The fact remains: The Denver Broncos need to figure out how to play four solid quarters in a row.

Missing country singer’s dog was found alive with friend’s body
Strickland’s wife, Helen, wrote Monday on Twitter that her husband’s dog, Sam , had been found but her husband was still missing. Searchers also found Strickland’s boat, which had capsized and his dog, Sam , who was OK and had stayed by Morland’s body .
“I’m 24 years old and I don’t think I’ve ever kicked the ball like that in my life: grade school, elementary school, or anything like that”, McManus said. “It felt great to finish the game that way”. It’s going to be very tough on us physically.
Packers refocus quickly to Vikings after desert nightmare
There is only one scenario in which Seattle can finish as the No. 5 seed and open the postseason at NFC East champion Washington . It’s even true that the Vikings probably have a better top-to-bottom receiver/tight end corps than Green Bay right now.
If Denver beats the San Diego Chargers in its regular-season finale on Sunday, it would earn a first-round bye.
City’s Kompany Set For Another Month Out
Joe Hart needed to pull off a magnificent save from a Christian Fuchs shot in the 77th minute to keep Manchester City in the game. He added: “They had some chances and we had some decent chances as well, we’re slightly disappointed, but that’s the way it goes.
“We wanted to put ourselves in the playoffs, and we still control things we want to control moving on to San Diego, moving on to the future and how we want to be seeded within these playoffs”, Anderson said. The Bengals were making Denver’s league-leading defense look like a bottom-tier unit, and the combination of quarterback AJ McCarron and receiver A.J.
“I was diving for the football and it just happened”, McCarron said, adding he wasn’t sure how bad it was hurt. However, I was somewhat surprised to see more than a few Pats fans lamenting this one, so I figured I’d come through with five positives we can all take away from a game that ultimately didn’t really mean all that much from a New England perspective.
The Bengals still don’t know if starter Andy Dalton’s broken thumb will be healed in time for a potential first-round game, since they lost their best chance at a bye week last night. “This isn’t about myself”, said Osweiler, who completed 27-of-39 passes for 299 yards. The penalty aided the Broncos in their drive toward a field goal in overtime. “It was a hard-fought game. We got the job done, but we have more to do”. “We let the Broncos back in the football game”.
High stakes and the Broncos want Osweiler to play it. In his six starts, Osweiler has led the Broncos to a 4-2 record while throwing 8 touchdown passes against just 3 interceptions while averaging 265 passing yards a game.
Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus (8) unsuccessfully attempts a game-winning field goal as punter Britton Colquitt (4) holds during the second half of an NFL football game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Monday, Dec. 28, 20…
Here’s a fact about the Denver Broncos that is not going to change: The offensive line is miserable. He has gotten Demaryius Thomas involved more. He avoided traffic. He dodged defensive tackle Wallace Gilberry, outran safety Reggie Nelson, veered past Adam Jones and stepped through linebacker Rey Maualuga’s ankle tackle. There’s still a chance he’ll be unable to play on Sunday, and if he’s forced to sit out the Bengals will turn to quarterback Keith Wenning, the former Ball State quarterback who was selected by in the sixth round of the 2014 draft.
The 15-yard penalty was a key play on the drive that set up Brandon McManus’ 37-yard field goal that proved to be the game-winner.
“Sometimes that’s just how the game goes”, Osweiler said of the missed field goal.
Key Play: Running Hill up the middle for no gain on second and 20 on the first possession of the third quarter was signal – a bright flashing light – of how conservative the Bengals were going to be in the second half.

NOTES: TE Tyler Eifert (concussion) was among the Bengals’ inactive players. That’s something that would ostensibly help Manning in his bid to return to the field this season and send Osweiler back to the sideline.
