Head coach Hue Jackson is looking at any option that will get the Cleveland Browns a win, but he's elected to stick with quarterback Robert Griffin III in their next game Saturday against the San Diego Chargers.

The Browns have just two games left to avoid the distinction of being the second team in league history to go 0-16. Griffin has started the last two games, but has been unable to bring Cleveland close to a victory. He completed 17-of-28 passes for 196 yards in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills.

While Jackson announced Griffin as the starter, he said he won't hesitate to pull him for rookie Cody Kessler if necessary.

Kessler has started eight games this season and has been productive, completing 65 percent of his passes and posting a passer rating of 92.6. The Browns may want to get another look at Kessler in order to determine how to approach their quarterback options for next season.
