Suspected Boko Haram attacks rock Maiduguri
On Monday morning, a female suicide bomber attacked a mosque as she waited to pass through security to enter the building. The attack comes just days before president Muhammadu Buhari’s deadline to stamp out the group expires on Thursday.

That would then lead to another trip to Denver in the Divisional Round to face the No. 2 seed Broncos.

Valeant Pharma Signs New Distribution Deal with Walgreens, Shares Surge
Instead of expected revenues of billion to .2 billion in 2015, Valeant now expects .4 billion to .5 billion. U.S.-traded shares of the drugmaker jumped nearly 15 percent, or .75, to 7.98 in morning trading Tuesday.

After taking a 14-0 lead on its first two series, Cincinnati came up with only one field goal in the remainder of the game.

The Broncos defense swarmed in the second half and was absolutely ruthless in overtime – so ruthless, in fact, the Bengals only snapped the ball twice in OT.

The Pittsburgh Steelers playoff hopes took another shot Monday night thanks to the Denver Broncos beating the Cincinnati Bengals 20-17 in overtime. The Broncos snapped a two-game skid with its third overtime win of the season.

“It was my fault”.

“I’m 24 years old”, McManus told the Denver Post. “I’m sure I’ll see it. I’ll have a discussion with him about it”. To prove it could win a game like this against a great opponent.

Denver had a chance to win the game at the end of the fourth quarter, but McManus shanked a 45-yard field-goal try wide left.

“That kick was such an anomaly”, McManus said. Hill had an wonderful game for them against us a year ago. Denver quarterback Brock Osweiler said the Broncos put out some stuff they hadn’t seen on tape, But the biggest change was the faster pace.

The Broncos (11-4) overcame a 14-0 first-half deficit and clinched a fifth consecutive playoff berth, while Cincinnati (11-4) blew a chance to earn a bye in the playoffs.

Denver can earn the top seed in the AFC playoffs with a victory over San Diego and a loss by New England at Miami on Sunday.

It’s all over after this, so even though Week 17 is largely meaningless for most teams, the fact that it’s our last full Sunday of football until next September makes it special. In the first half McCarron completed 12 of 17 passes, aided by 21 runs for a 4.0 yard average.

The Bengals defense went into conservative mode and allowed quick passes, hurry up offense, and very few blitz packages in the second half. To overtime we went. They didn’t want a lot of atta-boy’s tonight. “I could feel that already”. Osweiler, making his sixth straight start in place of Peyton Manning (foot), came in with a sore left shoulder and left with a sore left elbow. “I don’t know”, Bodine said.

Dunlap raised his sack total to 13.5 to break the previous mark of 13 set by Eddie Edwards in 1983, which was the second season after sacks became an official stat.

When the Bengals ended up with the game’s opening possession, I thought that would be a bad way to start this game. “There’s a lot of things we wish we could’ve had back. We focused on our jobs, one play at a time, and we were able to march down the field”. While it will be tough, that’s a game the Bengals should win, with or without Andy Dalton.

On Monday night, I watched the Broncos defeat the Bengals, and I felt kind of the same thing.

Poise and confidence seem like traits any quarterback lucky enough to play in the National Football League should have, but that’s simply not the case, especially when it comes to backups. Had the refs made the right call? Monday night’s loss at Denver was the second.

Ward should boost Denver’s run defense, too. The 14-10 Bengals lead with 10:20 left in the the third quarter was the first time in the contest that the Broncos showed real life and turned out to be the turning point.
