Denver’s win finalized the AFC playoff picture.
NZ Captain Lauds Amir’s Inclusion In Pak Team
IAN BOTHAM Banned for taking cannabis, he returned to Tests against New Zealand at the Oval in 1986. He admitted his mistake we should back him now.
It certainly seemed that way inside the CBS broadcast booth early Sunday evening as Jim Nantz and Phil Simms discussed the playoffs that would now appear to again have Manning as Denver’s starter.
Canada decries mass execution in Saudi Arabia which killed 47, including cleric
Al-Nimr did not deny the political charges against him, but maintained he never carried weapons or called for violence. In response, Saudi Arabia summoned the Iranian ambassador to protest against the Tehran’s reaction to the execution.
If this were to happen, the Texans could very well play host to the team now coached by their former head guy, Gary Kubiak. Now, exactly zero of the turnovers were Osweiler’s fault. And it could be argued that his two interceptions, one of which hit receiver Jordan Norwood in the hands before being picked, weren’t either.
Not surprisingly, the coach declined to say who would start at quarterback when the Broncos, now winners of five straight AFC West titles, play on January 17 in the second round of the playoffs. When Manning was listed as the backup against the Chargers, it was his first backup role since his freshman year at Tennessee. Also, Manning hadn’t played well all season. “It’s been a little weird here for me, too”. Manning has never served as a backup in his National Football League career. Denver didn’t commit a turnover during his six drives. That move allowed the Broncos to open up the run game to the right side of the field and Manning’s leadership and ability to recognize defenses carried the Broncos to a victory. The NFL is investigating the allegations – which Manning said he welcomes to “get it over with”.
Peyton Manning entered to a roaring ovation Sunday. “We know obviously what the game means to them and what the atmosphere’s going to be like”. Unlike so many of his earlier heroics, this was a victory won more with Peyton’s head than his arm, his audibles on running plays the likely difference between victory and defeat.
GOODBYE CHARGERS: It may have been their last game as the San Diego Chargers.
The Indianapolis Colts are not yet eliminated technically, but they need so much help from other results that only the most optimistic of Colts’ fans still believe they can make the postseason. They must win to gain the first-round bye unless the Chiefs and Bengals both lose Sunday.
They still get a first-round playoff bye, as the No. 2 seed. “That’s what I concern myself with”.
With the loss, the Chargers officially have the No. 3 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
“It was tough on the emotions”, Osweiler said. However, running the ball against the Denver Broncos is not an easy task either as outside linebacker Von Miller and defensive end Demarcus Ware have been continuously stuffing the run. He said “My focus is 100 percent on the Chargers’ defense, and doing whatever I can to prepare to go win a football game”, after having been questioned on the importance of being a starter. Manning said, “I’m happy to be more a part of it now than just being in street clothes…and working out on my own”.
