BALTIMORE -- Just two weeks ago, the Baltimore Ravens had lost four straight and were working on their second offensive coordinator of the season.Now theyre alone in first place in the AFC North and coming off their most lopsided victory in two years.After the Ravens (5-4) used an impressive second half to roll past the winless Cleveland Browns 28-7 on Thursday night, Joe Flacco took stock of the situation and smiled.It feels good. Its Thursday night and weve got the weekend off, the quarterback said. Its a lot of fun being part of winning football. Its one of the toughest things to do in the world, to win a game in the NFL.Oh, dont the Browns know it. Cleveland has lost the first 10 games of a season for the first time since it joined the league in 1950, and inched closer to joining the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only 0-16 team in NFL history.Theyre down, but the Browns havent quit.There are better days ahead for this group, said tight end Seth DeValve, who scored Clevelands lone touchdown. We are not flinching and we are not giving up. These guys are working hard every day to get a win.DeValves first NFL touchdown gave the Browns a 7-3 lead in the second quarter, but Flacco threw two touchdown passes in the third and another with 6:21 left to provide the Ravens with their second successive win.It was the first time this season the Ravens were involved in a game decided by more than eight points. It was also their most lopsided win since a 20-10 victory over Cleveland on Dec. 28, 2014.Some things we learned about the Ravens and Browns:SUGGS IS BACK: Despite tearing his left biceps last month, Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs continues to excel.After Cleveland inserted backup quarterback Josh McCown midway through the third quarter, Suggs beat his man and hit McCowns arm as he threw, setting up an interception by teammate Jerraud Powers at the Browns 40.In the fourth quarter, Suggs stripped McCown to force a fumble recovered by Baltimore.Ive been around for 14 years, but I still feel young, Suggs said. I have played with a torn biceps before. I have come back from a torn Achilles before. So I guess its just in my DNA. My mom and dad did something special when they made me.CONFIDENT IN KESSLER: Though rookie Cody Kessler was replaced in the third quarter by McCown, Browns coach Hue Jackson said Kessler would start in Clevelands next game against Pittsburgh in 10 days.Absolutely, Im still going to play (Kessler), Jackson said. Hes a young player and Im going to put him back out there.Jackson said he removed Kessler because I wanted a spark.So even though theyre winless, the Browns dont have a quarterback controversy on their hands.FINDING THE END ZONE: On a night when Ravens receiver Steve Smith caught his 78th career touchdown pass, teammate Breshad Perriman was overjoyed with his first.The second-year receiver, who missed all of his rookie season after sustaining a knee injury on his first day of training camp, hauled in Flaccos 27-yard pass with 6:21 to play.Referees reviewed the catch, but in the end determined Perriman maintained control of the ball as he rolled over in the end zone.It was a complete blessing, Perriman said. (Ive been) working for it for a long time, and it finally came today. (Its) just how long it took to get here and all the work you had to put in. All the stuff Ive been through.SECOND THOUGHTS: The Browns inability to contain the opposition after halftime -- a season-long issue -- resurfaced again.The Ravens outscored them 22-0 after the break. That gives Clevelands foes a 157-51 edge in the second half and overtime this season.Jackson cant explain it, and his players are getting tired of addressing the problem.This is several games now where we had the lead in the first half and we werent able to finish them off in the second half, offensive tackle Joe Thomas said. Thats something we will look at here over the next 10 days.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAndy Isabella Jersey . The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night.

Lou Williams scored 25 points and the Hawks continued their offensive upswing as they rolled to an easy 118-85 victory over the Jazz on Friday night, winning their third straight and for the fourth time in five games.

The Browns coaching search remains incomplete.TUCSON, Ariz. -- Arizona had a prolonged competition at quarterback and it still may not be over even after Anu Solomon started the opener against BYU.The Wildcats may not have a choice for their home opener against Grambling State on Saturday.Arizona had to practice on a wet field on Wednesday due to storms in the area and Solomon apparently injured his knee. He is listed as questionable on the Wildcats injury report.Even if Solomon can play, Arizona may want to hold him out to avoid risking further injury against an FCS opponent.Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez already said Brandon Dawkins was going to get some playing time against Grambling State and now the sophomore could get much more.There were times I was close to bringing him on Saturday because he does bring a different element, Rodriguez said. I would have liked to get him in there for a few plays ... but going forward will be conscious of that.Solomon had a so-so first game of his junior season, making some plays but also struggling to move Arizonas offense until the fourth quarter. Solomon was sacked four times and held the ball too long at times, finishing 20 of 30 for 213 yards with two interceptions and no TD passes.Dawkins was Arizonas third-string quarterback last season, but flashed glimpses of what hes capable of. He played six games as a freshman, throwing for 334 yards -- 301 against rival Arizona State -- and two touchdowns while rushing for 179 yards and two more scores.Dawkins is more of a running threat than Solomon, so Grambling State not only has to prepare for a talented FBS opponent, but get ready for two styles of quarterbacks.Were going to go at it and try to play as perfect as we can possibly play and let the chips fall where they may, Grambling State coach Broderick Fobbs said. You name it, they have it. Its goinng to be the best opponent we face this year.ddddddddddddLets be honest. We have to play an A-plus game to have a chance.A few more things to look for when Arizona hosts Grambling State on Saturday night:TIGERS OPENER: The Tigers opened the season against a Division II opponent with expected results. Grambling State racked up 693 yards, including 402 rushing, in blowing out Virginia-Lynchburg 72-12 at home. Fobbs played nearly everyone on the roster in the game and this week will get back top returning receiver Chad Williams, who served a one-game suspension after an offseason arrest. DeVante Kincade started at quarterback in the opener and will get the nod again in Tucson, but Trevon Cherry will play in at least a few series. Both threw a pair of touchdown passes in the opener.DOUBLE PUNTER/KICKERS: Having one player handle both punting and kicking is a rarity in college football these days. Saturdays game will have two punter/kickers. Grambling State senior Jonathan Wallace had a busy day in the opener by handling both duties, making all 10 of his extra-point attempts and averaging 36.3 yards on three punts. Arizona sophomore Josh Pollack averaged 47.5 yards on four punts and made a 46-yard field goal after earlier missing a 52-yarder.WILSONS RETURN: Arizona running back Nick Wilson had a strong return after an injury-plagued 2015 season. The bruising junior started slow against BYU, but got better as the game wore on. He had a 15-yard run in the fourth quarter for Arizonas first touchdown and reeled off a 49-yard scoring run to put Arizona up with 1:26 left. Wilson finished with 138 yards on 17 carries and will be a load for the Tigers to bring down on Saturday. ' ' '
