ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The one thing Joe Thomas hasnt lost so far during the Browns winless start is his sense of humor.Mention snow Buffalos forecast this weekend, and Clevelands tackle said: The ski slopes are happy.Bring up the Browns being in danger of going 0-16, and Thomas didnt miss a beat.Well, we wouldnt be the first team, he said with a distinct laugh.In 2008, the Detroit Lions were the first -- and so far only -- NFL team to not win during a 16-game season. The Browns (0-13), who play at the Bills (6-7) on Sunday, are in contention to double the list of futility.The best way Thomas knows how to deal with avoiding that possibility is preparing as diligently as he can and leaning on humor as a coping mechanism.Definitely this season you have to cope with the difficulties of not winning a game, the 10th-year veteran said. It could be overwhelming when you think of a whole season at one time and trying to avoid being 0-16.The Browns are running out of opportunities.Whats worse is Cleveland has actually lost 16 in a row, dating to a 24-10 win against San Francisco on Dec. 13. Yes, the Browns havent won in a calendar year.This years struggles are the result of yet another top-to-bottom upheaval, this time under Hue Jackson, their fourth coach since owner Jimmy Haslam took over in October 2012.Difficult as it might be to accept in the short term, Thomas supports what the Browns are doing by attempting to stockpile draft picks and build through youth. The key, he said, is sticking with a commitment to establish a semblance of continuity under Jackson.Part of the reason we havent been able to turn it around is instability leads to poor performance, Thomas said. But thats why Im so optimistic in our future because I think Jimmy Haslam has finally committed to this organization, this management team and coaching staff.The Bills are no strangers to revolving doors at coach, general manager and quarterback. Its a key reason behind why theyre in jeopardy of extending the NFLs longest active playoff drought to 17 years.And more change could be on the way with questions being raised about Rex Ryans job security after just two seasons.Receiver Sammy Watkins rallied to Ryans defense in saying he has no interest in Buffalo changing coaches.I dont want to keep going through all this craziness, Watkins said. That kills a player and a team and an organization.As a result, losing to the Browns is not an option.We cant let that let that happen, Watkins said. Itll look bad on everybody.What else to look for Sunday:TRAILING: The Browns have not had a lead in 13-plus quarters, dating to a 7-6 edge at halftime in a 28-7 loss at Baltimore on Nov. 10. Cleveland also squandered a 20-0 lead in a 25-20 loss to Baltimore on Sept. 18, and a 20-7 halftime lead in a 31-28 loss to the New York Jets on Oct. 3.FADING: Buffalo is coming off a 27-20 loss to Pittsburgh , in which running back LeVeon Bell had 236 yards rushing to set a Steelers franchise record, and a Bills franchise record for most allowed. A week earlier at Oakland, the Bills squandered a 24-9 third-quarter lead in a 38-24 loss at Oakland.Aside from a 16-0 win over a New England team minus quarterback Tom Brady (suspension), Buffalos five other wins are against teams with a combined record of 17-46-2.SNOW CROW: Browns running back Isaiah Crowell grew up in the South, but he runs like hes from the Midwest. Despite slippery, snowy conditions, Crowell gained 113 yards on just 10 carries last week in a loss to Cincinnati. He wanted more opportunities, but Cleveland fell behind 13-0, which changed the game plan. Crowell, who has three 100-yard rushing games this season, feels his running style is perfectly suited for the cold.I really feel its natural, he said.Informed Bell had 38 carries on a snow-covered field in Buffalo last weekend, Crowell said: Id take that.MEMORIES: Two of Thomas favorite games are wins over Buffalo. There was the Browns 8-0 win played during a blizzard that hit Cleveland on Dec. 16, 2007. And then there was the 6-3 victory at Buffalo two years later in which Cleveland starter Derek Anderson went 2 of 17 for 23 yards and an interception. Cleveland won on Billy Cundiffs 18-yard field goal with 23 seconds remaining, and set up by Buffalos Roscoe Parrish muffing a punt at his 16.Two completed passes, an NFL record, Thomas said. One of my many records in the NFL that Im proud of.ONE MORE YEAR: When asked if two seasons are enough to judge a coach, Buffalos Ryan smiled and said: I think three years is better.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Vapormax Off White Pas Cher . -- Adam Snyder returned to the San Francisco 49ers this season because the offensive lineman thought it was his best opportunity to win a championship.

The prize was 1420 pounds and the trophy a gold watch.* Archer came back the following year to beat Mormon, this time by eight lengths, a record margin that still stands (it was equalled in 1968 by Rain Lover).* De Mestre would go on to train three other winners of the Melbourne Cup - Tim Whiffler (1867), Chester (1877) and Calamia (1878).* Trainer Bart Cummings claimed the first of his 12 Melbourne Cups in 1965 with Light Fingers. The following year stablemate Galilee was the only horse to prevent Light Fingers making it back-to-back Cups and in 1967 Red Handed gave Cummings his third straight victory.* Cummings other winners were Think Big (1974, 1975), Gold And Black (1977), Hyperno (1979), Kingston Rule (1990), Lets Elope (1991), Saintly (1996), Rogan Josh (1999) and Viewed (2008).* Other trainers to have multiple Cup wins include: 5 - Lee Freedman: Tawrrific (1989), Subzero (1992), Doriemus (1995), Makybe Diva (2004, 2005); 4 - John Tait: The Barb (1866), Glencoe (1868), The Pearl (1871), The Quack (1872); Richard Bradfield: Patron (1894), The Victory (1902), Night Watch (1918), Backwood (1924); James Scobie: Clean Sweep (1900), King Ingoda (1922), Bitalli (1923), Trivalve (1927); W S Hinkenbothem: Mentor (1888), Carbine (1890), Newhaven (1896), Blue Spec (1905).* In 1972 the race was altered to the metric distance of 3200m, 18.7 metres or 61.5 feet short of two miles.* Kingston Rule holds the metric race record of 3:16.30.* 1985 marked the dawn of a new era for the Cup with prizemoney raised to $1 million. The owners of What A Nuisance received $650,000 and a $23,000 Cup.* This year the race is worth $3.6 million to the winning owners along with a trophy valued at $200,000.* Four-year-olds (43) and five-year-olds (44) have the best record of any age group. Other age groups are three-year-old (23), six-year-old (32), seven-year-old (10) and eight-year-old (2).* The oldest horses to win the race were the eight-year-olds Toryboy (1865) and Catalogue (1938).* The last three-year-old to win was Skipton (1941), who gave champion jockey Billy Cook his first Cup win.* There have been no dead-heats for first in the racce but Topical and Gaine Carrington dead-heated for third in Hall Marks 1933 Cup and Lahar and Zazabelle also dead-heated for third in the 1999 Cup won by Rogan Josh.dddddddddddd* Bobby Lewis and Harry White are the most successful jockeys. In 33 rides in the Cup Lewis saluted the judge four times with The Victory (1902), Patrobas (1915), Artilleryman (1919) and Trivalve in 1927. He was also runner-up four times and finished third on Phar Lap in 1929.* Harry White steered the Bart Cummings-trained Think Big to successive victories in 1974 and 1975. He was back in the winners circle again with Arwon in 1978 and another Cummings runner Hyperno in 1979.* Think Big failed to win a race between his two Melbourne Cup wins.* Makybe Diva is the only horse to win the Cup three times in 2003, 2004 and 2005.* Perhaps the unluckiest of all Melbourne Cup runners was Shadow King who ran in six Cups between 1929 and 1935 finishing third to Phar Lap in 1930, second to White Nose in 1931, third to Peter Pan in 1932 and second again behind Hall Mark in 1933.* The longest-priced horses to win: Four horses have win at 100-1: The Pearl (1871), Wotan (1936), Old Rowley (1940) and Prince Of Penzance (2015).* The shortest priced are Archer 2-1 (1862), Tim Whiffler 5-2 (1867), Revenue 7-4 (1901), Phar Lap 8-11 (1930), Even Stevens 3-1 (1962), Lets Elope 3-1 (1991) and Makybe Diva at 5-2 in 2004.* Melbourne Cup winners to produce other Melbourne Cup winners:- Grand Flaneur (1880) sired Bravo (1889) and Patron (1894); Malua (1884) sired Malvolio (1891); Comedy King (1910) sired Artilleryman (1919) and King Ingoda (1922); Spearfelt (1926) sired Dark Felt (1943); Marabou (1935) sired Skipton (1941); Silver Knight (1971) sired Black Knight (1984).* Heaviest weights carried in the Cup:- Winners - Carbine 10.5 (65.5kg), Archer 10.2 (64.5kg), Poitrel 10.0 (63.5kg), Redcraze 10.3 (65kg).

Olivers winners so far are Fiorente (2013) Media Puzzle (2002) and Doriemus (1995).* In 2015, Michelle Payne became the first woman to ride the winner of the Melbourne Cup when she steered the Darren Weir-trained Prince Of Penzance to a famous victory.
