JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio must be getting pretty good at these motivational halftime speeches. The Jacksonville Jaguars have scored 96 second-half points in the last five games, and have their first five-game winning streak since the 1999 season. They scored just 30 first-half points in those same games and trailed at halftime in three of them. Is it slow starts? Halftime changes? Are the Jags merely a come-from-behind team? Or could it be Del Rio's biting comments in the locker ro |

CLEVELAND (AP) - Browns rookie wide receiver Braylon Edwards was helped off the field with an apparent injury to his right leg in the fourth quarter against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Edwards, who caught two touchdown passes in the first half, was trying to make a leaping catch over cornerback Rashean Mathis when he came down awkwardly. In obvious pain, Edwards stayed on the ground and grabbed his right leg. He was assisted off the field and was able to put a little weight on his leg before being dr |

Rackers kicked a team-record 31 consecutive field goals for the Cardinals this season before his first miss, a 43-yard attempt, in last Sunday's loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars. To replace Rackers, Arizona signed kicker Nick Novak. Novak spent five games with the Washington Redskins this season, connecting on 5-of-7 field goal attempts before being released on November 5. To make room for Novak, the Cardinals released line |

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor will not suit up for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland, meaning he will miss his third game in the last four weeks. Taylor injured his ankle on Nov. 6 against Houston. Since then, he has played just once, against Tennessee. He had six carries for minus-8 yards in that game, sitting out most of the second half with a thigh bruise. ``Fred is getting better, it's week to week, but he's not going to make it this week,'' Jaguars coach Jack D |

| === Leftwich-Less Jags Head to Cleveland === (Best E Casino) - The Jacksonville Jaguars will begin life without Byron Leftwich this week, as they visit the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon.

Jacksonville is second in the AFC South and, at 8-3, is leading the conference's wild card chase. The Browns, meanwhile, wer |

Frye, who has thrown just 12 passes this season, could replace Dilfer and make his first career start Sunday when the Browns (4-7) face the Jacksonville Jaguars (8-3), whose playoff hopes are now riding on backup QB David Garrard. Dilfer injured his knees while being sacked five times during a 24-12 loss at Minnesota a week ago and was limited in practice this week. Frye took the majority of the snaps wit |

BEREA, Ohio (AP) - Browns starting quarterback Trent Dilfer, slowed by sore knees, participated in team drills during practice on Thursday and remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dilfer took some snaps with Cleveland's first-team offense. On Wednesday, Dilfer watched as rookie backup Charlie Frye worked exclusively with the starters. During the brief period practice was open to the media, Dilfer did not run wind sprints with his teammates. The team said he took part in al |
