Duke downs Indiana in OT
When Indiana took a seven-point lead with 4:03 left in the game , it looked like Duke was headed for another heartbreak. Braxton Berrios’ 60-yard end-around run set up Mark Walton’ 5-yard scoring run that cut it to 20-14 with 13:10 left.

Peyton Manning has missed five games since leaving the Denver Broncos November 15th game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to plantar fasciatis.

It’s Sesame Street , the kiddie classic that was facing funding woes until HBO announced a partnership with it this past summer. The show will make its debut on the premium cable service on January 16th, 2016 with back-to-back 30 minute episodes.

But the session won’t lead to any change in Manning’s status for Monday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals (he’s out) or lead the Broncos to make any definitive declarations about Manning’s future.

Cincy is going with an uncommon Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday practice routine so the team can have Christmas off on Friday. Glazer also noted that while it appeared early last week that Manning might be ready to return to the starting lineup, those plans have been put “on hold”.

If the Denver Broncos continue playing only half-games, the only manner in which they’ll go all the way is downward – and all the way out o the postseason.

So much so, that when Peyton Manning is practicing he’s not even with the rest of the team so as to not be a distraction.

“I’ll be a part of his big workout on Saturday”, Kubiak said.

One key? Going back to receiving basics with Demaryius Thomas and Vernon Davis, who’ve both notched drive-killing drops in recent weeks.

“Watching that kid play, I mean, he’s something else, does it all day, plays extremely hard the entire game”, Kubiak said. “I’m very confident in my abilities”. “He’s dealing with a hamstring-type of deal”.
