CINCINNATI -- Well, it used to be a notable rivalry.Back in the day, the Browns and Bengals would go at it with a lot at stake and bragging rights to follow. Ohios two teams with such close ties -- Paul Brown built both of them -- played some memorable games with outsized characters.Remember Sam Wyches You dont live in Cleveland, you live in Cincinnati putdown?Ah, the old days. Nowadays, the so-called Battle of Ohio is more of a struggle to stay relevant.The Bengals (2-4) and Browns (0-6) havent been this bad together through six games since the 2008 season. Cincinnati is off to its worst start since 2010, when it finished 4-12.Cleveland is off to its worst start since it was a first-year expansion team in 1999 and lost its first seven games.You have to understand where we are, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton said. Were kind of behind right now, with the way this season has gone, and weve got to get it back on track.Its the first of Cincinnatis back-to-back games against former offensive coordinators who know them well. The following week, Cincinnati makes its first trip to London to play Jay Grudens Washington team. Gruden was Jacksons predecessor in Cincinnati as the coordinator.The Browns are looking to hold up their end of Clevelands fantastic sports month. The Indians are back in the World Series. The Cavaliers raise their NBA championship banner. Now, can the Browns actually win a game?We have to get a win, Browns receiver Andrew Hawkins said. Every single week it is the same goal.Some things to watch on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium:ALL IN THE FAMILY: Jackson knows what makes the Bengals defense tick. The Bengals know all of his tricks, from unbalanced lines to flea-flickers and double reverses. When the Bengals watched film of the Browns offense this week, it was as if they were watching themselves. Which one gets an advantage? The familiarity may not count for as much, given that Jackson is working with a makeshift roster because of injuries. Still, itll be like both teams looking in a mirror at times.Hue does a good job of when you think hes going to throw something at you, he throws something else, Bengals safety George Iloka said. We are prepared that there will be some wrinkles. What those wrinkles will be, well see. But he does a good job of giving you a little bit of everything.DALTONS SURGE: Dalton leads the AFC in yards passing, but the Bengals are struggling near the end zone. The Bengals scored at least 24 points in seven of their first eight games last season while going 8-0. They have yet to score that many points in any game this season. Dalton had one of the worst games of his career against Cleveland in 2014, when he finished with a passer rating of 2.0 in a 24-3 loss at Paul Brown Stadium. He turned it around last season, going 35 of 46 for 454 yards with five TDs and no interceptions in the two intrastate games.BURFICTS BEHAVIOR: Bengals LB Vontaze Burfict was fined $75,000 for stepping on Patriots running back LeGarrette Blount during the loss in New England. Teammates say that opponents have been trying to set him off during games. Burfict was suspended by the NFL for the first three games because of his history of violating the leagues player safety rules. Itll be worth watching his self-control during a game that can get nasty.KESSLERS ENCORE: Clevelands Cody Kessler threw for a career-high 337 yards and a pair of touchdowns during a loss at Tennessee last week. Hes trying to join Brandon Weeden as the only Browns rookies to throw for 300 yards in consecutive games. Most of all, he wants to help the Browns shed their distinction -- the NFLs only winless team.For me, I take it very personal, as do a lot of guys in this locker room, Kessler said. It just makes you compete that much harder and keep working harder because we have been really close in some of these games.PRYORS OLD PLACE: The Browns leading receiver returns to the place where he finally gave up on his goal of becoming an NFL quarterback. At Jacksons suggestion, the Bengals signed Terrelle Pryor in the offseason last year to compete for a backup QB job. They released him, and he landed in Cleveland, this time as a receiver. He leads the Browns with 33 catches for 413 yards and three touchdowns. Hes also thrown nine passes, filling in as Clevelands quarterbacks got hurt.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAngels Jerseys China .

LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. ATLANTA -- Braves general manager John Coppolella is sick of watching his team plummet to the bottom of the major leagues.Trading for pricey slugger Matt Kemp might be a good way to send a message to disappointed Atlanta fans.The Braves acquired Kemp, a two-time All-Star outfielder, and $10.5 million from San Diego for troubled outfielder Hector Olivera on Saturday night.Its a sign that we arent happy losing, Coppolella said. We arent trying to finish with the worst record ever so we can get the first (draft) pick. We want to win every night and making this trade now is a big deal to us because it helps us get better this year and the next three years after that.Kemp is expected to make his Atlanta debut on Tuesday when the Braves begin a three-game home series with Pittsburgh. President of Baseball Operations John Hart said there was no need for Kemp to hurry to Turner Field with an off day Monday.Atlanta had tried for several months to deal Olivera following his April 13 arrest on domestic violence charges. He is eligible to play again in the major leagues on Tuesday following his 82-game domestic violence suspension.The Padres plan to designate Olivera for assignment when he comes off the restricted list Tuesday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the decision had not been announced.Coppolella was pleased to put the Olivera chapter behind him. Saturday marked the one-year anniversary of his arrival.What happened with Hector is unfortunate and unacceptable, Coppolella told the AP. Were happy to have Matt Kemp.Despite arthritis in both hips, Kemp could boost the weakest offense in the major leagues. Atlanta has baseballs worst record and ranks last in runs scored and homers.The Braves have just one marquee everyday player, first baseman Freddie Freeman, and need more star appeal as they move a few miles north into a new suburban ballpark next year.Kemp has a $21.5 million salary this year and is owed the same amount in each of the next three seasons.We felt like its just a situation where we can use that money down the road, Padres general manager AJ Preller said. Reallocate to our bigger club, reallocate it potentially to the amateur market, which is a spot where theres a lot of value in the flexibility with the dollars presented to us.San Diego is sending Atlanta $3 million this year as part of the trade: half on Aug. 15 and the rest on Sept. 15. From 2017-19, the Padres will pay the Braves $2.5 million annually, half each May 15 and July 15.To get him for roughly $8.5 million a year when you faactor out Olivera, it made a lot of sense for us, Coppolella said.dddddddddddd We didnt give up a draft pick. We didnt trade away any prospects. So we were able to stick with the plan that we had while still filling a major need for right-handed power.Olivera agreed in early 2015 to a $62.5 million, six-year contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, then was traded to the Braves last July. He has a $4 million salary this year, but lost $1,792,350 because of his suspension. He is owed $6 million next season, $6.5 million in 2018, $7.5 million in 2019 and $8.5 million in 2020.San Diego acquired Kemp, a two-time All-Star outfielder with the Dodgers, from Los Angeles in December 2014. It took several days to consummate the trade because Kemp had to be cleared medically.In 254 games with the Padres, Kemp is hitting .264 -- 28 points lower than his nine-year batting average with the Dodgers -- with 46 homers, 169 RBI and 247 strikeouts.Atlanta acquired Olivera from the Dodgers in a three-team, 13-player swap that sent Alex Wood and Jose Peraza to Los Angeles.This trade made financial sense with both teams trying to shed expensive contracts of players no longer fitting long-term plans.Olivera is on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett but was removed from the lineup before Saturday nights game.He was arrested April 13 at a hotel near Washington, D.C., and Major League Baseball announced May 27 that he had agreed to the suspension, which was retroactive to April 30.Olivera, who was moved from third base to left field before the start of spring training, hit .245 with two homers and 13 RBI in 30 games with Atlanta. He has a pending court date in Alexandria, Virginia.The Padres have been busy reworking their payroll during the last few days.They traded outfielder Melvin Upton Jr. to Toronto on Tuesday for minor league right-hander Hansel Rodriguez. San Diego agreed to pay the Blue Jays $17,275,410, including $1,825,410 this year and $15.45 million next year -- matching his entire 2017 salary.On Friday, the Padres sent right-handers Andrew Cashner and Colin Rea plus pitching prospect Tayron Guerrero to Miami for right-handers Jarred Cosart and Carter Capps and two minor leaguers, pitching prospect Luis Castillo and first baseman Josh Naylor.San Diego will give the Marlins $2,171,257 to cover most of the $2,539,617 remaining in Cashners $7.15 million salary this year.---AP Baseball Writer Ronald Blum and AP Sports Writer Bernie Wilson contributed to this report.
