With the game tied 17-17 and time expiring, McManus stepped up for a relatively easy 45-yard field goal attempt to give the Broncos their 11th win of the season and their first victory in three weeks. Arizona has won the last two by 23 (over a playoff contender, Philadelphia) and by 30 (over a playoff team, Green Bay).

Tima said the rejection was to blame for Abdullah making the risky boat trip that killed his wife and two young sons. She travelled to Belgium, Germany and Turkey, helping give a voice to those displaced by the war in Syria.

Russell Wilson joined that elite group after tossing five touchdowns, bringing his total to 16 touchdowns in the past four weeks. Wilson has thrown at least three passes and completed at least 70 percent of his passes in four consecutive games.
Several Bengals starters are injured and were hoping for a week of rest. But I think there are some things going on differently in how games are being viewed and people that are involved in situations and those type of things, and that just looks like one of those situations that took place. The Bills are calling the game their Super Bowl as head coach Rex Ryan faces his old team.
Manning did say earlier in the week that he is ready to play week 17 if the team needs him, and he did say he will do whatever is asked of him going forward. “When you get down to the playoffs you’re going to need all those type of wins”.
“It’s tough”, Green said. “The week before we went a couple of days, and then didn’t get through Friday”, Kubiak said.
The Bengals host Baltimore (5-10) on Sunday.
The Chiefs can still win the AFC West because they own key tiebreakers over the Broncos, including division record. “Playing against a team like Denver, points are at a premium, and just… they’re at a premium”. AJ McCarron made his second National Football League start and was impressive in the first half. I take the blame. McCarron was 12 of 17 for 119 yards with a touchdown and no sacks or interceptions as Cincinnati led 14-3.
“This one definitely hurts, when you feel like you have a lot of momentum and doing some good things out there and kind of spit out the bit in the second half”, running back Jeremy Hill said. “He did everything right”.
Broncos first half: 89 total yards, 16 rushing, three points.
“We always tell ourselves since April we wanted to be the best conditioned team so if we want to go up tempo we can and if we want to slow it down we can”, Anderson said. “That is what it comes down to”.
McCarron had an MRI on Tuesday to determine the severity of the injury, and the results revealed that it’s a sprain and that there is no fracture. It’s his non-throwing hand, so he’s expected to start against the Ravens.
To put it simply, both the Broncos and Bengals are wasting legitimately great rosters on subpar quarterback play. 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.

Cincinnati also blew a chance to earn a bye in the playoffs. It was recovered by Bengals safety Reggie Nelson. “I wasn’t nervous out there for the second one”.
