CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Johnny Manziel said his first NFL start left him with a sour taste in his mouth.Clevelands polarizing quarterback vows to be more decisive in his decision making this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.Manziel was 10 of 18 for 80 yards, and the Browns barely broke 100 total yards in a 30-0 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last week.I have to be more confident and trust in my eyes and trust what Im seeing out there on the field, Manziel said. I felt like I was a little hesitant last week on a couple of throws and it really did hurt me throughout the game.Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Cam Newton will start at quarterback barring any setbacks before Sunday. Newton will return to the lineup after suffering two fractures in his lower back in an automobile accident on Dec. 9.Browns coach Mike Pettine said while Manziel struggled in his NFL starting debut, he didnt get much help from his teammates — on either side of the ball.Theres very little that went well for us, Pettine said. It was one of those games where it snowballed early, we fell behind and never got into a rhythm offensively and couldnt get off the field defensively.Panthers defensive end Charles Johnson said Carolina plans to borrow a page from the Bengals playbook on how to stop Manziel. Johnson said the Bengals got pressure on Manziel with their front four, mixed up coverages, and at times kept a spy locked in on the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner.Its a copycat league, so ... Johnson said with a smile.The Panthers defence has improved dramatically in the second half of the season and moved up to 16th in the league. Carolina will be plenty motivated to slow down Manziel, and not only because theyd rather not see the rookie making any money gestures with his fingers in the end zone.At 5-8-1, Carolina still has a chance to win the NFC South. Carolina trails New Orleans (6-8) by a half-game and can win the division if it wins out and the Saints lose once.DECEMBER FREEZE: The Browns are trying to end a troubling pattern of late-season collapses. Theyve lost 10 straight games in December, with the last win coming on Dec. 9, 2010 at Kansas City. Cleveland is a woeful 3-19 in December since ending the 2009 season with four straight wins that saved coach Eric Manginis job. Mike Pettine had the Browns at 6-3 and hes spent this week getting his team to focus on finishing strong.I cautioned them about looking back and cautioned them about looking forward, Pettine said. These opportunities are few and far between. Weve got a real bad taste in our mouth. Weve had it now for a month, and we need to get rid of it.STEWART ON A ROLL: The Panthers are expected to get DeAngelo Williams back from a broken hand, but it might behoove Rivera to stick with his hot hand: Jonathan Stewart. Stewart is averaging more than 100 yards rushing over the past three games. However, in the past Rivera has remained most loyal to Williams, the teams all-time leading rusher, and started him whenever healthy.RUNNING AWAY: Holes in Clevelands defence, an early-season issue, have reopened. Last week, the Browns gave up 241 yards rushing as Bengals rookie Jeremy Hill backed up his harsh assessment of Cleveland — worse than I thought — following a loss last month by gaining 148 yards and scoring twice. The Browns took bad angles, missed tackles and let the Bengals run wild.We did a lot of the little things wrong across the board, whether it was awareness, gathering information presnap to aiming points to how we played blocks, Pettine said.RED ZONE BLUES: The Panthers have struggled scoring touchdowns, all too often settling for field goals. Last week they reached Tampa Bay territory on all 11 possessions, but managed just one touchdown and four field goals. You cant win consistently in this league if you kick field goals, Rivera said.FINDING STABILITY: The Panthers have won back-to-back games for the first time since the first two games of the season. That can be at least partly attributed to a semblance of continuity on the offensive line, where the Panthers will start the same lineup for the fourth straight game.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL___AP Sports Writer tom Withers in Cleveland, Ohio contributed to this report.

Air Max Belgique .com) - Eric Fehr and Marcus Johansson each registered a pair of goals, as Washington spoiled the head coaching debut of Peter Horachek by picking up a 6-2 victory in Toronto on Wednesday. Magasin Air Max Belgique . -- The Oakland Athletics and free agent right-hander Bartolo Colon have agreed to terms on a US$2 million, one-year contract, bolstering their depleted starting rotation. ATLANTA -- Jeff Teague and the Atlanta Hawks had been in this situation a couple of times already this season. So when the Orlando Magic erased Atlantas 17-point lead in the third quarter, Teague wanted to be a calming influence. "Were still learning every day," he said. "I was glad to see us bounce back, get the lead back up and make plays at the end. Hard work is paying off." Teague had 19 points and 13 assists, Paul Millsap scored 18 points with 11 rebounds and the Hawks beat Orlando 104-94 on Saturday night. Arron Afflalo finished with 21 points for the Magic, who have dropped 15 straight on the road dating to last March 4. Mike Scott had 17 points in a reserve role and Al Horford scored 15 and Kyle Korver added 14 for Atlanta. Korver made a 3 in his 79th consecutive game to surpass Dennis Scott and tie Michael Adams for second place on the NBA career list. After Korver hit a 3 on a fast break late in the fourth, Teagues fastbreak layup made it 97-88 with 1:41 remaining. The Hawks have won nine straight over the Magic at Philips Arena. Jameer Nelson and Andrew Nicholson each finished with 13 points for Orlando. Atlanta took the games first double-digit lead at 57-47 on Millsaps jumper with 9:30 left in the third. DeMarre Carroll followed with a 3 and Millsap hit a layup for a 15-point lead that caused Orlando coach Jacque Vaughn to call a timeout. "Guys were just getting in position where they were open," Teague said. "I was hitting them, and they were making shots. Paul and Kyle had their pick and pop all night, and they were making them. When I was getting in the lane, I was doing my best to draw defenders and kick it to them." Carrolls reverse dunk a couple of minutes later put the Hawks ahead by 17 for the games biggest lead, but the Magic went on a 23-7 run that ended witth Andrew Nicholsons hook shot in the final minute of the third and gave Orlando a 71-70 lead.dddddddddddd. The Magic, who dropped to 0-3 on the road this season, got back in contention defensively by shutting down the passing lanes and forcing Atlanta to wind down the shot clock on multiple possessions late in the third and early in the fourth. "We fought our way back into the game," Vaughn said. "That unit that was on the floor gave us a lot of energy on the second night of a back-to-back and got us back into the game, take the lead. Great resolve by that group over there -- the Hawks -- making shots." ETwaun Moore and Afflalo hit consecutive 3s midway through the final period to cut the lead to 79-77, and Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer called a timeout. Afflalo 3s put the Magic up 88-87 with 3:50 remaining, but they didnt lead again. "Theres just no room for error at that point," Afflalo said. "We just couldnt close the game off tonight." Teague, secure in his role after Atlanta re-signed him to a multiyear contract last summer, is showing the kind of leadership that Budenholzer wants from his point guard. "I think hes really starting to understand what were saying," Budenholzer said after his team improved to 3-3. "I think for the last week to 10 days that hes had a lot of opportunities and a lot of responsibility for the way we play. Hes doing a lot of good things. I think hes going to get better and better. " NOTES: Dana Barros set the NBA mark by hitting a 3 in 89 straight games from Dec. 23, 1994-Jan. 12, 1996, during stints with Philadelphia and Boston. ... Adams made a 3 in 79 straight games during the 1987-88 and 1988-89 seasons with Denver. ...
