The Indianapolis Colts are next to last in the NFL in run defense. The Denver Broncos are next to last in scoring. Nonetheless, the Colts are 6-0 and the Broncos 5-1 going into Sunday's game in Denver because of Peyton Manning for Indy, and a Denver defense that's allowed only two touchdowns all season. That doesn't stop the scrutiny and criticism in either city, especially in Denver, where the Broncos have always been the biggest thing in town. So as they stumble on offense, the cries increase for the |

While only one of those teams, baseball's Kansas City Royals in 2003, failed to make the playoffs, only four of them - the Rockets in 1993 and 1994, the Chicago Bulls in 1996 and Denver Broncos in 1998 - have gone on to win their respective championships. The Sabres are well aware that early season success doesn't guarantee anything. ``Yeah, I think it would be pretty neat in the midst of an 82-game season, but it's not something we we |

Kathleen Walsh, a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office, in a statement said the case was dropped out of concern ``about doing justice when there is not sufficient evidence to proceed.'' Droughns, who played for the Denver Broncos until a 2005 trade, had been arrested for investigation of third-degree assault and harassment after a May 12 incident at his suburban Denver home. An arrest report said Droughns and his wife, Kellie, had been arguing when he threw her to the grou |

But could the man who led the nation with 20 sacks at Louisville last year, when he set an NCAA record with 10 forced fumbles, play special teams? That was the question. Unconvinced, the Denver Broncos deactivated the 5-foot-11 defensive end for the first three weeks of the season. ``Special teams, that's what I had to get better at,'' Dumervil said. ``And I knew once I got that down, I'd get my chance to do my thing on defense.''

Carthon either resigned under pressure or was fired - take your pick - as the club's offensive coordinator following the Browns' dismal performance on Sunday against the Denver Broncos. He was replaced by offensive line coach/assistant head coach Jeff Davidson, who will assume play-calling duties for the immediate future. ``Maybe this is what the offense needs,'' said guard Joe Andruzzi. Yeah, and a whole lot more. Six wee |

| (MySportsbook) - When watching the Denver Broncos play it's easy to see why they don't get as much publicity as some other AFC teams, but they still may be the best team in the conference. Since the opening-week loss at St. Louis, the Broncos have used a stifling defensive approach to help improve the team to 5-1 on the season. Mike Shanahan's squad has allowed just two touchdowns this season, and has earned solid wins over conference opponents New England and Baltimore. This Sunday's game was not against |

Prior to his stint with the Browns, he accumulated 13 years of coaching experience, most recently as offensive coordinator for Dallas (2003-04) and Detroit (2002).
