DENVER -- Von Miller tormented the quarterback. P. J. Hall Stitched Jersey . Aqib Talib had a pick-six .Just another Sunday for the Broncos, and after two games, the Denver defense is batting away doubts about whether it could lead the way to a Super Bowl repeat.The Broncos stifled another contender: This time, it was Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts taking a 34-20 beating.Im pretty sure we woke (critics) up today, said Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall, alluding to those who didnt think the Broncos would be a repeat threat without Peyton Manning, Malik Jackson and a few others who left after last seasons title.With 1:54 remaining and facing fourth-and-1 at the Indy 17, coach Gary Kubiak elected to kick a field goal to extend the lead to 26-20 rather than try to close out the game with a first down. A risky proposition giving the ball back to Luck, who has picked apart the Broncos (2-0) in recent meetings.Not so risky this time. On Lucks first play, Miller got the sack and strip, and Shane Ray returned the fumble 15 yards for a game-sealing TD as the Colts dropped to 0-2.If the game is on the line on defense, you can almost guarantee were going to finish the game and win it for us, cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. Weve been in that situation all year last year. Coming into this year, same thing.Something were accustomed to, were used to and we like winning on defense.The Broncos rode that defense all the way to a championship a season ago. They think theyre even better at this point, too, than when they went on to led the league in yards per game (283.1).We didnt shut down Andrew Luck at this time last year, Harris said.They held Luck to 197 yards passing and came up with the game-changer when Talib stepped in front of Lucks pass early in the fourth quarter and returned it 46 yards for a score. It was the ninth pick-six of Talibs career.Then theres Miller, who was constantly in the backfield harassing Luck, much like he did last week with Cam Newton on their way to a 21-20 win over Carolina.How many sacks did Von have? Five? Marshall asked.Only three, actually . But it probably felt like more. After one, Luck said about the only thing he could say to Miller: good sack.This is what I am supposed to do. Thats what I do. Thats why I dance, Miller said. Thats what I live for.What else we learned from the Colts-Broncos game:BUTLER ALMOST DID IT: Cornerback Darius Butler picked off a pass by Trevor Siemian and had a clear path for a TD. All of a sudden, he dropped to the turf with a hamstring injury after a 19-yard return. His afternoon was done. Ive never seen anything like it, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. I probably (thought) the same thing that was going through everyone elses head: `Its a pick-six. No one is going to catch him.ROCKY START: For a third straight season, the Colts start the year 0-2. They rebounded to make the postseason in 2014.There is only one level of frustration with losing, and that is, wanting to win, Luck said.AILING: Broncos linebacker DeMarcus Ware broke his right forearm early in the third quarter. Kubiak said the team will see Monday morning about the extent of the injury and whether we think its something he can play with or something that has to be fixed.IMPRESSIVE SIEMIAN: Siemian completed 22 of 33 passes for 266 and a pick. He also became the fourth Broncos QBs drafted by the team to win his opening two starts. (The others: Marlin Briscoe, Craig Penrose and Brock Osweiler.) I dont think you are ever going to be perfect, Siemian said. But its encouraging were doing some good things.WRITE THAT CHECK: Safety Darian Stewart was called for a roughing penalty when he hit Luck in the head as the quarterback slid late in the game. Thats just me playing ball, Stewart said. I just hope Im not fined. Stewart was docked $18,231 by the league for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Newton in the opener.TAKING A KNEE: Linebacker Brandon Marshall took a knee again Sunday for the national anthem, but isnt sure if he will do so again next weekend. When the time is to stand, then Ill stand, he said. Marshall has received plenty of support and criticism over his decision to join San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players in a plea for social change.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Youth Raiders Jerseys . The formidable trio of Canadian receivers -- individually known as Chris Getzlaf, Rob Bagg and Andy Fantuz -- will share the field at Mosaic Stadium one more time on Sunday. Maurice Hurst Stitched Jersey . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. http:///...man-stitched-jersey/ . LOUIS -- Roman Polak was celebrating even before Alexander Steen scored the winning goal in Saturdays 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. AKRON, Ohio -- Golf in Ohio must bring out the best in William McGirt.One month after his first PGA Tour victory at the Memorial, McGirt looked just as good two hours up the road at the Bridgestone Invitational. In his World Golf Championship debut, he opened with six birdies and finished with a 45-foot par for a 6-under 64 and a 3-shot lead.An Ohio sweep? That has happened only four times, and McGirt made a strong guess at the answer.Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods, Tiger Woods and Tiger Woods? he said. That would be pretty special company.He left out Greg Norman in 1995 (Memorial and World Series of Golf). But that makes it no less a select group.McGirt had some decent company behind him after an opening round of warm sunshine and fast conditions at Firestone. Jason Day, the worlds No. 1 player, was among three players at 67, while Jordan Spieth?managed to post a 68, despite having only one birdie attempt (he missed) in his first 10 holes.I wasnt supposed to shoot 2 under today, Spieth said.U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson had a U.S. Open kind of round -- 15 pars, two birdies and a bogey -- for a 69. His big celebration was walking off the 11th green to learn his alma mater, Coastal Carolina, had just won the College World Series for its first national title. His golf wasnt bad, considering he didnt practice much last week while celebrating his first major (and 32nd birthday) in The Bahamas.I didnt expect a whole lot today, Johnson said. I always expect to play well, but this golf course is playing tough.Only 17 players of the 61-man field broke par. The first round ended with only 58 players.Daniel Berger withdrew after his opening tee shot with a shoulder injury. Brooks Koepka withdrew after 13 holes because of an ankle injury. Ryder Cup captain Davis Love III, playing at Firestone for the first time since 2009, withdrew after a 78 because of what was described as a torn labrum.The field was missing Rory McIlroy and Masters champion Danny Willett, among several European Tour players who opted to play the French Open this week.McGirt had never played in a WGC until he became eligible with his playoff victory at Muirfield Village a month ago. He showed up at Firestone on SSunday, played nine holes and rode in a cart on the back nine. Johnny Townsend Stitched Jersey. I fell in love with the place because length is not everything out here, McGirt said. You have to drive it in the fairway. You have to drive it in the correct spots in the fairways to be able to attack pins. I love it because you cant stand up there and just hit it as hard as you want, go find it and hack it on the green. Its an old, traditional-style golf course, which I absolutely love. I dont know, maybe its something with Ohio I like.The most peculiar round belonged to Spieth, who said he has been in a lull the past month as he searches for something in his swing, particularly his wedges. It had the look of a score closer to 74 or 75, except the former Masters and U.S. Open champion kept hanging in there with pars. One shot hit a tree and bounced forward over the water into a bunker. He whiffed on a 7-iron that left him a tough pitch, but he managed to save par from 8 feet.He ended the front nine with par-saving putts from 20 feet and 25 feet. It wasnt until the 15th hole that he had back-to-back birdie putts, and he started converting them. He holed the last four.Im really just searching for something that isnt far off, thats real simple, Spieth said. It really is only taking place on my scoring clubs, but thats where you need them. Its close. Its almost there. And when it clicks, were definitely in business, the way the short game is.Emiliano Grillo and Jimmy Walker?were at 67 with Day, while Spieth was joined by Rickie Fowler, Anirban Lahiri and Charley Hoffman.Day said he felt a burden lifted when he made his announcement to not play in the Olympics because of Zika concerns, but he didnt think that equated to his golf. It was a tidy round with only one bogey and four birdies and a pair of tough par saves from a bunker on No. 9 and behind the green on the par-5 16th.It was just kind of a weird feeling of a day where I kind of made some good pars, kept the momentum going and all of a sudden I shot 67, Day said. Ive just got to keep grinding until Sunday is over. Cheap NFL T-shirts Wholesale Jerseys NFL Jerseys China Jerseys NFL Cheap Cheap NFL Black Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Youth NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
