CLEVELAND -- Theres a light in the Cleveland Browns locker room at FirstEnergy Stadium that splashes the phrase Expect to Win on the carpet for all the players and staff to see.The sign doesnt mention anything about when the winning is supposed to start.Not that it matters. At this point, its anybodys guess, including the luckless Browns.Another halftime lead morphed into another befuddling loss, this time a 31-28 setback against the New York Jets that sent Cleveland spiraling to 0-8 at the seasons midway point. The Browns have dropped 11 straight overall and are 3-26 over their last 29 games.Next week, the Dallas Cowboys come to town. Then, its a trip to Baltimore, followed by games against the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants. The weight of the `0 is sure to only grow heavier as time goes by.Its a no-brainer. Nobody wants to be 0-8, but thats where were at, cornerback Jamar Taylor said. This game is real simple sometimes when you dont get it done. Weve still got eight games left -- a long time -- but youve got to fix the things you do bad.Its not that Cleveland isnt competitive. The Browns dominated the first half against the Jets (3-5), moving up and down the field with remarkable ease at times during quarterback Josh McCowns return from a fractured collarbone. Yet, when the Jets responded after halftime, the Browns didnt have an answer. Again.This is rough, but that is part of it, coach Hue Jackson said. We have to get better.Cleveland had a chance to put the Jets in a 17-point hole late in the first half, driving to the New York 10 with 47 seconds to play. An incompletion, a sack and a scramble by McCown forced the Browns to settle for a field goal instead. New York then took the opening kick of the second half and went 78 yards in 12 plays before Ryan Fitzpatrick hit Quincy Enunwa for a 24-yard touchdown in which he bounced off four Cleveland players on his way to the end zone. By the time Matt Forte scored the first of his two touchdowns later in the third, the Browns had seen their early momentum evaporate completely.Its hardly the first time. The Browns have been outscored 61-13 in the third quarter this season.When we do really good in the first half, weve got to figure out how to kickstart that thing in the second half, cornerback Joe Haden said.It simply didnt happen. The Browns managed all of 133 yards after the break, most of them coming on a garbage-time drive in which the Browns lazily made their way toward the end zone even though they were trailing by 11. When McCown hit Andrew Hawkins for a second touchdown and followed it up with a 2-point conversion to Terrelle Pryor Sr., only 12 seconds remained.McCown completed 25 of 49 for 341 yards and two scores, but also threw interceptions on consecutive possessions in the fourth quarter that all but ended any chance of the Browns leaving FirstEnergy Stadium with their first victory in 322 days. The veteran fell to 18-41 in his career as a starter in his return from a fractured collarbone suffered in a Week 2 loss to Baltimore, a game Cleveland led by 20 at one point. Nearly two months later, nothing has really changed.One half, we played the way we always talk about playing, the way coach talks about playing, McCown said. That is how we played in the first half. In the second half, we didnt. I say we, but I didnt. I take this one squarely on me.Its hardly McCowns failure to own. On a day the franchise celebrated the 30th anniversary of the 1986 team that reached the AFC championship game and the hometown Cleveland Indians were a game away from clinching an unlikely World Series, the glory days for the Browns seem farther away than ever.Nobody wants to talk about 0-16.

Alonso immediately complained over team radio, but race director Charlie Whiting saw no need to launch a stewards investigation into the move.Talking about the incident after the race, Alonso issued a warning to Vettel telling him not to attempt a similar move in the future.I dont think there will be any action against Vettel today, as they [the stewards] havent said anything yet, Alonso said. There was a tarmac run-off and I just used it, but if there was a wall for sure I would either have to hit the wall or hit him, which is what Ill do next time. Ill hit him and hell lose more points than me.Arguably, Alonso could have backed off, but he maintained Vettel wwas in the wrong.dddddddddddd.In the rain we dont have the same visibility as in the dry, the mirrors were wet too, so I couldnt see anything behind me. In the end nothing happened, I went down the tarmac run-off but there will come a day in which someone will have to hit him so that he understands the track is for all of us.Alonso finished the race tenth after a spin at the final restart behind the safety car and believes his car was capable of a lot more.There were quite a few mistakes today, many spins, I had my own that cost me a lot of places, but visibility was low. Starting 10th in a chaotic race should have given us the possibility to do better than 10th at the end.It was a very stressful race for everybody, the only thing you had to do was to keep the car on the road, so it was difficult, but we got a point and now theres just one race to go.
