he believes hes grown stronger defensively in recent weeks.

BEREA, Ohio -- Theres snow, gusting winds and temperatures in the low 30s forecast for Sundays game between the Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers. Case Keenum Jersey .Bone-chilling football weather.For Cleveland rookie quarterback Cody Kessler, it may not feel any colder than last week in Baltimore.Kessler got benched in the second half by Browns coach Hue Jackson, who wasnt getting the production he needed from his young QB and pulled him in favor of veteran Josh McCown. The decision didnt produce a win as the Browns (0-10) were beaten 28-7, assuring the worst start in team history and moving closer to a 0-16 season.The sudden switch stung Kessler. But after a long weekend following the Thursday night game to reflect -- and a meeting with Jackson to clear up any confusion -- the 23-year-old believes it will only make him better.Its hardest after the game, Kessler said of the hurt he felt. But youve got to move on. You cant let it stick in your head, you cant let it continue to bother you, or else thats what youre going to think about. But at the same time you learn from it.And watching that film against Baltimore, things that I wish I couldve done better, different things like that. Its something that you want to move on from, but at the same time carry with you to learn from.A third-round pick who wasnt expected to play at all this season, Kessler has given the Browns glimpses of promise, of potentially being the long-sought answer to their quarterback problems.Hes a competent game manager, throws with accuracy and doesnt force passes where they dont belong.However, Jackson wants more from the position -- a playmaker that can stretch defenses with a deep pass or escape pocket pressure and make a game-changing play.Kessler hasnt done that, which is why Jackson isnt cutting him any slack. The first-year coach is demanding more from Kessler as the Browns, who have lost 13 in a row going back to last season, seek that elusive win.And while Jackson remains tough on his starter, he feels fans and media might want to back off on criticism of Kessler even though the coach is the one who created the drama by replacing him.Lets let the guy play and lets see what it will be when its all said and done, Jackson said Thursday. He is a young player. He is a rookie. He is in a tough division, played against some of the best defenses in football.Everything is not going to go perfect for him, and it just does not, but I think sometimes when you pull a rookie quarterback everybody goes, `Oh, my gosh, what is this? That happens. This is the National Football League. My job is to win football games. It is not anything else. It is not a popularity contest.This is, I am trying to win every chance I walk out there. If I think there is something I need to do to help our football team win, then that is what I am going to do. I dont care what position it is.Kessler came away from his meetings with Jackson with a better understanding of expectations.I have to play better, he said. I have to extend drives more. I have to do better on third down. I have to be able to finish drives and eliminate three-and-outs. That stuff as a quarterback you learn. You have to continue to put drives together. At the end of the day, coach Jackson has been awesome for me. He has done so much for me.A victory would do a lot for both Jackson and Kessler. Until that comes, Kessler intends to play free and easy and not worry about the potential of Jackson taking him out.You cant feel like that, he said. You cant play scared. You cant play timid. You have to go out and focus on that next moment, that next game, next play and you have to improve on it.Game notes Clevelands endless chase to find a franchise quarterback has held the franchise back. Jackson said its his mission to fix that. I think well do that, he said. Thats why I am here. I came here with that thought in mind that were going to solve this quarterback issue thats been here. Is the guy on our roster now? Were going to find that out. Is the guy somewhere else? Were going to find that out, too. Thats the beautiful part of it, of trying to solve that and I think we will.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Joe Theismann Jersey . LOUIS -- Lance Lynn was one of the more enthusiastic participants as the St. Sonny Jurgensen Jersey . The giant slalom world champion slipped during her first run in the morning, landing on her back and then twisting forward before getting her leg caught in the protective material on the side of the slope. http:///...pierschbacher-jersey .ca. Kerry,  Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count?  All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. TORONTO -- To help Auston Matthews through the first slump of his rookie season, Toronto coach Mike Babcock has turned to Sidney Crosby and Henrik Zetterberg.Matthews piled up six goals and 10 points in his first six games, including a historic four-goal outing in his NHL debut. The 19-year-old Matthews was still tied for second Tuesday among all rookies in scoring (12 points), four points behind Patrik Laine.But Matthews has no goals and two assists in the past nine games and Babcock is using video of Crosby and Zetterberg to do some tweaking with his young star.In one-on-one sessions, Babcock showed Matthews how Zetterberg, the long-time Red Wings star, gets the puck back just by standing in the right places defensively. He showed Matthews how when Crosby got the puck, he lured the defense out of position and then didnt hesitate to make a play.Babcock has seen subtle adjustments from Matthews over the past couple weeks, particularly in the faceoff circle. The Arizona native won 43 percent of the draws in the opening five games, 53 percent inn the following five and 61 percent in the last five. Ryan Anderson Jersey. What hes telling you already is he likes having the puck, Babcock said. Hes sick and tired of chasing it already. So then the next thing hes going to figure out if he stops in the right places on defense and puts his stick in the right place, the offensive players are going to keep giving it back to him and then his skill-set is going to come out.But the hardest part for a kid when you come in the National Hockey League is you never get the puck.Matthews said he believes hes grown stronger defensively in recent weeks. He also leads Toronto with 58 shots, though he last scored Oct. 25 against Tampa, a string of nine games.In our situation we need him to be a dominant, dominant center for us, Babcock said. We think hes going to be by Christmas time. We think hes a very good player already. But we think he can be lights out both with and without the puck.
