JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars can reach another miserable milestone Sunday against Denver.With a loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Broncos (7-4), the Jaguars (2-9) would become the fifth team in NFL history to post double-digit losses in six consecutive seasons.Its a dubious distinction Jacksonville surely would rather avoid. To do that, though, the Jags need to win out. That seems like an ultra-long shot for a team that has lost six in a row and already secured its ninth consecutive non-winning season.Its definitely frustrating because you always think year after year that this could be the year to turn things around, and when things dont go the way you expect, its so easy to get down, said veteran defensive end Tyson Alualu, one of three guys who have been on Jacksonvilles roster for six seasons. This is by far the most talented team Ive been a part of. We know thats not the issue.That just shows that this is a team that could be a contender in this league and we just have to find answers to how we need to finish games and win games.Only four others have lost as consistently often as the Jaguars. Tampa Bay had 12 consecutive seasons (1983-94) with double-digits losses. Detroit (2001-06), Oakland (2003-09) and Cleveland (2008-13) werent nearly as inept as the Buccaneers, but they still managed to post at least six straight seasons with 10 or more losses.The Jaguars seem like a lock to join the exclusive -- and depressive -- club. After all, they are winless in four games at EverBank Field this year and havent beaten a team thats finished with a winning record since 2012.Jacksonville seemingly will catch a break with Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian sidelined because of a sprained left foot, leaving rookie Paxton Lynch to make his second career start and first on the road.Denver needs a victory to keep pace in the crowded AFC playoff picture. Coach Gary Kubiaks team has dropped four of its last seven games, including two of three on the road. The Broncos trail Oakland and Kansas City in the AFC West.I dont pay attention to that stuff, star linebacker Von Miller said. We just are trying to put our best football out there. That is all we can do. We still have five weeks left. It is a long way. Taking it one game at a time, playing as good as we possibly can and whatever happens, happens.The Jaguars, meanwhile, continue to play hard despite mounting losses and speculation about coach Gus Bradleys job security. Players, though, seem to realize theyre playing out the string down the stretch.Every time you come to work, its like a job interview because these coaches go other places, Alualu said. This league is all about what have you done for me lately, so its about producing on the field and making plays if you want to stick around.Here are some other things to know about the Broncos and Jaguars:GROUNDED GROUND GAME: The Broncos struggling ground game took another huge hit when battering ram rookie fullback Andy Janovich underwent season-ending surgery on his left ankle Tuesday. When healthy, Janovich added toughness to the group thats been missing since C.J. Andersons knee surgery in October. The Broncos likely will play more two-tight end sets now with A.J. Derby and Virgil Green.PLUCKING BRONCOS: The Jaguars have signed a free agent from Denver in each of the last three seasons, and only defensive tackle Malik Jackson has panned out . Jacksonville signed guard Zane Beadles to a five-year, $30 million contract in 2014 that included $12.5 million guaranteed. Beadles struggled and was cut after two seasons. Jacksonville gave tight end Julius Thomas a five-year, $46 million deal last year that included $24 million guaranteed. Thomas missed four games in 2015 because of a broken bone in his hand and two more this year because of elbow and back injuries.BRONCOS INFIGHTING: Kubiak insists the incident was an emotional, heat-of-the-moment thing, but Aqib Talibs shove of Jordan Norwood after the returners second muffed punt last weekend might foretell fractures in the locker room. Denvers dazzling defense has carried an inept offense and inconsistent special teams all season, just like last year. Talib said he apologized and Norwood said he accepted. The Broncos own the best pass defense in the league and are fourth in total defense, but their offense is 19th because their O-line cant protect the passer or bore holes for running backs.DEPLETED BACKFIELD: The Jaguars would like to keep the ball on the ground against Denver, which ranks 27th against the run. But running back Chris Ivory (hamstring) wont play and backup T.J. Yeldon is still recovering from an ankle injury. So Jacksonville might have to count on seldom-used reserve Denard Robinson.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Dallas Cowboys Pro Shop .

Brandon Morrow allowed five runs on six hits over three innings. He struck out two, walked one and hit a batter. Edwin Encarnacion had a two-out, bases loaded two-RBI double in the third inning. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Trevone Boykin did not just hit the ground running.He hit it running, passing and winning in a last-second rally that sure made for a splashy NFL debut.Competing to be Russell Wilsons backup, the rookie from TCU engineered a last-minute, 88-yard touchdown drive in four plays, connecting with Tanner McEvoy with a 37-yard scoring pass, and then handing the ball to Troy Pope for the 2-point conversion with no time remaining, lifting Seattle past Kansas City 17-16 Saturday.Boykin, competing with veteran Jake Heaps, replaced Wilson after one possession and had some good and some not-so-good moments before getting going on the final drive.The clock showed 0:00 when McEvoy out-positioned and out-jumped Malcolm Jackson in the end zone, bringing the Seahawks to within one point in a game they had trailed all day.Our guys fought to the end. Thats what we did, said Boykin. Tanner made a great catch.The stunned Chiefs were flagged for having 12 men on the field, moving the ball to the 1, and Pope went off left guard to score the winner.Boykin, a star at TCU who was not drafted, was 16 for 26 for 188 yards. Keeping the winning drive alive, he had a scrambling 15-yard run. It was second-and-9 when he lofted the pass to McEvoy, who was waiting in the end zone for the ball.For the first 59 minutes, the Chiefs dominated, getting a touchdown drive from Alex Smith on their first possession and three field goals from Cairo Santos, including a career-long 58-yarder.Steven Hauschka also had three field goals for the Seahawks.PICKING UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFFSeahawks: Hauschka was 3 for 3 after hitting 29 of 31 last season, connecting from 52, 49 and 50 yards.Chiefs: Santos was also perfect on three attempts and Marcus Peters, last seasons NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, had an interception of Wilson at the goal line.ROOKIE WATCHSeahawks: Brandin Bryant, the 290-pound rookie out of Florida Atlantic whos been turning heads in practice, had two tackles at left tackle and seemed to hold his own against more experienced Chiefs linemen. Tyvis Powell, a safety out of Ohio State, made an alert interception off a tipped ball, got up and returned it 11 yards to put the Seahawks at midfield.Chiefs: Special teams hopeful Eric Murray made a nifty stop on the 9-yard line on the kickoff following Santos field goal, leading to KC next taking possession at its 44.INJURY UPDATESeahawks: The injury issue thats been hurting the Seahawks since camp opened kept a number of players from eeven suiting up, including running backs C.dddddddddddd. Prosise and Zac Brooks and wide receivers Deshon Foxx, Kevin Smith and Kasen Williams. ... Tight end Jimmy Graham, who returned to practice on Wednesday for the first time since injuring his patella tendon last November, stayed home.Chiefs: Linebacker D.J. Alexander went out in the first quarter with a rib injury, but returned late in the second.POSITION BATTLES:Seahawks: Boykin got off to a good start in his competition to back up Wilson. His case is strengthened because his college offense is similar to what hes doing now. Flashing the agility that made him a dual-threat star at TCU, he also faked out linebacker Ramik Wilson for a 5-yard gain on third down.Chiefs: Nick Foles, signed after camp opened to perhaps provide experienced backup for Smith, completed half his eight passes for 37 yards and was high on his first couple of throws, a problem hes been having in camp. But tight end Demetrius Harris dropped a well-thrown ball on third down.Smith directed a nearly flawless touchdown drive in his only possession, making a particularly nifty third-down completion to set up KCs touchdown. He was 3 for 4 for 36 yards.Wilson was almost equally impressive in his brief appearance. But a goal-line interception by Marcus Peters thwarted an otherwise impressive drive by the Seahawks first-team offense and its revamped offensive line.Heaps was 2 for 6 for 20 yards.Nick Foles, who had success in Philadelphia with Andy Reid, completed half of his eight passes for 37 yards after replacing Smith but was high on several throws. Tyler Bray, the strong-armed undrafted fourth-year quarterback from Tennessee, was 3 of 9 for 48 yards.Taking advantage of Seattle mistakes, the Chiefs first-team offense drove 49 yards in eight plays to take a 7-0 lead on the games first possession. Knile Davis picked up 34 yards with the kickoff, then a facemask penalty on Steven Terrell added 15. On third-and-9 from the Seattle 21, Smith escaped pressure and found Jeremy Maclin on the 1. Spencer Ware went in for the TD.It was good work out there, going against another team for the first time, said Ware, who had 24 yards on five carries for an offense that rushed for 135 yards. Camps not over yet. Weve got a lot of work to do.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
