| DETROIT -- The Detroit Lions have taken good care of the ball this season, and now theyre going up against a team that hasnt forced a turnover in a month and a half.Matthew Stafford isnt letting his guard down.Turnovers are a funny thing in this league, the Detroit quarterback said. Sometimes you dont have them for a while, sometimes they come in bunches.The Jacksonville Jaguars are certainly hoping their turnover margin evens out a bit down the stretch.Theyll enter Sundays game at Detroit ranked ahead of the Lions in total offense and total defense, but Detroit is tied for first place in the NFC North while Jacksonville is last in the AFC South. The big reason for that is that the Jaguars are last in the NFL in turnover margin at minus-14.Jacksonville (2-7) hasnt forced a turnover since Yannick Ngakoue intercepted Andrew Luck in a game against Indianapolis on Oct. 2. That was more than 23 quarters ago.Since then, the Jaguars have gone five games without a takeaway, which is tied for the longest drought since the 1970 merger.It has been a point of emphasis and we have to continue to stress it, defensive coordinator Todd Wash said.The Lions, meanwhile, have lost only one fumble this season, and Stafford has been intercepted just five times.Theres things that I still have to clean up, but our guys have done a really nice job of fighting for the ball if its contested, a really nice job of running with proper leverage, and holding on to the ball securely, Stafford said. All that kind of stuff is key. Its a little bit involved with everybody, its something that weve focused on and try to be as good as we possibly can with it.The Lions (5-4) have only forced seven turnovers themselves, but their ability to avoid big mistakes has helped them move into playoff contention despite being ranked 23rd in both total offense and total defense.Here are a few things to watch when the Lions host the Jaguars on Sunday:SLOW STARTS: Jacksonville has another dubious streak going. The Jaguars have failed to score a touchdown on their opening possession in the past 23 games, the longest current streak in the NFL. The Jags havent reached the end zone on their opening drive since Week 2 of the 2015 season against Miami.Since then, they have 17 punts, three field goals and three turnovers on opening possessions. Blake Bortles has thrown three opening-drive interceptions this season, including one last week against Houston.TIGHT FINISHES: Every game the Lions have played this season has been decided by seven points or fewer. Detroit has trailed or been tied in the final two minutes of regulation in every game, but Stafford has engineered enough clutch drives at the end to lift the Lions above .500.INJURIES: Detroit LB DeAndre Levy, who hasnt played since the season opener because of knee issues, was on the practice field this week on a limited basis. Its not clear when he might be able to return to game action.Its a sign of progress in terms of where he is just in terms of his rehabilitation and those kinds of things, coach Jim Caldwell said. Wed be happy to get him back whenever hes back.The Lions are coming off their open date. In their game two weekends ago, they were missing cornerback Darius Slay because of a hamstring injury, but hes been able to practice fully heading into the Jacksonville game.HOMECOMING: Jaguars receiver Allen Robinson is a Detroit native who went to high school in nearby Orchard Lake. He said he has some experience playing at Ford Field from high school.Robinson had 80 catches for 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns last season -- and says he kept working hard in an effort to build on that.For me, it was continuing to challenge myself on some of the weaknesses that I felt like I had, you know, as far as always trying to continue to be a better route runner and trying to be more versatile as far as after the catch and creating separation in my routes, he said. I would say that my main, main focus coming into this year was for sure my route running.IMPROVEMENT: The Jaguars have converted only 35 percent of their third downs this season, but they went 10 of 17 last weekend in a loss to Houston.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL .---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Nick Chubb Jersey .

Cheap Browns Jerseys Free Shipping . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web. MILWAUKEE -- Just before the start of the ninth inning, Braves first base coach Eddie Perez made Chris Carter aware that Milwaukee had accomplished a rare feat.The Brewers struggling hitters broke out to score in every inning they batted for the first time in franchise history, beating Atlanta 11-3 Thursday.It was the eighth time since 1961 a team has scored in each inning it hit during a nine-inning game, the Elias Sports Bureau said.I then looked up (at the scoreboard) and was like, `Oh yeah, we did score in every inning, Carter said. I didnt even notice that. Thats pretty cool. I dont think Ive ever seen that.The Brewers needed an RBI triple from Orlando Arcia with two outs in the eighth to score. Braves center fielder Ender Inciarte almost came up with a diving catch, but the ball skipped past him, allowing Jonathan Villar to come around from first base.We were talking about it in the dugout, Arcia said through a translator. I wasnt even thinking about it in my last at-bat. I was just trying to get a good pitch, put a good swing on it and try to get a hit.Carter hit a two-run homer in the first to put the Brewers on the board. Milwaukee took a 3-0 lead in the second when they tried a double steal. Manny Pina was tagged out between second and first, but Keon Broxton scampered home.Scooter Gennett and Hernan Perez hit solo homers in the third and fourth to help Milwaukee build a 6-0 lead for Matt Garza. The Brewers run in the fifth inning came on a two-out single by Gennett.Erick Aybar homered and Nick Markakis had an RBI single in the Atlanta sixth. Aybar also doubled and singled.The Brewers pulled away in the bottom half on a three-run double by Pina. Perez added a two-out RBI single in the seventh to keep the run of scoring in every inning alive.You dont see that look on the scoreboard ever, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. Ive never seen it before.Garza (4-4) won his third straight start, allowing two runs and seveen hits in six innings.ddddddddddddve been say for a while that Ive just been waiting for my stuff to come back, Garza said. Its back. Ive been able to pitch like I have in the past. It is refreshing. It is a spot Ive worked real hard to get back to.Making his second start of the season, Roberto Hernandez (1-1) gave up five runs and seven hits in four innings.After scoring eight runs in the first three games of the series, the Brewers wound up with 14 hits.I dont think Ive been a part of that before, Braves left fielder Jeff Francouer said. It was tough. You want to tack on runs every inning and they were able to do that against us. When you let that happen, youre not going to win.SMOOTH TRANSITIONBy going 3 for 5, Brewers 3B Jonathan Villar is hitting .432 (16 for 37) since moving from shortstop to third base to allow top prospect Arcia into the lineup.ON THE BOARDPinas double gave him the first three-RBI game of his career. The 29-year-old was making his third start for the Brewers since being recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Aug. 1. He played five games with Kansas City over the 2011 and 2012 seasons.TRAINERS ROOMBraves: RHP Joel De La Cruz is hoping to be able to make his next start after leaving Wednesdays game with a right knee contusion.Brewers: OF Domingo Santana (right elbow soreness) will play his third rehab game with Class A Wisconsin on Thursday in Beloit. OF Ryan Braun was given the day off.UP NEXTBraves: RHP Mike Foltynewicz (5-5, 4.37 ERA) will face Washington for the first time in his career Friday. He limited the Cardinals to one run over six innings in his last start.Brewers: RHP Jimmy Nelson (6-11, 4.02 ERA) will look to snap out of a rut when he faces Cincinnati on Friday. After posting a 2.88 ERA in his first 11 starts, Nelson is 1-8 with a 5.40 ERA in his last 12.
