in on third down to give the Browns a 7-3 lead.Now were able to focus on what we do best, Griffin said. Its real. Its about wins and losses now.Unlike Jackson, Bears coach John Fox rested his starters, allowing him to get a longer look at some of the players fighting for roster spots.Brian Hoyer seems to have nailed down Chicagos No. 2 QB job behind Jay Cutler. The former Browns starter finished his preseason by going 12 of 16 for 112 yards. He only had one starter with him on offense -- wide receiver Kevin White, who had four catches for 57 yards.It was a major step for White, who missed his rookie season with a broken leg.We felt like we needed another good outing and felt like he delivered, Fox said This game is about confidence and experiences. He hasnt had a lot of them. Hes shown flashes, but he needed some more playing time and I thought he did well.GORDONS FINALEBrowns WR Josh Gordon had three catches for 29 yards in his final game before beginning a four-game drug suspension.ROOKIE WATCHBears: OLB Leonard Floyd, the No. 9 overall pick, was one of three rookies to start. Floyd appeared to get poked in the eye during the second quarter.Browns: WR Corey Coleman made his first catch of the preseason, but the No. 15 pick also dropped a pass on a crossing route that had the potential to be a big play.POSITION BATTLESBears: WR Cameron Meredith caught six passes for 46 yards and may have secured a backup spot behind White and Alshon Jeffery.Browns: WR Taylor Gabriel helped his chances of making the roster with a 37-yard punt return in the third quarter. He and Andrew Hawkins could be in trouble after the Browns drafted four wide receivers.INJURY UPDATEBears: DE Cornelius Washington and LB Danny Mason sustained knee injuries in the first half and didnt return.Browns: RB Rajion Neal was carted off in the fourth quarter after appearing to suffer a serious leg injury.---AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Wesley-Johnson-Jersey/ . The Nashville Predators were glad their captain was still on their side. Weber had a goal and two assists, and Roman Josi scored the shootout winner to lift the Predators to a 4-3 win over the Flyers on Thursday night. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Eric-Tomlinson-Jersey/ . Fred Couples, captain of the U.S. side, put it all into perspective. "We know whos in charge," he said. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Darryl-Roberts-Jersey/ . "Were just throwing s--- at the wall hoping something sticks," said Tortorella about the possible line combinations for Fridays game against Columbus. The Canucks have lost five straight games and six of their last seven, leaving them in a logjam in the Pacific Division, currently sitting fifth - good for ninth in the Western Conference. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/ . Its sharpness matched my mind. This was no night to go to sleep. http://www.jetsrookiestore.com/Jets-Robby-Anderson-Jersey/ . Tracey comes to the Blue Bombers after spending over a decade with Queens University. Most recently he was the schools assistant football coach. Oh, what might have been. Just a month ago, this had the makings of a strength-on-strength matchup featuring the best offense in baseball versus the best 1-2-3 rotation in the American League. However, late season injuries to Cleveland starters Carlos Carrasco and Danny Salazar have the Indians scrambling for a strategy to neutralize the Red Soxs potent lineup.Its refreshing to see new blood in the playoffs. The Indians make their first appearance in the Division Series in nine years, and theyll welcome perennial American League East cellar dwellers, the Boston Red Sox, to town. We kid, we kid! But the Red Sox did finish in last place in their division in three of the past four years. Of course, the exception was 2013, when they captured their third title of the David Ortiz era. This has truly been a boom or bust franchise for five seasons.The Red Sox send 2016 Cy Young Candidate and 22--game winner Rick Porcello to the mound, and Cleveland counters with Trevor Bauer.dddddddddddd While this will be Bauers first taste of October baseball, Porcello has made eight appearances, including two starts during his six seasons with the Tigers. His 4.41 ERA in 16 postseason innings was reflective of his regular-season results and his skill set -- at least until this year, when he emerged as the unlikely ace and stopper of the Red Sox rotation.Our rotation of baseball handicappers hope their regular-season work carries over to the postseason as well. For the nightcap of Thursdays two ALDS previews, were rolling out our own version of a 1-2-3 rotation with Joe Peta, Andrew Lange and Dave Tuley, and those three will supply a pick for the series and Game 1.
