CLEVELAND -- Eli Manning has started 194 consecutive games for the New York Giants, a remarkable run of durability that has kept them relevant for more than a decade.At this point, the Cleveland Browns would settle for one QB making it through a full game.Since making his first start on Nov. 21, 2004, Manning has not missed a game, the longest streak among active NFL players -- at any position -- and the third-longest for a quarterback in league history. Only Brett Favre (294) and Mannings older brother, Peyton (227), have been as sturdy behind center.Lets compare that to the Browns, who have gone through 21 starting QBs over the same span.In their game notes, the Giants erroneously stated the Browns have used 24 starters in Mannings era.But, hey, whos counting?I dont really know how to take that, Manning said earlier this week when told about the stunning disparity as the Giants (7-3) prepared to visit the Browns (0-11), whose quarterback carousel has been whizzing at a record rate in 2016.On Sunday, quarterback Josh McCown returns to Clevelands starting lineup, replacing rookie Cody Kessler who sustained his second concussion in less than a month last week and is only playing this season because the Browns cant protect any of their quarterbacks.Theyve started three and Cleveland has used six QBs in 2016 if you include wide receiver Terrelle Pryor, who started nine games as Oaklands quarterback in 2013 before changing positions to salvage his career.The revolving door at quarterback has only made things more challenging for Browns first-year coach Hue Jackson, who was already strapped with an inexperienced roster and has been forced to adjust on the fly.For now, Jackson can only dream of stability.He is out there all the time, Jackson said while praising Mannings toughness, timing and accountability. That is what gives you a chance to be 7-3.As expected, Manning downplayed his steadiness and spread around the praise for his permanence to others the same way he dissects a defense.I obviously give credit to my offensive line and running backs, receivers getting open quickly, he said. I try not to hang back there too long and take too many hits. I know I work hard in the offseason on flexibility and strength and knowing my protections and having a plan on my pass reads and try not to take unnecessary hits. I want to be out there each and every week for my team, for my ownership and coaches and try to put us in a situation to win each game.Here are some other things to note as the Browns try to end the worst start in their 66-year history:BE CAREFUL: The Giants have never faced a team as bad as the Browns -- record-wise.New York hasnt played a 0-11 team in its rich history. The closest was a matchup with a 0-10 Dallas team on Dec. 4, 1960, a game that ended in a 31-31 tie. The Giants are 9-3 against teams 0-4 or worse since the 1970 merger.Still, New York coach Ben McAdoo has been preaching to his team the importance of not taking the Browns lightly.The records in this league, you can throw out the window, he said. Cleveland is a young and improving team. They are hungry to win. A lot of ballgames come down to the very end, a handful of them are within a score. We need to be ready to go.RG3 AND OUT: Robert Griffin III returned to practice this week and the quarterback could return and play in one of Clevelands last four games.The 26-year-old broke a bone in his left shoulder in the season opener, a setback that only reinforced the notion hes injury prone. Griffin, who signed a two-year deal with Cleveland, still needs to be cleared for contact, but the Browns have a bye next week, giving him more time to get ready.HEY, BROTHER: The Nassibs are reuniting over the holiday weekend.New York backup quarterback Ryan Nassib has never lined up across from his brother, Browns rookie defensive end Carl Nassib, and that wont happen unless Manning is hurt or taken out. Still, the brothers are excited to be on the same field for the first time.Browns defensive coordinator Ray Horton joked that this weeks goal is for Carl to sack Ryan.That has always been a dream of mine, Carl said.BALL HAWK: Giants safety Landon Collin is on a roll. The second-year pro from Alabama has five interceptions in the past four games, including a game-changing touchdown return against the Rams in London on Oct. 23 and a game-saving pick last week to close out the Bears. Hes the first Giants player with five picks in a four-game span in a single season since Willie Williams in 1968.He just has a nose for the football, McCown said. He flies around, plays physical and is a really intelligent football player. I certainly understand why people would be putting his name out there for the player of the year on defense because he shows up on tape.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Boyd Gordon Jersey . -- Hunter Smith scored the winner with just 12 seconds remaining in the third period as the Oshawa Generals edged the host Sarnia Sting 5-4 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

LONDON -- When Englands players froze on the field at the start of the second half against Spain, it was to celebrate Jamie Vardy establishing a two-goal lead by contributing to the mannequin challenge.When they froze again in the closing minutes at Wembley Stadium, it was unintentional as Spain ran through the English defense to score twice and avoid defeat.A counterattack was completed in the 89th minute by Iago Aspas, who curled the ball around defender John Stones and off the far post to mark his Spain debut with a goal. In the fifth minute of stoppage time, Isco brought the ball down on his chest and went past Eric Dier before shooting through substitute goalkeeper Tom Heatons legs.And the Spanish even managed to outdo England after Tuesdays 2-2 friendly draw, freezing in exaggerated poses in the dressing room to play their own part in the mannequin internet craze with a 56-second video that was swiftly uploaded.Spain certainly had the last word as Julen Lopetegui signed off from 2016 with an unbeaten start in his six games as coach.England counterpart Gareth Southgate was completing his audition after four games as interim coach. Letting a two-goal lead slip to a second-string Spain side will alarm the English Football Association but Southgate is still expected to be handed the job on a permanent basis rather than returning to the under-21s.The Spain setback will rankle but Southgate is still unbeaten in his four games at the helm, including two wins and a draw in World Cup qualifying.Ive proved I can manage big matches, that I can tactically, with the help of my staff, prepare a team to play against a top side and give them a tough test, said Southgate, whose previous senior management role ended seven years ago at Middlesbrough.I feel every situation Ive been through, and many have been complex and potential powder kegs, weve coped with very well. Im pleased with how weve coped with it all, really.Southgate assumed the job in a difficult situation. Sam Allardyce replaced Roy Hodgson after Euro 2016 but he was ditched after only onne game over unguarded comments to undercover reporters.ddddddddddddI took over at a moment of instability for everybody, and weve brought stability back and built a platform for the team going forward, Southgate said. In terms of the remit, weve fulfilled that.The former England defender should have headed into meetings about his future with FA bosses with a victory.It was the perfect start against Spain. Adam Lallana played in a crisp ball for Vardy, who was then brought down by goalkeeper Pepe Reina. Lallana converted from the penalty spot in the 9th minute to make it three goals in three games after failing to score in his previous 26 internationals, but the Liverpool midfielder was forced off injured 20 minutes later.Spain responded to going behind by rejigging the defense, switching from three at the back to four.We tried to play three and then two wing backs, five at the back. It didnt work, Lopetegui said through a translator. The precise thing we tried to avoid was England catching us out in the way that they did for the move leading up to the penalty.So we suffered a little bit and thats when we decided to change things, went four at the back and restructured slightly because we know England are very, very fast on the break.And Spain got caught out again three minutes into the second half. Captain Jordan Henderson whipped in a cross that Vardy met with a diving header to end a 14-game goal drought for England and Leicester.Surrounded by downbeat Spain players, Vardy decided to indulge in a bit of fun. He stretched out his left arm while Jesse Lingard, Raheem Sterling and Theo Walcott also froze around downbeat Spain players on the Wembley Stadium field.But Spain had the last laugh thanks to Aspas and Isco.It was an ugly game, a tough game, Lopetegui said. But we reacted well.And for two teams who were eliminated from the European Championship in the round of 16, it avoided a miserable end to the year. ' ' '
