McClendon winning a challenge on a bang-bang play at fir

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - Tom Brady says Peyton Manning does everything right.Manning has read that Brady wants to play until hes into his mid-40s ... and he could probably do it.As usual, the stars of the richest quarterback rivalry in NFL history are right on target.The 16th chapter happens Sunday when Manning leads the Denver Broncos against the New England Patriots, two first-place teams on four-game winning streaks.You just know youre going to get one of the best offences in the league, said Brady, 10-5 against Manning. What that means for me is our offence has to be at our best.Just check out the numbers:The Broncos (6-1) lead the NFL with 32 points per game. The Patriots (6-2) are third with 29.8.Manning is the top-ranked quarterback, is tied for the league lead with 22 touchdown passes and has thrown just three interceptions. Brady is fifth in passer rating and has thrown for 18 touchdowns and two interceptions.Each is on a roll with 14 touchdown passes in his past four games.The atmosphere is going to be unbelievable, Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski said.Both defences face tough challenges, but have improved since last year.The Broncos additions of defensive end DeMarcus Ware, cornerback Aqib Talib and safety T.J. Ward have helped them become the fourth-ranked defence in the NFL and the best against the run.The Patriots signings of free-agent cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner strengthened the secondary and cut down on long pass completions that hurt last season.Manning vs. Brady may be on the marquee.But theres a lot more to the hit show.Its never just one guy, Denver coach John Fox said. This is a team game. There are a lot of moving parts to offence, defence and the kicking game.The Broncos are 32-7 in three years with Manning and reached the Super Bowl last season. The Patriots have won 10 straight AFC East titles, excluding 2008 when Brady suffered a season-ending knee injury in the opener.New Englands Bill Belichick calls Manning the best quarterback hes ever coached against.Fox mentioned other greats hes faced — Joe Montana, Dan Marino and John Elway.No two players (are) alike, Fox said, but I can tell you the two that will be playing this week are right up there.Some things to watch for in what could be a preview of the second straight AFC championship game between the teams:SACK ATTACK: Brady will have to throw quickly against the pass-rushing duo of Von Miller and Ware. Miller is tied for second in the NFL with nine sacks and Ware has seven. Miller has a six-game sack streak and is lighter and faster than last season when he missed six games for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy and one with a knee injury. Denver has 23 sacks in seven games after getting just 41 in 16 games last season.Theyre phenomenal players, Brady said. Those two guys are factors on every play.RECEIVING ADVANTAGE: The Patriots passing game has improved in their four games since a 41-14 loss at Kansas City. In last Sundays 51-23 rout of Chicago, Brandon LaFell had career-highs of 11 catches for 124 yards and Gronkowski caught nine passes for 149 yards and three touchdowns. Manning has more dangerous options with tight end Julius Thomas, tied for the NFL lead with nine touchdowns, and wide receivers Demaryius Thomas, Emmanuel Sanders and Wes Welker. Sanders had three touchdown receptions in the previous game, a 35-21 win over San Diego.HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE: Denver has lost its past four games in Foxborough since winning in 2006. They led there 24-0 at halftime last November, but the Patriots staged their biggest comeback in history and won 34-31 in overtime.Its Tom Brady, Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. He turns the game up to a whole other notch in New England.At home, Brady is 87-13 in regular-season starts and the Patriots have won their past 13 games, the longest current streak in the NFL.REPLACEMENT RUNNERS: Denvers Ronnie Hillman rushed for more than 100 yards in two of his past three games as a replacement for Montee Ball, out with a torn right groin.New Englands Stevan Ridley is out after suffering a season-ending knee injury. In his place, Jonas Gray, more of a straight-ahead runner than Hillman, rushed for 89 yards against the Bears in his second NFL game after spending this season on the Patriots practice squad.AFC TITLE GAME PREVIEW?: The Broncos beat the Patriots 26-16 last season in the AFC championship game in Denver. If theres a rematch, the result of Sundays game would help determine home-field advantage.I think both teams understand how big this game is, Sanders said, and thats the reason we want it.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Kent Hrbek Jersey .Y. - The New York Rangers have reached a one-year contract extension with goalie Cam Talbot, keeping Henrik Lundqvists backup away from unrestricted free agency.

NEW YORK -- Robinson Cano drove in a run and scored another in a most unwelcome return to Yankee Stadium, helping the Seattle Mariners beat New York 6-3 Tuesday night for their fourth win in five games. Amid lusty boos from a modest crowd on a rainy, 46-degree night, Cano began his first game in the Bronx since joining Seattle this winter for $240 million with a wink -- at Yankees starter CC Sabathia (3-3). Cano got a mock cheer when he struck out to end the inning, then was met with chants of "You sold out!" from the Bleacher Creatures when he took his spot at second base. When Cano grounded out to first base in the fourth, first baseman Mark Teixeira gave him a smile after the close play. The five-time All-Star was even booed when he cleanly handled a grounder. Chris Young (1-0) gave up a second-inning homer to Teixeira and not much else in 5 2-3 innings to earn his first win since 2012. Mike Zunino had a career-high four hits, one courtesy of a replay review that sparked a four-run fifth inning. Fernando Rodney gave up an RBI single to Brett Gardner in the ninth before striking out Derek Jeter and Carlos Beltran with two runners on base. Cano really riled up the crowd in the fifth after driving in Seattles first run with a groundball to Teixeira with the bases loaded. Seattles big inning started with Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon winning a challenge on a bang-bang play at first. Zunino, the catcher whose errant throw to second in the third inning on Gardners stolen base gave New York a 2-0 lead, was ruled to have beaten out a grounder to second base. Sabathia gave up a single to Willie Bloomquist and a bunt hit to Abraham Almonte to load the bases. Yankees second baseman Brian Roberts was playing near the bag and did not reach first to cover when Teixeira fielded the bunt. Cano hit a sharp grounder to first for thhe run, Corey Hart followed with a two-run double and Justin Smoak made it 4-2 with a single.dddddddddddd In the seventh, Cano reached on an infield single to second base and stole second. He was greeted there by Jeter, who gave his former double-play partner a friendly tap on the chest. Earlier, Jeter had playfully run his fingers through Canos fuzzy beard. Facial hair was no-no during Canos nine years with New York. Pinch-hitter Dustin Ackley and Zunino had RBI singles in the seventh, more than enough support to give Young his first victory since Sept. 2, 2012, for the New York Mets. He missed last season after having shoulder surgery and was decisionless in four appearances this year. The 6-foot-10 Princetonian held New York to three hits and three walks. Sabathia was chased after putting two on in the sixth, his shortest outing since July 26. He gave up nine hits and four runs in five-plus innings. He struck out six. NOTES: Mariners first base coach Andy Van Slyke was ejected by third base umpire Adam Hamari in the bottom of the eighth. It came shortly after Cano was called out on a check-swing appeal. ...

Yankees CF Jacoby Ellsbury was out of starting lineup because of a sore left hand. ... Mariners RHP Hisashi Iwakuma (torn tendon in middle finger) rejoined the team and had a bullpen session at Yankee Stadium. Hes scheduled to pitch again Friday but McClendon would not commit to saying it will be in the majors.
