Denver certainly hasn't been cooperating with that scenario, jumping to the division lead at 5-0 while watching the Chargers stumble to a 2-2 start.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -This might be the biggest game the San Diego Chargers have played in October in a long time. Under siege from everyone from their fans to the general manager, the Chargers host the surprising Denver Broncos on Monday night in a tussle that could go a long way toward deciding the AFC West title. This is as close to must-win as it gets for the Chargers, and it's not even Halloween. Denver (5-0) comes in with a 2 1/2-game lead in the division. If the Broncos win, and don't collapse the way |

Such bye-week intensity indicates that Dallas isn't in denial over a 3-2 record, even though the Cowboys say they were a play or two from knocking off the unbeaten New York Giants and Denver Broncos and sitting at 5-0 themselves.

So they're fine-tuning things while hoping for a boost from t |

Whatever Lewis' mindset may be, reality proves that the Bengals are indeed 4-1 thanks to a four-game winning streak following a season-opening loss versus the Denver Broncos.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -Josh McDaniels' tough love apparently has done the trick. Denver Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall, whose temper tantrum at training camp drew a nine-day suspension, is back to being his Pro Bowl self. In the last two weeks, Marshall, showing his head is clear and his hip is healed, has caught two big touchdown passes to help the unbeaten Broncos defeat Dallas and New England, respectively. After his 51-yard TD against the Cowboys, in which Marshall avoided a half-dozen tacklers |
