| (MySportsbook) - The Denver Broncos begin the second half of their 2009 season eager to avoid a repeat of what had occurred the previous year. The Washington Redskins may already be doomed to such a fate. The sputtering Broncos will attempt to put the brakes a two-game skid when the current AFC West leaders head to FedEx Field this Sunday to take on a reeling Redskins team that's simply desperate for a win of any kind. Denver had been the talk of the NFL world after getting off to a surprising 6-0 start un |

Portis was knocked out of last weekend's 31-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Zorn met with Washington's leading rusher at the team's practice facility Wednesday and said Portis ``needs to get rest.'' He said Portis went to see a doctor for tests. Portis did not speak to reporters. In other Redskins injury news, strong |

DENVER (AP) -Josh McDaniels had the Midas touch at the start of the season, his every move paying off as the Denver Broncos shocked the NFL with a 6-0 start. Then, the first-year head coach started fiddling with his roster during the bye week. So much for the age-old axiom - if it's not broke ... The Broncos (6-2) have suddenly hit the skids since coming off a break, dropping their second straight with a 28-10 loss to Pittsburgh on Monday. Denver's rushing attack was nonexistent against the Steelers, |

Following an October 25 bye, the Ravens looked sluggish at the start of their meeting two weeks ago with the Denver Broncos, scoring six first-half points. Luckily, the defense held Denver off the board and Baltimore found its offense in the second half before cruising to a 30-7 win. This past Sunday versus the Bengals, the Ravens were not as lucky.

Winners of five in a row, the Steelers are looking again like a team no one would willingly play in January. Or February. The Denver Broncos might pass along this message to the Cincinnati Bengals: The Steelers aren't much fun in November, either. The Steelers' defense-driven 28-10 victory in Denver on Monday night put them in position to take over sole possession of the AFC North lead |
