Winless since 2016, the Cleveland Browns give it another shot tonight: It's the New York Jets vs. Cleveland Browns in NFL Thursday night football week three action.
The Browns are 0-1-1 after suffering two heartbreaks in the first weeks of the season. They appeared to have Pittsburgh beaten in week 1, but a last-second field goal was blocked, leaving them in a 21-21 tie. Last week the Browns had a late lead against New Orleans but saw it slip away with four missed kicks and a crucial penalty.
Tonight, they try again, hoping to beat the favored Jets on the road. You can get Browns vs. Jets score updates and stats here tonight once the game is underway and we will have other live updates posted. There's also a live twitter feed at the bottom of the story.

Preview from the Associated Press: Jamal Adams and the Jets are well aware of the struggles going on in Cleveland.
They know the Browns are still looking for their first win since 2016, and New York isn't taking them lightly. If anything, the Jets consider their opponents Thursday night a dangerous, if not desperate, bunch.
"They're definitely out there to get their first win," Adams said Tuesday, "so we've got to come out with our 'A' game."
The Jets are 1-1 after a convincing victory in their opener last Monday night in Detroit was followed by a mistake-filled performance Sunday in a loss to Miami.
This will be the third game in 11 days for New York, and a big-time test for rookie quarterback Sam Darnold. The No. 3 overall pick was solid in his regular-season debut, but was up-and-down in the home opener. He'll face a Gregg Williams-led defense that will throw lots of looks and pressure Darnold's way.
"I think every team in the NFL is dangerous," Darnold said. "Every team on every given week has a chance to win, that's how I'm looking at it. I'm really looking at it as just the next opponent. What does that defense do that poses a problem for us? Or, what can we do to pose a problem for them, is kind of how I look at it just scheme-wise."
