DENVER (AP) -The Denver Broncos' revolving door of running backs kept spinning Sunday night with Tatum Bell inactive. Coach Mike Shanahan, who said last week that he regretted believing Bell's insistence he was healthy, deactivated his starting tailback for Denver's showdown with the San Diego Chargers. Bell has two sprained big toes, but talked his way into the line last week at Oakland, where he mustered 37 yards on 14 painful carries. Bell acknowledged Thursday he was still hurting and would proba |

The Raiders turned in an admirable effort last Sunday against the visiting Denver Broncos, but came up short in the 17-13 game. It was the second straight loss for Oakland since the club went on a two-game winning streak at the end of October. Oakland could have a new quarterback on the field this week as Aaron Brooks, who began the seas |

| (MySportsbook) - If you like gripping storylines, Sunday night's battle between the San Diego Chargers and Denver Broncos at Invesco Field at Mile High should please you immensely. The game pits two longtime AFC West rivals, who just happen to be tied atop the division at 7-2, and represent the division's two most recent champions. The winner will likely wear the tag of Indianapolis' foremost challenger in the AFC, while the loser will fall at least temporarily into the slot of a Wild Card team that no one |

DENVER (AP) -The Denver Broncos must pay $220,000 to former receiver Ashley Lelie in connection with the dispute over his departure to Atlanta. Lelie's agent, Peter Schaffer, confirmed the news Friday. ``We derive no enjoyment having to go down this road in the first place,'' Schaffer said. ``We never relish having to contest anything with the Broncos.'' The ruling was reported Friday by The Denver Post, which said an arbitrator has ruled in favor of Lelie in his grievance against the team. Broncos o |

DENVER (AP) -The Bells are coming clean. Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan was miffed at rookie Mike Bell for his poor play in Pittsburgh, where he ran 17 times for 28 yards, so he benched him last week at Oakland, where Tatum Bell returned to the lineup despite two sprained big toes and managed just 37 yards on 14 carries. Shanahan mentioned twice this week how disappointed he was in himself for getting fooled by Tatum Bell for insisting he was healthier than he really was. But Shanahan said he was s |

| Canton, OH (MySportsbook) - Former Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis and offensive linemen Bruce Matthews and Randall McDaniel are the three first-year eligible players to make the list of 25 semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2007. The preliminary list of 111 former players, coaches and contributors was whittled down to 25 modern-era semi-finalists on Thursday. That list of 25 will be reduced down to 15 candidates in January.

DENVER (AP) -If anybody has LaDainian Tomlinson's number, it's the Denver Broncos. On the cusp of scoring his 100th touchdown faster than any player in NFL history, the San Diego Chargers' remarkable running back has never played particularly well in Denver, where he's averaged 53 yards in five trips, all of them losses. ``Well, they take me out of the game,'' Tomlinson said. ``I haven't had the ball much in Denver. They end up taking me out of the game, whether we get behind and we're not running the |

For more than a decade, the Denver Broncos have plugged in any old (or young) running back and ranked near the top of the league in rushing. With San Diego coming to town Sunday night with the AFC West lead on the line, their goal is to turn LaDainian Tomlinson into any old running back. The game between two 7-2 teams is notable for something else: a coaching matchup that contradicts the styles of two coaches. On one side is San Diego's Marty Schottenheimer, who in 21 seasons as a head coach has been |
