With his numbers down and his frustration level rising, Brady has found his on-field demeanor being scrutinized by media and fans. In Sunday night's 17-7 loss to the Denver Broncos, Brady screamed at officials from the sideline, hung his head after three-and-outs and lay facedown on the field for several moments after his last-gasp, fourth-down throw fell incomplete. ``I guess that's something that's been brought up quite a |

The official announcement that New England would face the Seattle Seahawks in an exhibition game on Aug. 8 was made Sunday by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell before the Patriots lost to the Denver Broncos 17-7. ``It was rumored for a bunch of weeks, so I always think it would be fun,'' Brady said. ``I love traveling so I am looking forward to it. It is a long ways away, but I think it is cool that the Patriots are one of the teams they chose.'' G |

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -Jake Plummer threw two touchdown passes to Javon Walker and the Denver Broncos, who had yet to allow a touchdown this season, led the New England Patriots 17-0 two minutes into the fourth quarter Sunday night. Plummer, criticized in Denver after throwing four interceptions and no touchdowns in his first two games, outplayed Tom Brady, who had his third straight mediocre game since losing his top two wide receivers - David Givens as a free agent to Tennessee and Deion Branch in a t |

DENVER (AP) -If there's one thing Rod Smith doesn't like talking about, it's concussions. He's had three of them in the last year, including one in the Pro Bowl in February. The latest one knocked him from the Denver Broncos' game that they won in overtime against Kansas City on Sunday. When asked this week how his recovery was going, Smith snapped: ``Next question. Lets move forward. Lets get to the football. Get to the football. I'm fine.'' Pressed for an answer on his health, Smith replied: ``Any |

Michigan's Mike Hart has run for 100 yards in each game this season behind a zone-blocking concept that the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Gophers have used successfully. Chad Henne got into a groove with the passing game last week for the first time this season - connecting with Mario Manningham for three TDs - and likely will put Wisconsin's scoreless streak to a test |

DeBord implemented a zone-blocking scheme similar to what has made the Denver Broncos successful at running the ball, doing away with a style that tries to create holes in specific areas. The new-look schemes helped receiver Mario Manningham catch a career-high three passes from Chad Henne, and linebacker Prescott Burgess to make t |
