The Cleveland Browns are keeping some dubious company, though they arent as hapless as the 1983 and `84 Houston Oilers.Not yet.At 0-10, they are the 17th team since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to reach that low level, according to Pro Football Reference. They have joined the 2014 Raiders, 1997 Colts, 1993 Bengals, 1971 Bills and those back-to-back losers in Houston with 10 losses to begin a season.Those Oilers finished 1983 at 2-14, then went 3-13 the next year.Should the Browns lose to the Steelers on Sunday, they would join the 1975 Chargers, 1984 Bills and 2000 Chargers with 0-11 records. San Diego wound up 2-12 in `75 and 1-15 in 2000, while Buffalo was 2-14 in `84.Next up -- make that down -- the ladder are the 0-12 squads, Tampa Bay in 1977 and Detroit in 2001. The Bucs wound up 2-12 in their second season of life, while the Lions went 2-14 in `01.Should the Browns get to 0-13, they will have equaled the futility of the 2007 Dolphins and 2011 Colts. Miami wound up 1-15 and Indianapolis went 2-14.The 1976 expansion Bucs lost all 14 of their games. Four years later, the Saints went 0-14 before winding up 1-15.No NFL team has lost its first 15 games in a season and then won. Indeed, the only club to drop the first 15, the 2008 Lions, fell into infamy by also losing its finale.The folks in Cleveland dont want to hear anything about 0-16.---COACH BEARING GIFTS: Jack Del Rio is bringing gifts when the Oakland Raiders travel to Mexico City to take on the Houston Texans.Del Rios foundation will donate backpacks, school supplies and playground balls to needy kids on Sunday, a day before the Raiders play the first regular-season game in Mexico since 2005.I was inspired by the Sport in the Service of Humanity Conference in Rome, says Del Rios wife, Linda. After speaking with my fellow delegates, who all do amazing charitable work in the world of sport globally and in Third World countries on a daily basis, I believed that this would be a fantastic opportunity to give something sustainable back to Mexico City within the world of sport.The foundation and NFL Mexico will also give $10,000 to the charitable organization Mano Amiga, and the foundation will give $8,000 to Mano Amiga for the purchase of athletic uniforms.Students in Mano Amiga will also participate in a free football clinic facilitated by the Raiders on Sunday.---GRIESE REMEMBERS: Bob Griese will be reacquainted with an old friend on Sunday when the Dolphins play the Rams: the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.I havent seen that place in a long time and Ive got some great memories, says Griese, a member of the Dolphins broadcasting crew.Griese was Miamis quarterback when the Dolphins capped the only perfect season in NFL history in L.A. by defeating the Redskins, 14-7, in Super Bowl 7.We never talked about going undefeated, Griese says of that 1972 team. We talked about winning the Super Bowl in L.A. versus the Washington Redskins. There was nothing in the locker room after the game like, `Hey, were undefeated! It was, `Hey, we finally won the Super Bowl. Because we had lost the year before to Dallas.Its going to be nice to go back. There is going to be a flood of memories going back to the Coliseum.Griese says hell reflect on that game, but also teammates that are no longer alive.Im going to walk around the field a little bit and that will be nice because I will remember all the guys and coach (Don) Shula, Griese says. Some of the guys are passing away. Its going to be nice to remember those guys, and especially Garo Yepremian -- remember that play?Who doesnt?Yepremian, who died in 2015, nearly cost the Dolphins the game when he attempted a pass after having his field goal blocked. Washingtons Mike Bass grabbed the wobbly heave and returned it 49 yards to pull the Redskins within 14-7.We never went through that in practice, Griese says with a laugh. We never went through the scenario that, `OK, Garo, if you ever get the ball in your hands, dont try to throw it. Just fall down, you know. Or throw it into the ground.The other thing was when they were running down the sideline, (Garo) had a chance to throw his body and knock (Bass) out of bounds and he just kind of waved at him. We kidded Garo about that for a long time. There was a few (teammates) that were pretty upset with him. But we won the game so everything was fine.And no team has been perfect since.---GETTING READY FOR RODGERS: There are two particular tricks that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers loves to use: hard counts that draw a defender offside to allow for a free play, and quick snaps that catch a defense with 12 men on the field.Redskins defensive coordinator Joe Barry is well aware of those moves, of course, and spent time preparing his players for them before Washington (5-3-1) hosts Green Bay (4-5) on Sunday night.Its something that you preach, you prepare for, you talk about, Barry said.To avoid getting caught on the hard count, Barry said, defensive linemen need to worry about watching for when the ball is hiked, rather than listening to Rodgers voice.And as for avoiding penalties for too many men, he said, Youve got to sub with urgency. And its not only the guy running onto the field subbing. Its, more importantly, the guy running off the field, because (Rodgers) looks for it. And I dont know if its truly just him looking for it or if the coaches on the sideline see it and give him the green light through the headset. But hes outstanding at it.---AP Pro Football Writers Barry Wilner and Howard Fendrich, Sports Writer Josh Dubow and freelance writer Jay Paris contributed.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Devin Funchess Colts Jersey .

NEW ORLEANS -- Saints coach Sean Payton and Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Gregg Williams sound a touch sentimental when their time together in New Orleans comes up.Perhaps they dont see the point of revisiting the disenchantment, anger and betrayal surrounding a sequence of events which included Williams firing from the Saints; his subsequent cooperation in the NFLs bounty probe; and both coaches season-long suspensions in 2012.Maybe this isnt the best week to air old resentments, given Payton and Williams will coach in the same game for the first time since they were on the same staff. The Saints host the Rams in a crucial game for both clubs Sunday.Or maybe, nearly a half-decade later, they really have moved on.No. 1, I think hes a real good defensive coordinator, Payton said of Williams. Hes done a great job and is doing a great job in L.A. right now. When you win Super Bowls, those are important things and obviously he was a big part of that with our program and our team.When Williams was asked Friday about his return to New Orleans, he said hes really looking forward to it, adding that hes got a lot of great memories, a lot of good feelings, a lot of good people there that I still stay in contact with.His reception by fans in the Superdome could very well be mixed. Some will appreciate his contributions during the best three-year run in Saints history, when the team won 37 regular season games and four playoff games, including the 2009 NFL championship. Others might never forgive him for his role in the bounty probe, since which the Saints have made the playoffs only once and won only one playoff game.Its not about that, its about these guys playing, Williams asserted. Its not about me.And yet, theres no avoiding his imprint on both defenses.Rams offensive coordinator Rob Boras referred to Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen as a Gregg Williams disciple.Theres a lot of similarities there, Boras said. We know theyre aggressive.Allen was New Orleans secondary coach during Williams first two seasons with the Saints. While Allen didnt exactly embrace the term, disciple, he did not hesitate to acknowledge Williams influence on his own approach to directing a defense.Theres certainly a lot of elements to the things that I learned when I was working here under Gregg. A lot of the things that we do defensively both from a philosophical standpoint and from a schematic standpoint are similar, Allen said. Those were obviously good times for us as far as playing deefensive football here.dddddddddddd ... So I dont know what word I would use to describe that, but Id certainly say that theres a lot of things that I learned during that time.Allen said he remains in touch with Williams every now and then.Ive still got a lot of respect for Gregg as a defensive coach,. ... We pay close attention to their tape and what they do schematically and things that they do well that we can maybe incorporate into what were doing, you know, we try to incorporate some of those things. I just think theres a certain style to playing defense and I think its fun to watch.Both Williams and Allen preach more of an aggressive than reactionary style. They blitz and dont shy away from taking risks with one-on-one coverage. They urge their players to play fast, attacking, hard-hitting defense with the goal of instilling some measure of fear in opposing skill players.Brees said he is sure it would mean a lot to Williams to have his defense play a role in beating the Saints.I know his attitude, I know his demeanor and his approach, Brees said. He is going to have those guys ready to play -- and well be ready to play, too.Williams said he is eager to test his scheme against Brees in a game for the first time since 2006, when Williams Redskins beat Brees Saints 16-10 in New Orleans.Brees presents challenges because of his understanding of the game, Williams said, adding it was always fun to compete in practices with him and now in a game.And Brees made it clear the respect is mutual -- at least as far as Xs and Os are concerned.I choose to focus on the positives and not the negatives, Brees said. Obviously, (the bounty probe) was a tough situation. The positive is Gregg Williams was our defensive coordinator from 2009, `10 and `11. We won a lot of football games together and he did a great job here with our defense, and we share a Super Bowl together from that 2009 season. I choose to look at that and I appreciate that.As far as whats happened since then, coaches go to different places, Brees said. He is a very talented defensive football coach and I know his defense has played extremely well this season, especially the last four weeks. I know that we will need our best to beat them.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Sports Writer Greg Beacham in Los Angeles contributed to this report.
