2014 Bills @ Broncos

he's brought stability to the quarterback position in buffalo took over in week five and you can see he's getting more comfortable he brings experience toughness and leadership to this offense but the strength of the team right now has been the play of their fifth ranked defense they're giving up just 18 points a game nobody's been better at getting off the field on third down or getting to the quarterback they lead the league with 48 sacks to win today they're gonna have to get to peyton manning all right to remind you today's game in spanish were available using the sap button on your television the broncos won the toss they have deferred so the bills will receive another sellout there's a look at marcus thigpen who was waved a couple weeks ago and picked up off the waiver wire signed off the street by this buffalo team the kickoff by mcmanus is out of the end zone meaning a touchback and let's quickly go to the third member of our crew stacey dales well kevin a lot of people think this game is an extremely tall task for these incoming buffalo bills but not the buffalo bills doug marone told us this is not a david and goliath football game we aren't going to change what we do on the road but we are going to be extremely aggressive kevin all right thank you so much so there's a look at doug marone who's got this team seven and five coming off a win last week over the cleveland rounds they got it first and ten from their 20. fred jackson he's stuck and brought down on the play and with the initial hit stephen johnson it's a gain of two and he's up to the 22 with a look at kyle orton replaced ej manuel for october he went three and one nine tds three picks november the numbers evened out rich and now he enters december yeah he's done a terrific job especially when you consider he wasn't even in the picture in the offseason wasn't a part of the otas no mini camps no preseason he's picked up things quickly he's brought leadership to this position on the 22 it's sucking down an eight and they go outside to hogan with the beat on him and a stop is david brewton jr the gain is out to the 29 and he picks up six on the play on the offensive line rookie right tackle chantrell henderson has played well in the words of his coach doug maron you like what he's doing over there and receiver robert woods has been playing well rookie wide receiver sammy watkins has slowed down a bit since his great start then getting off the line today rich is an important factor for this offense they have struggled a little bit against press man-to-man coverage and kevin they're going to see a ton of it today against this denver secondary it's third and one forward and outside it goes to his tight end scott chandler who's got the first down he's brought down on the play by talib he picks up four they'll place him at about the 32-yard line now for the number three defense on the line demarcus ware has been as advertised coming over as a free agent from dallas he coupled with von miller make that edge so dangerous for opposing quarterbacks combined 21 sacks ware and miller to leave returns as we mentioned and chris harris jr is ranked the number one cover man by pro football focus it's a first and ten on the first drive of the game with three tight ends fall start off that's going to be called on one of the newest buffalo bills marquis gray who had a terrific game against the cleveland browns in his bill's debut that puts him back five rich now to their own 28 with the first and 15. the former receiver and college quarterback university of minnesota he gives them some versatility kevin he can play tight end he can play in the slot he can also play full back first and 15. trying to run it up the middle there's not a lot of room brandon marshall who's the leading tackler for this denver defense only allowing a gain of one on the play as they try to take it up the middle with dixon well they've been pretty good on their opening drives for their last five games they've come away with points last week not one of them ugly start last week against cleveland their first seven possessions four punts two interceptions and a missed field goal they need to get off to a good start here on the road anthony dixon in the backfield five in the secondary for the denver broncos it's second down and 13. orton slam caught by watkins fumble the ball and it's loose and denver has reeled it in a fumble by watkins and picked up by raheem moore at the 46. watkins coughs it up well simple slant route and he catches it he has possession never feels the corner coming on his backside sami watkins has struggled here the last three weeks you got to do a good job putting the ball away can't allow roby to come in there and rip it out some talk richard maybe he wasn't even hitting the the rookie wall well you know you're not used to playing these meaningful games in december that's just a mistake that the rookie cannot make got to take good care of the football after the catch it's peyton manning with a first and ten cj anderson going up the middle there and hit by a couple initially it was by kyle williams it is a gain of one and finished off by brad and there's the five-time mvp of the nfl peyton manning well that's just so much fun to to call a peyton manning game kevin it's the guy is still at the top of his profession you look at the way he plays doesn't necessarily have to beat you with his arm he can beat you with his mind now that he's 38. second down and nine rocket anderson again the flag thrown on the play gets just inside the 45-yard line hit by a couple in there including brown holding offense number 64. 10 yard penalty replay second down and here's a look now at the offensive line they've used four different combinations three changes the right tackle but vasquez has been terrific and as we mentioned before the tight end julius thomas comes back today they will need him he had an injured ankle and he was out second down to 19 now with that penalty back to the 44-yard line of denver looking into the nickel here comes manny blocked by clady at the left tackle and across the middle damarius thomas chased and brought down by cory graham picks up six on the play and they get to midfield now the defense for buffalo dominant defensive line darius darius leading all nfl defensive tackles and sacks linebackers have been real good radham has been terrific taking the place of alonso the rookie preston brown has been wonderful in that linebacking core the secondary leotis mckelvin is gone graham takes his place safeties have performed well cersei with two interceptions last week he's also dropped two last week third down and 14. oh he's got it he's a little bit long for thomas demarius thomas running on the side with the coverage by stefan gilmore well this is where buffalo has been terrific third down efficiency the best in football trying to fit this one into two deep coverage gilmore knows he has help over the top from the safety cersei we're going to get the punt now coming from denver's britain colquitt they've been back again at about the 10-yard line and nope they cannot save it cherishing it in there off his shin omar bolden 50-yard punch each team has had it and each team has turned it to the other team a punt right there by denver fumble for buffalo doesn't come back to bite them bill's added five plays fumble the first time denver just punted sunken possession for buffalo from their 20-yard line real the first and ten a little run right there it's up to the 26-yard line it was fred jackson he picks up six on the play and the things you'll be watching for today well let's start with buffalo kevin it's important to avoid the negative plays the negative runs the penalties of sex they got a turnover already on the first possession from watkins affect the timing of peyton manning you can't allow him to get comfortable back there for denver they need to maintain some balance cj anderson's going to be an important part of it the rest of the way and you got to tee off on kyle orton if you can get around him you can force him into some mistakes break the tied in motion second down long three great the block but they come the other way a little shuffle pass and it's caught by jackson the old is running back in the nfl and he's toppled by t.j ward who comes from the denver secondary it's a gain of four and he's up to the 31-yard line this is a really good alert play here by orton trying to throw the ball downfield to two-man round it's not there at the last second he just feels fred jackson slip out and fred jackson makes a world of difference in the backfield i think he's one of the best third down backs in all of football he can block he's really smart with the protections and he's great getting out running those burst routes and those screen in the screen routes still trying to get his regular gate after the grunt injury back in october it is a first down up to the 31-yard line orton jackson making a miss and into the secondary he goes to the 43-yard line and brought down on the play by linebacker lorente mcrae it is a gain of 12 and a first down for buffalo well they've got to be able to run the football off off tackle slow down take the edge off of these pass rushers you've got von miller and you've got demarcus where you've got to be able to run the football successfully on the early downs his run defense of denver rich is pretty good number two in the nfl only allowing 72 yards on the ground to gain another stingy tough to run against your right kevin good job with the front first and then at the 43. going to his third option and that was sammy watkins who is being tailed on the near side by chris harris jr incomplete but you could see him make his progressions couldn't you yeah it's a guy that you know he's an experienced player does a nice job working through the progressions i think they're struggling a little bit because they're very young and an experienced wide receiver you've got woods who's a second year player watkins is a rookie chris hogan the third down receiver kyle horton has had to be very patient with this young group they're to have to win at the line of scrimmage they're going to get a lot of press man-to-man coverage bryce brown is coming as a running back on second down intending here comes brown getting a pulling block by wood and works his way on the sideline as you see belted out of bounds by a couple gets near midfield and the run is good for seven yards you look at the rushing attack what was the strength of this offense is now just producing at a pedestrian pacer averaging just 98 yards a game on the ground that's going to be key today to be able to have some success on the early downs they can't afford to fall behind in the down and distance against this denver defense jackson back in third down and three for kyle orton denver in the nickel little chip block by jackson now he gets the ball and he's got the first down out on the flat brought down by talib it is a catch and run to the 43. he picks up seven fred jackson number six among running backs in the nfl and receptions wow he's terrific i mean he just he's so savvy he's going to chip on von miller first and then he just leaks out and runs that little wide route and this is what he's in there to do he's going to help the tackle make his block a little bit easier and then he finds a way to sneak out he is such a luxury to comfort for kyle seventh play in the drive and orton looking for watkins coverage across the way by talib sometimes you can just see the timing and rhythm that's off a little bit kevin you gotta wonder is it is it the rookie receiver not getting his depth not running the right route versus press as opposed to off coverage there's subtle adjustments that he's still figuring out as a rookie against any particular defense would you change the the length of the route would you shorten it up against really hard press yeah sometimes if you get stymied at the line of scrimmage you don't get off you can't necessarily get your depth that's something you've got to work out between the receiver and quarterback jackson bumped into henderson on that second and ten they're not bended on the play by t.j ward it's a loss of a yard they go back to the 44 ward is playing closer to the line thus is in a lot of plays like we just saw well that's why they went out and got him he's a real thumper he wants to be down around the line of scrimmage he's a physical run support safety and if you're going to play buffalo you better defend the screen game they're very good they've got a back that's just terrific and they've got linemen that can get out in front of the screen and cut hogan is in good one in is wide receivers third down at 11. jackson again blocked by wood and then tackled across the way by david burton jr he gets as far as about the 38 and picks up five that'll bring up fourth down and about five i think you're always looking for ways if you're buffalo to steal an extra possession and is this it right here on fourth down yeah i mean you know you look at where you're at you're just maybe it's in between kicking it and putting the football look when you're when you're seven and five you've got to be aggressive they've got to be able to try and gain the possession against the broncos but it does rich in watching orton seem like he's more comfortable in this system you know what he's an experienced player kevin he's been on five different teams in 10 years but i think he's playing his best football with the bills fourth and six into the nickel orton for his tied in and knocked away nice coverage on the play by brandon marshall they were going for scott chandler and on downs the bills will give it back but they're trying to establish something early here in denver in a scoreless first quarter the clock at 5 30. the nfl on cbs is sponsored by southwest airlines book your low fare now at southwest.com jared the galleria of jewelry and by ford beautiful things happen when you go further ah the buffalo in colorado we just had a ten play drive by the bills they give it up on downs buffalo's first possession five and fumble by watkins second denver possession right now on the 39 in the pistol first and 10. good luck by green always got him well what a catch wrap down on the play in the secondary by buffalo circe the game takes him to the buffalo 23 38-yard connection to welker what a terrific throw peyton manning's actually going to fake the ball to cj anderson turns his back to the line of scrimmage and just throws a dart right between the two safeties to wes welker and he threw it about the only place he possibly could to welker welker's 36th reception of the season at the typical numbers we're used to seeing from west welcome that's looked like mario williams may have jumped but was he induced by the right tackle vasquez and that's the conversation you got to be able to mix up the snap count no one does it better full starting offense number 18 made a quicker to brought molten motion with his hands that's a five yard penalty it's still first down let's watch it again with very little movement there from manor first and 15. well peyton knows that he's got to find a way to slow down mario williams jerry hughes marcel darius and kyle williams one of the best defensive lines in football it's emmanuel sanders in motion cj anderson run right there the second year player out of cal takes it for six and he's down to the 23-yard line vote now for the 2015 pro bowl it's fantasy football for reals like the best players in every position regardless of conference either online or on your mobile device at nfl.com pro bowl ballot second down in nine big play here a 38-yard completion to west welcome and there just is not much there as he works his way to the 20 and picks up two is there a right way to defend manning what do you do if you're a defensive coordinator like jim schwartz coming into this world kevin historically teams that have had success defending peyton manning have been able to generate a pass for us with just three and four-man rushes the teams that can drop 7-8 in coverage and buffalo they're one of those teams i mean they have this great defensive line it's a defensive line that's generated 36 and a half sacks so they can do it i mean if they can rush three and four and get to payton and drop seven or eight coverage they have a good chance as a team buffalo number one in sacks in the nfl third and seven for manning and going for welker again what a play terrific duke williams knock away and make it no that was nikail roby roby is the one to knock it away a flag was thrown at the eight prior to the pass illegal contact defense number 37. penalty and an automatic first down so mikhail roby picks it up after the knock away defending welker well he's in position i don't know kevin i don't i just don't see it has it ever been harder to play defensive back in the nfl it is tough i mean the rules have made it very difficult for defenders i thought he was in great position made a terrific play on the ball you can see how roby's disappointed this defense of buffalo number five seventh against the run number five against the pass lewis lewis all led by former detroit head coach jim schwartz first and ten oh 20 he had cj anderson he was it as he got into the secondary by aaron williams then tumbles down a burst of eight right there for anderson who has had some good games on the ground lately 167 yards against miami 168 last week in kansas city against the chiefs he is running hard kim it's a power runner that can break tackles with his leg drive in the secondary he's carried it 59 times in the last two weeks second down and two that is a touchdown anderson second rushing touchdown of the season six-yard burst robey was called for the interference which gave him first and close first and ten deep really nice job by ramirez and vasquez on the right side montgomery gets a block this is too easy for cj anderson that's the first first quarter touchdown live by this buffalo defense in the last eight games now here's connor barth who had all those field goals last week in kansas city with the extra point making it 7-0 denver the big play was a 38-yard pass to welker and then cj anderson who has been the force of this offense for the broncos tumbles in from six well thursday larry fitzgerald and the first place cardinals take on the rams as the playoff chase heats up thursday night football at eight o'clock eastern time live on nfl network and the rams pitching a shutout for a second consecutive game it's the first time since 1945 when the rams were called the cleveland rams and they've had consecutive defensive shutouts and today they threw another one they're starting to come on wins over seattle san francisco denver two shutouts playing some great defense right now in st louis thick van getting the mcmanus kickoff and he'll bring it out as you can see for the buffalo bills he breaks about three tackles on his way out and finally brought down by linebacker corey nelson on a 27-yard return another sellout 237 in the first the nfl on cbs is sponsored by verizon xlte on america's largest most reliable 4g lte network and by bud light who reminds fans to stay in the game and drink responsibly winter park looks beautiful then up in the mountains not far from denver beautiful on the 19-yard line after denver just got a six-yard touchdown run by cj anderson it's horton first down in town anthony dixon will take it and booby break and some tackles as he pile drives his way up to the 30-yard line brought down by ward picks up 11 moves the chains for buffalo well we just had this final given to us as luck hit t y hilton with 32 seconds to play on a one-yard touchdown pass the colts their third fourth quarter comeback this year next week on cbs they'll take on houston in a very important game first and 10. dixon remains in the backfield with orton outside they go to hogan brought down the play by linebacker von miller and he picks up three and he's up to the 33-yard line slow starts which have been one of the issues with this buffalo offense yeah last week not good kevin we talked about that you know when you play against peyton manning and the broncos if you're a quarterback you got to think scoring every time you get a possession you know you got to score kick the score and if you have to punt you got to punt him back you're going to punt inside the 30-yard line make peyton manning go 80 yards he doesn't need any short fields doesn't need any turnovers to help him six defensive backs second down and seven and here they go in the end around this is marquise goodwin and he's forced out of bounds hit on the play by bradley roby the first round pick out of ohio state a 12-yard end to run by marquise goodwin out of texas and they move the ball to the 45 in a first yeah you're going to see smith he's a defensive and he gets he gets fooled he's got his eyes in the backfield he never feels good when coming around on the end of round another another way to get the ball on the perimeter for buffalo a lot of looks on offense from the bills to begin finish i like i like what we're seeing so long i mean they've been aggressive they went four on the fourth and six in the first possession can't play scary when you come to denver that goes back in their base first and ten good time forward now they come up the middle and he goes outside they had ward who was laying in weight in the weeds come up the middle and force the pass by orton that makes it now second down and ten well tomorrow on cbs fast cars a star basketball player military school cadets and a serial killer have something in common find out what on a mysterious new episode of ncis los angeles that's tomorrow at 10 9 central only on cbs that watching from the side second down and 10 for the bills you've done a really nice job doug maron kevin he has his team in a position but they haven't been in a long time since 2000 he'll go into december with seven wins nice brown is in he gets a little screen pass here urbeck was out the block as was wood and he works his way into the grasp of defensive back david brewton jr it is a gain of nine good chunks of yards picked up by this offense to the 46-yard line of denver yeah you got a good look at marshall he gets fooled a little bit and he slipped bryce brought the back door i always liked bryce brown i really thought it was a really had a chance to be a special player in philadelphia i thought it was a good pickup by the bills they can see that derek wolfe is injured and walking off with a look at brandon marshall they're leading jacqueline that is going to take us to the conclusion of the first quarter a six-yard touchdown run by cj anderson of denver the first place broncos at the end of one lead the bills of the bills have won two straight seven and five coming into today and on this particular drive and through the first quarter they showed some nice ball control yeah they're doing a nice job kevin i think the best way to beat manning is to keep them on the sidelines they've dominated time possession having the ball ten minutes and eight seconds 20 plays to eight for the broncos from the bronco 46 third down and one for buffalo jackson knifing his way right into the teeth of that d he was hit by sylvester williams right up the middle and if they spot it correctly which i think they will inside the 45 looks like they've got the first down so he makes the move right on this drive rich they got a 11 yard run by dixon an ender round of 12 from goodwin and a nine yard catch and run by brown kevin they've been good on the early downs that's really helped them when they've gotten the third down they've been in manageable situations third and one third and two they're convertible downs against this denver defense bryce brown is back in the backfield for quarterback kyle orton denver coming in nine and three winning at kansas city last week for the first and ten drown gobbled up on the play in a loss of two malik jackson back to the 46-yard line into the sideline and stacy dales well guys broncos defensive end derek wolfe concussion-like symptoms he is being evaluated in the locker room right now we'll watch him he's played well this year derek wolfe a couple sacks on that defensive line and more more reps for jackson just made a big stop in the backfield you got a lot of town up front you look at that denver defensive line wolf and williams and knighton of course demarcus wares had an outstanding season 10 zacks second down in 12. hogan oh he's got room to roam and close to a first down belted out of play by rookie bradley roby it is a catch and run of 13 yards they'll put him at the 34 of denver in a first down well the misdirection has been good for them i'm just gonna you see him just sneak hogan around but look at the pull it gets on the denver defense and hogan's able to slip out the back door hogan hadn't done much the last couple games did have the one-yard touchdown reception last week against cleveland he's not the fastest guy kevin but he's a he's a player that kyle orton feels very comfortable with he's going to do the right thing he's going to get his depth he'll be in the right place at the right time brown is in fake ender round to watkins they dump it off with a lot of congestion there and brown couldn't get his hands on it kind of bunched up incomplete second down and ten do you sense that with orton they've found some stability at this position as he took over for ej emmanuel in october no question i mean i think you look at the experience part of it kevin and i think he's he's brought some you know toughness to the position the leadership he's a smart guy he can handle a lot of volume the best thing right now he's got a high completion percentage he's not turning the football over just five picks of the season jackson in second down in general fred jackson good block on the side by courtney glenn and out of bounds he runs forced out of bounds by moore down to the 24 of denver close to a first down about nine and a half from fred jackson again it's a little misdirection you're gonna see jackson he's just gonna work backside they do a good job with the motion and the movement and you see the the pull that goodwin gives you on the back side and allows fred jackson to get up on the second level and glenn that left tackle sealing it off third down and one defense for denver orton here comes malik jackson here comes knight and he hits the deck wisely losing two he'll live for another day they're back to about the 26 yard line well this is not good by kyle orton kevin just not understanding where the first down marker is i mean they try and throw it on third and one it's not there and this is where he's really out of his own he's not a guy that wants to run with the football but boy you gotta make an effort don't you now this defensive coaching staff knows orton pretty well at denver don't they he played there he know they know what he can do i think that's there's an advantage i mean just familiarity with with kyle orton they have a history with him he knows john fox and the staff they know what he likes what he doesn't like what he's good at what he struggles with it should help this denver defense knowing that buttons to push that is a 44-yard field goal by dan carpenter last week he was 4-5 terrific horton gets him into field goal range with a succession of plays a 13-yard catch and run by hogan 10-yard run jackson and the 44-yard the broncos about ready to get the ball back in the second quarter is where manning has really paid things off that's where they make the move kevin 128 second quarter points second most is where they have a tendency to pull away so we just got a 44-yard carpenter field goal for the buffalo bills early in the second quarter and that ball's going to come off the tee to kick off here will be jordan gay a kickoff specialist in fact these are probably the only two teams in the league that have a kickoff specialist brandon mcmanus was resigned by this denver team and it's interesting you know since the the kickoffs removed from the 30 to the 35 you don't find that much for just the kickoff specialist although buffalo has had that for many years yeah you got a good one here though kevin that can really boom it and i think special teams talking to doug marone last night he said that they if there's they have an advantage they feel it's in the kicking game this is where they need to change field position i don't know if he tops it or what but there it goes and it wasn't very good close our conversation with the return here by the wide receiver andre caldwell a 25-yard return manny will come back out there six yard touchdown run by his back cj anderson puts him up 7-3 on cbs santa resolves here in denver this afternoon 44-yard field moments ago by the bills only the ninth play offensively run by manning today from his 37 first and ten anderson blocked by vasquez a wobbler down field and it is picked off by cory graham they were going for sanders here comes graham with his 12th career interception and blockers ahead he's got roby he's got williams and he's hit by demarius thomas and knocked out of bounds at the 20-yard line a 60-yard return peyton manning has just thrown his 10th interception of the season well kevin they take the shot on first and 10 and all kind of sales on peyton manning it wobbled after the interception and during the return holding by the defense number 95 10 yards from the spot of the foul it's buffalo's ball first out but the 60-yard return wiped out so they get it at the 40-yard line well they're trying to hit emanuel sanders on the post route he's got a little bit of separation there but the ball kind of hangs up on peyton manning it's underthrown and corey graham makes a terrific play on this ball he's goes up and catches it at its highest point manning's first interception rich in his last 80 pass attempts well he's he's been so good but that one just got away from him now let's see if the bills can cash in they had a wonderful 12-play drive the last time with the 44-yard field goal so they've had it three times five plays fumble 10 plays on downs and the field goal fourth possession first and gen horton and he finds his rugged tight end and that is lee smith fourth reception of the season tackle made by johnson among others the hat is go oh just headbutted by malik jackson look at smith in there just drawn away six yard pickup and they will place him at about the 47. that wasn't good and no yellow after all that just watch him right after this and hits him right in the chest with his helmet fish has missed that one a couple tight ends on second down and four wrapped up at the line it's a gain of a yard on the play malik jackson was right there he's up to the 47-yard line with a look at the numbers for our quarterbacks early in this one yeah not a lot of work for peyton manning so far but kyle orton has been pretty effective and he's done a good job when it's not been there down the field finding a completion to the backs especially fred jackson robert woods has been quiet so far for buffalo the wide receiver it had a difficult time getting the ball on the perimeter talked about the importance of winning against press man-to-man coverage jackson in the backfield nickel secondary third and three good block by glenn off the jacks oh read so well that time on it sniffing it out david brewton jr it's a loss of four back to the 43 each team has turned it over and each team unable to do anything with the takeaway see bruton right there he's he's got the back in man to man coverage so he's down there in the box as he sees as he sees fred jackson slip out the back door he's right there to make the play the secondary has played well their defensive line allows their secondary to play more aggressive colton schmidt to punt wes welker is back at about the 10-yard line for the denver broncos the wind negligible that's a beautiful day here it's gorgeous it just could not be any nicer about 56 57 degrees one step almost blocked the long snap from sanborn waving it away and because of the bad snap that he had to maneuver to get it was a short punt and they're still trying to get some position on where it is good catch by schmidt caldwell was running right at him the nfl on cbs is sponsored by t rowe price understanding the connections of a complex global economy invest with confidence playstation 4 greatness awaits and by frost brood coors light the game's most refreshing beer the fans get the fastest football scores and updates with the cbs sports app the fastest app for sports fans download the cbs sports app now just had a 14-yard punt but it was a poor long snap and they take over denver does with the first and 10 handoff to cj anderson from their 40 gain of three piling his way up the middle the hit by stephane gilmore well the special teams have been a little bit of a story here for the bills early kevin i said the importance of the kicking game for buffalo and you look at the poor kickoff from gay two series ago and the poor the rushed punt by schmidt kick off the the broncos got the ball to 37 this drive starts before the yard line saw garrison sanborn on the sideline the long snapper for the bills second down in which quarterbacks practice all the time don't they they do we talked to peyton manning on friday and i asked him what the over under was on drawing this one defensive line offside number 94 jumped into the neutral zone caused the false start it's a five-yard penalty still second down and you just study film there's two players in particular kevin on that side of the ball one of them's mario williams we saw him jump a couple times now and marcel darius he's got a history of jumping the snap count a little bit so i'm not surprised to see peyton manning use the snap count early and often in this one bills in the nickel second down in two sir hatch blue 20. anderson gets it here and brought down by kyle williams on a gain of three by midfielder our defense is rich when in the tape you watch are they playing manning differently well i think certain teams are kevin i think that you look at peyton and uh what they've done i think they've made a a shift a philosophical shift since the saint louis game i think they're trying to run the football a little bit more so i think you're seeing a little bit more seven eight man front you're seeing some 101 coverage teams are playing a little bit more man-to-man coverage against the broncos it is a first down and the end around sanders looking for some blocking got it from green the tight end and fourth out of bounds by williams chased by bradham picks up 13 yards on the play they'll take it to the buffalo 37 with some shoving after the play in the first down well you get so caught up with cj anderson that you don't feel the you're not anticipating the end around this is something that buffalo did to the denver defense in the first quarter you have a back that's coming off of some big big days 167 168 yards he gets your attention manning with the first and ten handoff to anderson that was read so well by mario williams came through the first time captain only allows a gain of one they go to the 35. he's having a terrific season kevin he's the afc defensive player of the month for for november you know he's of course he's a terrific rusher we know that about him got 12 sacks but he's he's so much better studying the last couple seasons at playing the run he is a complete player at the defensive end position came a bill back in 2012 second down and nine for peyton anderson read well that time too darius got him drove him down to about the 33 on a gain of two right then well you look at place selection and i think you go back to the st louis game and i think it was a real eye-opener for john fox and and adam gase in the offensive staff peyton got hit way too much it threw it 54 times and look at hell look at the bounce week 12 50 50. last week in kansas city which i thought was an outstanding game plan it was cold it was windy he ran the ball 45 times against the chiefs just been told cersei is out at france williams taking his place that's duke williams there's a third and seventh and they're gonna say that they were early on the hit sanders waylaid by stefan gilmour that was pretty close the timing well he hit him in the head he hit he hit him up in the neck and head region which you cannot do and what i'm surprised of kevin is that peyton manning never saw stefan gilmore and i just thrown another flag as the two teams away from the injured player sanders where chevin and pushing and john well what happens is he's running a man-to-man route into zone coverage and peyton manning never sees the corner stefan gilmour almost looked like he was leading with his shoulder let's watch it again hey he actually hits the right on the shoulder as the ball was almost at his fingertips you know you're a defensive player kevin i mean what do you say to these guys if you're jim schwartz i mean you're coaching him you're talking about lowering the aiming point and stefan gilmore's there he's got a defender or a receiver coming in his area but if you're trying to time the pass and leading with your shoulder but it was high that was one of the issues he hit him he hits him in the shoulder listen i thought initially him in the neck or the or the head region but watch where he hits him against the defense pass interference defense number 24 that penalty is declined unsportsmanlike conduct defense number 55. the penalty is accepted 15 yards in the previous spot automatic first down well so they're actually calling to pass interference and that so we looked at the hit you saw the flag come out so quick it almost looked like it was simultaneous and here's a reaction by emmanuel sanders a tough guy he is but i i don't know there's not do you find fault with the hit in the secondary that time by gilbert that was a bang bang play well timed and then he got him with the shoulder but he got him high but as you saw that was declined they go within sportsman eye contact from the 19 it is a first and ten cj anderson not by branham and he was brought down by darius who jumps on him at about the 12. that is a burst of six for anderson who a year ago only carried seven times as a rookie he's carried 59 times combined coming into today the last two games and hobbles to the sideline and they'll bring in juwan thompson they've gone through the running backs monte ball injured hillman injured little surprised ken we haven't seen julius thomas maybe waiting for the red zone which they are right now green is the tight end second down and four thousand then grabbed by preston brown hit on the play by nigel it's a gain of three on second and four bringing up third and one now near the nine see where they spot the ball there's julius comics yeah nine games in he was the most lethal red zone target in the league had 40 catches and 12 of those were for touchdowns they gave him the first down he got it so it's first and goal for denver i saw him doing a lot of individual work with peyton manning on the practice field on friday it really felt like he'd be a part of the game plan especially down this part of the field no seriously you remember first and goal at the nine welker hit at the two read by aaron williams second catch by welker picks up seven right there second down and goal wes walker so smooth in and out of these little out cuts it's a good job chopping at the top of the route sometimes it's not what manning can do it's what the guys around him can do yeah i mean you know this is a this is a very smart football team you look at this offense put a lot of pressure on the perimeter people change a lot of plays at the line of scrimmage you're going to be a smart guy to function in this system stuart just coming in and held up and done at about the two-yard line finished off right there at a couple manny lawson was in on the hit along with others it is a gain of a yard by newly instituted running back jeremy stewart who was signed to the active roster back in the 22nd of november you know you think about a team that's been so good down the red zone they struggled last couple last last week for example to convert just one touchdown of five red zone trips this is where they really missed julius thomas timeout has been taken and buffalo will use their first i'd like to remind you coming up the verizon halftime report jb tony bart boomer and coach cower for news scores and highlights as well as a preview of thursday night football on nfl network that's all coming up on the verizon halftime report from our cbs studios in new york look at manning now 38 you mentioned as you get older i guess you need to change as a quarterback uh especially a guy that's as detailed conscious as he is yeah he has he's gotten older kevin he's had to make some adjustments he doesn't no longer throws on when wednesday's any more practice doesn't go out two hours before the game i remember when he was in indy he and marvin harris and harrison and reggie wayne would go out and throw said one time he threw 200 balls before he actually took a snap in the game he no longer does that third and goal with the one anderson let's see we have not gotten the signal yet and now we do it as a touchdown anderson had just come back in after you saw him leaving a couple players ago on a one-yard touchdown run anderson's second touchdown run today for the denver broncos well he is so strong in his lower body and he's not very tall he just finds a way to get under that big offensive line sometimes these smaller backs they get lost behind that big offensive line well there was an interference penalty that was initially called on gilmore that was declined there were two big penalties the other one in sportsmen like conduct and that was on jerry hughes that was a one-yard touchdown run which culminates in a play 60 r drive for denver coming in having won two straight they've won three of their last four and rich the only team in the nfl to rank in the top ten in both offense and defense and anderson taking it across here they are reviewing as you can see he's there at the bottom but they will take a look at it as all scoring plays are reviewed after review the ruling on the field stands a touchdown one-yard touchdown run by cj anderson second today earlier one of six yards this of one connor barth with the extra point making it 14-3 denver a nine play 60 yard broncos the nfl on cbs is sponsored by walmart where you'll find unbeatable prices on this year's top gifts and by kelly blue book find out what you should pay for your next new car at kbb.com back in denver tonight on 60 minutes is there a new way to treat cancer a revolutionary doctor thinks so and here is plans only on 60 minutes tonight only cbs broncos with two rushing touchdowns coming in at nine and three with a look at peyton manning so far he's three of five i can't remember kevin last time peyton manning went through five passes in the first half of a football game and in terms of rushers they've run it 14 times anderson 11. certainly more of an emphasis on the running game right now was the production that cj anderson's had the last four weeks brandon mcmanus who was with this team for the first half of the season let go with the kickoff and picked up by marcus thigpen he leaves it in the endzone to the 20 on a touchback and this is the updated playoff picture in the afc you look at the couple divisions in particular kevin the afc north a little bit of a log jam there big win for pittsburgh today over cincinnati and how about baltimore beating miami and of course the afc west when you look at denver san diego kansas city all three of those teams made the postseason a year ago bills have it buffalo began 2-0 then lost three of four now they've won for their last six to be in the conversation first time they've had seven wins going into december and 14 seasons kyle orton with the first and ten down he goes malik jackson the shot back to the 14-yard line jackson gets his third sack of the season it's a loss of six oh he's right here i mean just you get pressure off the edge where it gets up up the field and it creates a little bit of a crease you see jackson kyle horton has to step up because of the pressure that ware gets as he steps he steps right into the lap of jackson good pass rush has speed off the edge and push up inside this defense had six sacks against albert smith in kansas city at arrowhead on sunday night second down 16 yards to go nickel secondary orton hit again and down he goes this time back to the nine von miller set number 12. third sack loss of five well the one thing about kyle orton kevin he's got a tendency to hold the ball and he's not very mobile in the pocket he's like a statue back there the broncos know exactly where he is going to be denver's just taking a timeout now they have two remaining kyle orton returning to denver for the second time since he was waived back in 2011 lost the duel with tim tebow first time he was back here he led kansas city past tim tebow in the broncos seven to three and of course he went to kansas city then to dallas and then signed in late august with the buffalo bills here's a guy who had no training camp no dotas and has had to learn on the fly with buffalo and he told us last night i had to step up in the pocket the ball's got to come out on time i can't hold it versus this denver defense now the bills need the 30. it's third down in 21. and i just saw john fox a moment ago yelling out to that defense alert screen into the dime underneath chandler hit by and hit by brewton whacked by marshall gain of 11 on the play so a little breathing space to punt this ball as chandler makes the grab his second today and the buffalo bills will have to punt coach fox will save that those 10 outs and use the two-minute warning with the short-handed wes welker back there peyton manning so good this denver offense kevin's so good in two-minute situations seven times in the final two minutes of the half they have scored six touchdowns and a field goal we're at the two minute warning in a 14-3 denver lead on cbs with the two-minute warning here in denver two rushing touchdowns by cj anderson the offense tilting in that running game toward him and he has made buffalo pay last punt for schmidt was 14 yards treating a bad long snap welker at the 33. ran down about the 39-yard line and he was hit on the play by the buffalo bills special teamer ron brooks seven yard return nfl play 60 encourages kids to come out and play for 60 minutes a day to learn how and to find great play ideas visit nflrush.com play60 and before today's game the broncos hosted select kids from the boys and girls club of metro denver who distinguish themselves in a play 60 challenge rich i'm looking at these numbers and peyton manning in the first half three or five what was the last time you knew peyton manning threw only five passes and a half of football kevin was the last time we heard an opposing head coach say the key to stopping the broncos offense is to stop the run now i've never heard that something but that's who they are i mean they're running the football right now with cj anderson and having great success yeah the first and ten manning scott sanders who is hit by duke williams the catch down to the 24 of the buffalo bills he picks up 37 on the play first down well terrific play action it gets the squeeze you get single high safety and peyton's able to find sanders up the scene and sanders takes another big hit sanders has had a career year he's not the biggest but he's he's willing to go across the middle of the field and do that dirty work first looking here for sanders and he was drilled by aaron williams in that hard-hitting secondary for the buffalo bills second down and ten they are taking turns right now teen off on sanders the play before it was duke williams and this time it's aaron williams manning has thrown an interception and that is only the 13th giveaway by this offense this season second down in 10. nickel secondary for buffalo the wide receiver screen it's welker and he was hit by roby and paying down the play by bradham it is a pickup of four to the 20. look at the production that they have had in these two-minute situations not surprising you consider it's peyton manning those wide receiver screens they use them a lot in denver because you can get that block if you're out there trying to block for the guy who gets the ball and it's also a good a good adjustment versus pressure it's a ability to get the ball into perimeter quickly and some receivers like walker and sanders third and six vascular is the black it's bobbled and then tammy reels and he fumbles the ball and buffalo is gotten it at the 10 stopping the drive with the second denver turnover today tammy was way laid and coughs it up playing with bad ribs and he felt all of it there keep an eye on duke williams he comes in he's the first one that gets the hit i think he jars it out from jacob tammy these safeties from buffalo have been bringing the wood some big hits by that group and you see the frustration for peyton manning so tammy who was with payton in indianapolis can't hold on to it after with a spin move so at the 10-yard line with a couple timeouts the bills will take over but you can see just 32 seconds remaining in the half of verizon halftime report coming up next jb company scores highlights and news a look at thursday night football on the verizon halftime report we're the first in ten and this is fred jackson wrapped up by malik jackson with no gain on the play and they stop it right there and the clock continues to tick although both teams have the two timeouts buffalo may just take a deficit of 14-3 to the locker room and i think buffalo has to be really pleased kevin with how their defense has played in this game that's a big stop right there before the half they're able to get another stop in the first series of the game after their offense turned it over jim schwartz has got to be feeling really good about how his unit has played for the first 30 minutes manning has been picked off in a fumble there by the tight end let's go down to stacy dales well coach another key stop for your defense but your offense just three points you told us yesterday we gotta score points that was your number one key how do you do it well we do we just got to keep the drives alive you know we were third and short here missed it had to kick the field goal we went forward on fourth down down there we need to convert there and go we got to make some more big plays and defensively you know the penalties obviously are hurting us you got to stop the penalties you know we were off the field on both those drives and wind up scoring so we'll go in and regroup come back out and field positions killing us right now thanks coach bills have won two consecutive games they're in the conversation in the playoffs in the afc denver has the best record tied with new england and the afc at nine and three we'll take a break then take you to new york you're watching the nfl on cbs nine and three denver seven and five buffalo we're going to the second half let's take a look at the bose game changer as manning hand it off to cj emerson for a six yard touchdown run manning has only thrown nine times in the first half the two touchdown runs by anderson who's been kind of the headliner offensively for this denver team over the last couple weeks kevin harlan and rich cannon this denver defense has shown some nice things in the first half they really have kevin but in order for buffalo to get back in the game i'm gonna have to start throwing the football down the field a little bit woods not a single catch and of course watkins just won but you look at the buffalo defense or the the denver defense really came out roby gets the big hit of course moore gets the fumble recovery they go forward on fourth down nice break up there of course constant pressure around kyle ortonsack from jackson they just did a nice job creating some pressure on the quarterback with four and five-man pressure so i'm thinking now of buffalo and what they have to do and how they view their first half and what they carry into the second you're not gonna win a lot of football games with just one field goal they've got to be able to take some shots on the early down they run the ball a lot on first down i mentioned that the fact that woods not a single throw in his direction and sammy watkins their first round pick he's been targeted three times he has just the one catch which was a 13-yard catch where he fumbled on the first possession and denver came in with only 12 giveaways they've had two here in the first half denver has also taken advantage of a fumble by sammy watkins they've gotten a takeaway and both these teams rich were boasting pretty good giveaway takeaway numbers coming in coming in buffalo plus nine and broncos were plus four in that category yeah absolutely kevin i think buffalo's got to hang their head on the defense as well defense has played well 158 yards almost half of it have come off two receptions a welker 38-yard reception of course sanders went for 37. jordan gay with the kickoff they leave it in the end zone to the 20 back down to stacy dale's just talked to john fox guys message to his players turn the page another 30 minutes to go real happy with the defense especially that stop at the end and no complaints with this offense that has been run heavy and peyton manning has been protected good stuff stacy thank you by the way i want to congratulate stacey who played college basketball at the university of oklahoma this past week they lifted her number 21 to the rafters of the lloyd noble center in norman one of the greatest female players in oklahoma basketball history congratulations stacy great to have you today here's the first down in ten they go outside and demurius thomas who's been quiet ushered out of bounds by cory graham who has a first half interception they pick up five to go to the 25. mary is thomas really quiet kevin just the one catch in the first half he's so good after the catch he could turn those short passes into long gains 88 catches coming in for over 1200 yards and 10 touchdowns buffalo's corners have played well so far this one and hit hard safeties safety's really played well peyton manning taking his time changing the plate the line of scrimmage with the second down in five he elects to go to the running back and that is cj anderson who is eventually after a duke williams hit finished off by nigel branham and brown on a gain of the yard but the flag tossed holding offense number 66 10 yard penalty replay second out it's on manny ramirez who is the right guard and the first half resume for the denver broncos here this afternoon well you look at it i'd say kind of a little inconsistent kevin they've had some penalties with drive killers you look at the first possession of the game they had a penalty and another one here now it becomes second down and 15 for manchester manning moves up nicely around mario williams he'll kick it outside to the running back thompson who digs his way into cory graham he's close to the first down hit also by preston brown the rookies up to the 29-yard line with a pickup of 14. kevin it just seems like they have so many running backs just hanging around you know you got ronnie hillman and monta ball not even in uniform today cj anderson he's been a pleasant surprise juwan thompson a free agent out of duke we saw stewart earlier does make a difference what back they put in there they still get production but manning puts them all on the same page in practice which you watched on friday well he is he leaves no stone unturned on the practice but he's always grabbing those young players between periods look at this juwan thompson he is being chased by a couple including williams and gilmore and he's all the way down to the 24-yard line of the buffalo bills a gallop of 47 yards and a denver first down huge play well he just bounced the ball to the edge somebody comes screaming down safeties have been so good today for buffalo but aaron williams misses thompson in the backfield thompson is a rookie he was a undrafted player out of duke who has only had coming into today 45 carries but a couple of nice plays there a 14-yard reception and that 47-yard run to the 24 with the first and ten manning welcome got it they were working on mikael roby they get down to the three it's a pickup of 21. it is first in gold denver a little bit of a back shoulder throw here by peyton manning in man-to-man coverage he's going to hold up wes welker in the hole he's got roby the safety really terrific thrill by peyton manning cj anderson is down there with manning with a first and goal anderson he's got two touchdown runs and there's number three from three a three-yard touchdown run by cj anderson his third today and the broncos the next their lead well they scored earlier the very same play with cj anderson offset do a nice job inside you look at the play of montgomery and franklin and ramirez center and center and the two guards have really played well inside against marcel darius and kyle williams second time we've seen anderson leave the field with a limp now here's connor barth undrafted great four years of tampa bay on the street and there he swings one through and it's 21-3 denver we've got 1201 to go manning usually gets it teams through the air today it's on the ground in that time cj anderson we're taping the wheel there of cj anderson who's had a terrific day part of a hundred and rushing yards whereas the passing game 142 it may not equate in terms of number of runs or passes but the numbers at the end of the day in terms of passing and rushing are more balanced which denver's aiming for well there's definitely been a shift kevin i think to try and have more balance after that st louis game where they threw it 54 times mcmanus kicks it out of the end zone over the head of thickpin and here comes kyle orton for his first second half snaps well they've got to get something going kevin you look at these first half possessions for buffalo kind of ugly fumble in the first possession they give it over on downs they get a field going to third possession and a couple three and outs and that's just uh it's not good enough i mean we talked about the key here in the second half and need some explosive plays they've got to be able to get the ball in the perimeter to woods and watkins got to find a way to get these guys some touches ruby dickson in the backfield first down in general this is dixon then he pushes the pile up to about the 24-yard line a host of broncos are there including sylvester williams on a gain of three one of the things as you say take a look at watkins is not having negative plays for buffalo they have for the most part tried to stay away from that in every game but they know on the road in particular and come back to bite you yeah i really can't turn the ball over the first series you know look at watkins there he's getting a lot of attention kevin you look at the success he had earlier in the season you're starting to roll coverage to him and starting to see teams match up a little bit you've got to do some things schematically to move him around a little bit they traded up for watkins a well-known story number four out of clemson first round pick second down and seven up the middle they come orton woods what a catch right in front of the defensive back raheem moore he's up to the 39 a strike of 17 in a buffalo first down i think their best receiver right now is robert woods kevin the quarterback's got a lot of confidence in in him that he's going to be in the right place at the right time and he's he has the ability to make the difficult catch woods out of usc second round pick and today with his first reception goes but 50 catches on the year it's first and ten jackson back in jackson slides by brandon marshall and then keeps his footing with the flag throne and he staggers down near the 40 will mark him out at the 38-yard line with a run of 23 but it may be a hole it is offense number 60 10 yard penalty still first down that's urbic so that penalty will wipe out a gain on the play of 25. just keep an eye on those two you look at the left guard urban he's trying to block knight and that's just he just grabs him and pulls him down the gate's another big run by fred jackson remember they had a interception return of 60 yards by cory graham back in the first half that was wiped out by a penalty so they've had some costly penalties today obviously bryce brown is in the backfield it is first in 20. cj spiller a guy who still marked this off ends out with a powerball but practicing now intercepted it's picked off by brandon marshall what a grab in front of the tight end scott chandler near the 34. orton throws the pick it's another turnover and the second for buffalo today well the tight end just gonna run a little hank route but keep an eye on marshall he watches the quarterback the whole way we always use the expression if you wait you're late he takes the extra hits and allows marshall to get right underneath the hook round first interception this season for the linebacker orton throws the pick right there kyle has now thrown six on the season they're going for the tight end and look where denver starts as you watch it just slipped right in front of him in decision i just waited too long to throw the ball to the tight end he had chandler open early juwan thompson is the running back from the 33 first and ten outside demaryius thomas looking for blacks flag is stone clady among a couple up there leading the way darius makes the stop at the 20 pickup of 13. but the flag thrown their first year referee ron torbeck's interference offense number 83 walking down field that's a ten yard penalty replay first down that's the fourth denver penalty and rich they've all been on the offense today well they get welker for blocking down the field early there you see the the left guard left tackle out front they'll let you go for a yard but you start getting your four yards down the field they're calling that defensive coordinators have done a great job pointing that out to these officials you have an injured player you take a look at orlando franklin the left guard our clock at 1003 in the third the nfl on cbs is sponsored by southwest airlines book your low fare now at southwest.com honda where you can get great deals during happy honda days and by fedex one rate simple flat rate shipping with the reliability of fedex west of denver you can drive and see the grave of buffalo bill cody franklin is out new guard ben garland first and 20 after the interception of kyle or manning low uncatchable he was covered graham providing it on damarious thomas to stacy dales well kevin you guys see juan thompson in there at running back for the broncos right now we've watched cj anderson come off the field hobbled on a couple of occasions but i'm told there is no significant injury he will return and good to go with the broncos and you might as well thank you stacey might as well build your depth at that position with ball and hillman still out yeah they've got so much talent there if they have to they'll do this they're just getting empty backfield and let peyton manning do his thing they need the 23 second down and 20 for manning welker who just smears that out of the air picked up by brown knocked down by bratam he's down to the 35 and picking up eight and one of the reasons he snares out of the year kevin he knows what's in front of him he's going to get hit wes welker's gotta hear it just watch he knows he sees whoop if you're you're not a big guy like wes welker i mean you know you look at a guy that he's got courage he's five foot nine 185 pounds he makes a living in the middle of the field against those big linebackers and safeties third down in 12 undrafted welsh welker who's got the most catches ever for a player undrafted the nfl third and 12. they need the 23. manning and that's picked off gilmore gets it he's got graham ahead he's got room to roam blockers ahead jackson and others down field trying to get him and down he goes out of bound manning there's a flag thrown at the 36. the pick off was snagged by stefan gilmore his third pick of the year this would be the third turnover if it stands by denver today and manning's second pick after the interception and during the return personal foul unnecessary roughness number 20 of the intercepting team graham 15-yard penalty from the spot of the foul buffalo keeps the ball first down so they have the long return there and they had grand pick off one he returned at 60 and there was a penalty on the return there by the bills but they get the ball back and stop manning and the broncos manning has been picked off twice today graham returned at 60 gilmore returned 148 both of those returns wiped out because of penalties during the return taking away what would have been great field position at the 38 of denver here's a first and ten watkins catches a laser brought down near the 40 grab by talib and picks up on the play 14 put him at the 40-yard line first and ten buffalo and watch him get off the line he's decisive we talked to him all week about eliminating those short choppy steps and just using your speed that's that's the thing that sammy watt can has going for him and those big biceps use those hands and that speed the line of scrimmage to create some separation which is the first time he's had the ball since he coughed it up in the first drive here is a bryce brown shuffle pass and he's brought down on the play by wolf he picks up four he's up to the buffalo 44. i think once you cross midfield here kevin you're really i think in four down territory i think buffalo's got to be aggressive coach told us last night he said we've got to gain possessions we need to be able to change field position we've got to be able to take advantage of some turnovers five in the secondary jackson is in second down in six they go outside and this is caught by hogan who is grabbed out there by david putin jr who's a terrific special teams ace seeing a lot of time in the secondary it is a meager gain of the yard to the 45. you know at some point you've got to you've got to test these corners of the broncos and you can't give chris harris to keep to leave and bradley roby a free pass you gotta make them play and buffalo has not done that you've got speed out there on the perimeter you've got guys like robert woods sammy watkins that can really run you've got to give him a chance against these corners buffalo 3-7 on third downs as you see they're number 26 in the nfl and third down conversions third and five comes pressure orton he's got in the tight end that's chandler across the middle and brought down by bruton also hit on the play by roby he works his way to the 47-yard line pickup of eight in a buffalo first down so i always like big tight ends guys that are six foot seven 250 pounds that can run even when you're in position you look at the safety he's in position but it's his heart he's got those long arms he's got that big body very difficult for bruton to get his hands in there it's a base defense for denver in the first and ten for buffalo anderson the block at the right tackle jackson tries to slip away and can't because there was some nice coverage there by the rookie bradley roby there's a flag thrown it's a loss of a yard they're back to the 48. trying to get the running game going today at times for buffalo now playing the pass that already been thrown it's second down now you're playing down from a 21-3 deficit tomorrow on cbs the wait is over mike and molly are back don't miss the season premiere tomorrow after two broke girls right here on cbs back to the 49-yard line second down and 11. hogan in the swat jackson of the backfield this is for jackson with a nice spin move he works his way into the defensive back chris harris another flag is thrown on that second 11. he was down about the 47 yard line left tackle here there is no play prior to the snap false start left offensive tackle five yard penalty it's still second down rich we knew these two tackles of buffalo had their hands full with where on one side and von miller on the other i thought they had to really play well up front kevin especially the two tackles glenn and henderson you know you're gonna have your hands full with guys like miller and ware most part they've done a nice job you're right second down 16. orton knocked away loose it's incomplete i don't know if marvin austin jr on that line by flailing his arms may have deflected that ball it'll bring out nonetheless third and 16 for buffalo i think mccrae gets a hand on it as well you'll see him here he just he gets oh you're right he gets the right hand on it but austin was coming in as well get those hands up bryce brown has come in third and 16 the bills need the 38 of the denver broncos here comes where orton moves up going deep he's got watkins what a catch working on the rookie robie and he back pedals down inside the 20 to the 19 yard line of the denver broncos a catch of 37 first and ten buffalo big time throw big time catch really nice job by orton avoiding the pressure he knows he has to step up from where he's able to reset his feet and make a very good accurate throw down the field you've got to give sammy watkins a chance against the secondary you thought the only way buffalo is going to really do something if they got watkins going yeah he's he's your he's your best most physical player at that position hawkins has got two passes on this drive of 14 and right there at 37. henderson the block at the right tackle this is horton and intercepted it's picked up by chris harris the top rated cornerback in pro football dancing with christ brown out of bounds at about the 41. harris has come up with his third interception of the season it's another turnover for the buffalo bills and chris harris snaps it the nfl on cbs is sponsored by chase freedom get your cash back and activate bonus cash back today and by kay jewelers every kiss begins with k it's that time of year orton was just picked off and for the denver broncos their first red zone takeaway in 17 games omaha cut steer steer cj anderson with the backfield we have the first intent handoff wrapped up by kyle williams at the line no gain second down and 10 let's go back to the interception by chris harris well they're running double posts they get the tight end inside to try and hold the safety but keep an eye on chris harris he almost runs the route for robert woods watch him just slip inside there right at the end of the in great anticipation by the veteran corner chris aaron is from kansas second down intent for hot wide receiver screen blocked by thomas catch by emmanuel sanders and brought down by cory graham close to a first down we'll save the 49 he picks up nine bringing up third and one for manning and the bronco offense and you can see he has been untouched well he talked all week about slowing down and really controlling this buffalo defensive line look at that he's dropped back 16 times he hasn't been touched he's getting the ball out quick and they've done a good job mixing in the run really forcing this buffalo defensive line to be honest and i don't know if there's a better defensive line in football oh they're terrific i mean it's the defensive line alone is accounted for 36 and a half for their lake high 48 sacks it's anderson on third and one into the grasp and down he goes williams there and also a hit on the play by manny lawson give him a gain of about two take a look at jim schwartz you know i was just thinking about manning and we're right now fairly deep in this third quarter with the player down manning has a streak of 51 consecutive games with a touchdown pass if he gets one today he'll try brady at 52 the all-time record 54 by brees i know trust me when they get down to the red zone they'll be throwing the football these guys as much as they may not say they you used to well you kept trying to buy stuff listen come on you know he's aware but look at cj anderson kevin as he's hopping off with that left hand they may have to shut him down is this a third fourth time that he's hobbled off the field i think that would make some sense you know you think about peyton manning he's the most difficult quarterback to sack you know if you make a mistake he's going to make you pay for it he never really is without answers i think jim schwartz really summed it up last night you know greater emphasis today is on execution from all 11 players because regardless of what defense we call peyton manning has answers thompson is in it is the first and 10 handoff he gets a block on the play by green and the tight end with the block opens the door duke williams brings him down at the 35-yard line of buffalo it is a 14-yard run with some nice blocking ahead for juwan thompson yeah this offensive line kevin you you talking so much about cj anderson and john fox said i i think you could throw any back in there and you'd have the same type of success i mean they're really excited about juwan thompson but i think when they made those changes up front when they put will montgomery in their center they bounced manny ramirez from center to guard and then of course louis vasquez from guard to tackle and i think you look at their ability to utilize virgil green paul kornick kornick is in right now wide receiver screen thomas the block for sanders is then grabbed across the way by aaron williams on a gain of five to the 31 some delinquent housekeeping here back in orlando franklin at the left guard now they've got a player down and this is louis vasquez and he is down about the 37-yard line catching his breath he has really played well not just against the pass we talked about their running game and that one personnel group kevin with virgil greene and paul kornick has made a world of difference in the running game there's their converted right tackle really makes his bones at the guard that's vasquez so what they've done is they've taken orlando franklin move him to the right tackle and they bring back in ben garland to play where franklin was at left guard second down and five anderson is out swan thompson is the running back and he gets the call at second and five goes down nicely that time by the hustling mario williams they throw him for a two-yard loss back to the 33. i think denver's as good as any team in football at making adjustments in game you saw the shuffle up the offensive line you got the backs in terms of how they utilize the different backs they'll do things kevin they haven't even practiced during the week that's the confidence that they have of this group well and as you say manning always has answers for whatever he sees or whatever he needs to do yeah he's got confidence in the group around him nobody wants to let down peyton manning it studies hard to make sure that they're interchangeable you can put these receivers in different positions everybody understands concepts in this offense third and seven they throw it in the dirt that time there was coverage you know who blew that up was preston brown he was holding off the block he was right near the intended receiver who is thompson brown who has been a terrific player the leading tackler rookie out of louisville comes up and makes that play yeah he's having a terrific season kevin leads a team in tackles with 89 then there to stop the run he's got good instinct stinks and reactions in the middle of that defense he's getting better against the pass this is connor barth who's gonna try a field goal it'll be a 50-yarder he had the five in kansas city on a chilly night last week from 50 yards the hold from cold quick and it is good drilling it from 50. coming off an achilles tear a season ago which forced tampa bay to cut him when mcmanus struggled here they signed this kid off the street he's now gone six of six for the broncos we are late in the third week 14 continues with sunday night football tonight at 8 30 a good one the patriots down in san diego that's on nbc tune in tomorrow from monday night football espn falcons and packers dan fouts and i will be on westwood one radio tomorrow night at lambeau for that game with two first-place teams at least coming into the weekend atlanta now new orleans lost today so atlantic nfc south seven unbelievable we've had six total turnovers in this game and that field goal by barth after the mcmanus kickoff that field goal by bartha 50 is the first time either team today with all these turnovers has cashed in and gotten any points barth right there puts it up and through mcmanus is on the kickoff team and here we go with our checklist and some of the things you thought were important headlines for both teams yeah we said buffalo had to avoid the negative plays kevin had not been able to do that the three turnovers haven't been able to get to peyton manning you look at the balance that denver has had offensively and of course we talked about the key getting to kyle orton they've got him on the ground three times already the last two interceptions in the last two possessions it's first and ten watkins nice catch brought down by roby he's up to the 28 and it's an eight-yard pickup let's take you to new york and james brown kevin drew stanton stepping up yeah after an alex smith interception drew stan finds jaron brown 26 yards out down the scene they take the lead over kansas city 17-14 back to kevin harlan what a great game second and two right here fred jackson gets some uh room moving up the middle he's up to the 32-yard line hit by a couple including brandon marshall out of nevada it is a gain of three and that should be the final play or close to it let's see what buffalo does here as the third quarter clock continues to wind down look at we'll get another one off there's no wind so it doesn't really matter i guess from that standpoint if you're trying to catch the last breath of win first down in ten glen with an ice block at the left tackle they go outside to woods who's brought down once again by the rookie roby it is a gain of eight he's up to the 38 that takes us to the end of the third manning in the broncos on top each team has turned it over three times today manning picked off twice he's not put a touchdown pass talking there with his offensive coordinator adam gase start in the fourth second and three orton underneath jackson redwell down he goes brandon marshall is there and it is a gain or two up to the 40-yard line to stacy dales no kevin john fox told us this team he believes is a better team this season than last year and you have to really look at this defense we talk about peyton manning and the offense but this defense two picks in this game and look at the free agent acquisitions tj ward demarcus square of course sanders on the offense but what a job john elway and company did in the off season guys great report and jack del rio is her defensive coordinator well all those players i think they realized when they went back and looked at last season they had to get better on defense what a catch on third and one he was in to the 43. watkins has been lighting it up in the second half 17-yard gain in the first down again a good clean release off the line of scrimmage you see him may be able to push a little bit there and create some separation right before the catch roby was the guy defending he started for the injured to leave last week at left cornerback to leave his back today but not in right now and julius thomas was active today but he has not played first and ten brown in the backfield and bryce brown will take it chased by brandon marshall who's all over the joint making the stop with the block from hogan and he picks up five and he's down to the 38-yard line there's got to be a little bit more sense of urgency from buffalo trailing 24-3 kevin it's time to go up tempo it's time to jump the ball a little bit is orton the guy that you see could take this team to the playoffs well there's no question about it i mean i think he's a good decision maker for the most part with the exception today i mean he takes pretty good care of the football they got to get better around kyle orton second five staggers three down he goes chris harris jr brings him down it's a sack he's back at the 40. it's the fourth sack by the denver broncos first today by harris harris with his first of the season well he never feels the the free rusher and again you get harris coming he's got his eyes down field never feels the stinger off the slot they lose two yards on the play back to the 39 third down and seven six defensive backs for denver glenn the block at the left tackle he provides time chandler brought down by harris they get a first down to the denver bronco 25 picking up 15 yards orton to chandler for a first well you see chandler he's just going to run a little out route he's going to run it on the safety tj ward sits down in the hole between ward and harris chandler's got four receptions in 37 yards today first and ten hey nichols secondary orton out of the reach of jackson on the cross and he was covered on the play by t.j ward seattle and philly let's go to james brown in new york seattle's d gets offensive health yeah off of sean mccoy fumble here russell wilson throw back to marshawn lynch from 15 yards out they take a lead of 17-7 that seattle d holding high filled out the offense to just a total of 66 yards early in the third quarter wow back to kevin harlan seattle getting guys healthy rich and lynch who was rested in the first half of the season much more prominent in the second half for the seal seattle has played much better since they're by kevin i think they're going to win that division second and ten watkins look what i found there he goes and bend it about the five yard line by raheem moore and others also hit by marshall great run after the catch as he reels it in a 20-yard pickup in its first and goal buffalo this one surprises sammy watkins i mean you talk about great concentration not a lot of guys can make this catch he never sees it coming through the traffic this is the watkins everybody saw the first two months well he's so big and strong and terrific after the catch that was the problem in the first half they couldn't find a way to get him the ball he's had a bit of a hip issue first and go at the four deepest penetration today by buffalo jackson orton thrown behind his intended receiver marquise goodwin he just misses the throw there four down territory for buffalo first down to take a shot to goodwin and look the reason he probably misses there he's trying to squeeze it between the corner and the safety trying to slow him up in the hole there's a lot of moving parts in your quarterback down there a lot of things to absorb take in set protections and things happen quicker in this part of the field that secondary they don't have as much ground to cover they're going to jump some of these routes let's tell the receivers get your head around this part of the field second down goal at the four then pushes out where knocked away beautifully on the play by t.j ward they were going for jackson at the five this ward has been sensational the former brown and a pro bowler a season ago hey look at fred jackson he's going to run he's going to start the angle route and he's going to come right back outside and tj ward he reads it the whole way ward has played well kevin he's a guy that in their nickel will play that linebacker spot down around the line of scrimmage del rio told us on friday playing as well as he's ever played in the nfl now in his fifth year orton has hit all nine of his third down passes today third and goal of the four orton got away from jackson low and maybe picked off by brewton flags are thrown they're waving bruton this is going to be the other way the officials are watching another flag has been thrown and he may take it the distance if they rule it and they call it a touchdown oh my goodness everyone stood and watched except david brewton i think it bounced if indeed i think i think he was able to scoop it up but they did not blow the whistle well this one was definitely a one hopper just watch this orton's trying to find his tight end and this thing hits the ground first why everybody stood around well the officials followed him the entire way not a very good throw by orton on the move couple flags one at the four one at the 13. well when the officials aren't sure they're gonna let the play play go and so you know what they say as a broadcaster call it as if it's live and that's what you did you never know and there he goes you never know well listen last week in buffalo jerry hughes same kind of play everyone stood and watched hughes picked up a ball after a hit and raced it back 18 for a fumble recovery touchdown and this is not one of kyle orton's strengths kevin throwing the ball on the move outside the pocket he's a pure pocket passer with the naked eye you couldn't tell ruling on the field is an interception return for a there are two touchdown on the play one by each team holding number 79 offense before the interception personal foul unnecessary roughness number 98 defense during the return by rule the holding foul's decline will enforce the unnecessary roughness from the spot of the foul denver's ball first down well they've called it an interception but we're going to see and we've seen a couple times already clearly hitting the turf you would think someone on his crew would have said give him a heads up but if they see they got all these big monitors and screens here in the stadium josh if only we had mike carey if we had him right here in the booth he could help us i can see him in my monitor i'll get to him in a second oh michael but we can see even without the expertise of mike carey that it hit the ground but there are a lot of things going on a lot of moving parts down deep and we'll step aside 10 41 in the fourth mike is with us from new york he's watched the play mike give us your interpretation here my interpretation is that there it goes with an incomplete pass right the ball hits the ground that's incomplete we do have two penalties that have to be contended with though since it was incomplete that ball is on the previous play so both of those fouls will offset at the previous spot and they'll replay the down terrific but it was interesting watching the officials run with the player the other stand and watch that flags it was a lot of a lot of things going on so buffalo yeah let's first of all get our announcement and take things one at a time from ron torbert after review the ball hit the ground before it was intercepted it's an incomplete pass we will enforce the hold by 79 of the offense the personal foul and necessary roughness by number 98 of the defense we will offset those fouls it will be third and goal at the four yard line please reset the game it was just the exact opposite 56 seconds absolutely another opportunity here for kyle orton and the bill's offense if you're kyle orton you gotta be thinking four down territory i got two shots here from about the five yard line well and they just dodged their second red zone turnover of the game let's see what they do here it's third and goal at the denver four well you've got a tight end who's six foot seven and you've got a receiver and sandy watkins kevin that can go get the football if he gets one-on-one coverage with a bunch set here down at the bottom of your screen with hogan woods and watkins orton touchdown he got him that big tight end they were just talking about scott chandler four yard touchdown pass no there is yellow it was it's against buffalo it was a late flag all right pass interference offense number 84 10 yard penalty replay third down chandler the guy that just caught the pass well just keep an eye on the tight end right at the top of the route he's going to extend his hands he creates a little bit of separation you can see right there roby complaining about it flag was a bit late but thrown nonetheless back at the 14-yard line where kyle orton has third and goal at the 14. baltimore keeps shooting themselves in the foot blocked by jackson hogan's got the ball two defenders full and he goes in to lead foul and they had another one fall near the goal line but talid had the clear shot but he fell and the buffalo bills get a 14-yard red zone touchdown pass kyle orton and chris hogan has caught his second consecutive touchdown pass got a one yarder last week and a 14 yarder here well they bring the pressure and the defender that was covering woods he actually falls off and allows chris hogan to run free with the extra point from carpenter 10 46. buffalo with the long drive to lead slipping and hogan coming up with his fourth touchdown reception nice catch two the nfl on cbs is sponsored by amazon's new fire hd powerful tablet endless entertainment fruit of the loom start happy this holiday and by the dodge brothers 100 years later their spirit lives on coming up after the game here in denver time permitting the subway post game show jb tony bart coach and boomer siason for all the nfl scores news highlights it's the subway post game show from our cbs studios in new york here's a jordan gay kickoff for the buffalo bill now have come to within two touchdowns of denver that one bounces and is finally retrieved on the play by omar bouldin and then he was brought down and hit on the play for buffalo by special teamer tai powell on a 23-yard return let's keep an eye on akip to leave he's got to stay outside what happens is he he gets forced inside because he sees watkins and he runs into watkins he should stay outside that allows hogan to outflank the secondary and then watkins also got it got a shot on chris harris harris jr in the end zone so he knocked down here too he's doing his part i know he is it's a little wide receiver strain and it goes to the receiver sanders another block there by thomas in a gain of five denver has done all their scoring today on the ground three rushing touchdowns by cj anderson 51 consecutive games manning is gone with the touchdown pass kevin they're out of sorts when you look at them in the passing game right now you know paige thrown a couple interceptions they're struggling getting the ball down the field to sanders and to thomas the mary is thomas with just two catches for 11 yards got to give some credit to the buffalo secondary they have played well but they don't they look out of sorts right now they're timing and rhythm in the passing game cj anderson is in against the call right here and he's brought down on that second down in five he was hit hard on the play brandon spikes very good against the run from the linebacking cora buffalo no gain in the play they stay at the 30. i really like this buffalo defense i mean i do too i like denver's defense as well well i know i mean both you look at this improvement on defense for buffalo and it didn't happen overnight started last year with mike pettin finished second in the league with 57 sacks and 23 interceptions but they picked up right where they left off a season ago with jim schwartz manning third and five cj anderson and he was brought down by spikes but not after getting the first down also slipped the graphs of darius it's a gain of six they get the first down up to the 36-yard line well they're playing too deep man-to-man coverage peyton manning sees it and audibles to the run on third and five more yards on the ground for cj anderson 16 carries 49 yards we mentioned this earlier in the game donors cersei out with a injury he's got a hamstring so they're putting duke williams back there in one of the safety slots brown flag is thrown he's up to the 39 yard line and a gain of four holding offense number 71 10 penalty replay a good one in philadelphia the defending champs are in pennsylvania to james brown in new york and the defending champions answer back yeah russell wilson his second touchdown pass in the day this one to doug baldwin he also has one running as they now take a 24-14 lead over philadelphia kevin rich and stacy good game there there's another head coach and pete carroll going against one of his former quarterbacks how about mark sanchez i think familiarity and we mentioned john fox that's a good familiarity with kyle orton i think it's important kevin is you put your game plan together it's first and twenty manning to cj anderson got a nice block by virgil green the tight end he sealed it off they get to the 35 and he picks up 10 on the play you know these quarterbacks these head coaches they study the coordinator or they know former players so well they keep books on these guys yeah they do and they go back and they look at them and and manning does a lot of that doesn't you know they have these journals and they go back and they they dig he's looking for any little thing that can help cj anderson and hit by spikes and others as he uh gets a loss of the yard inside the 35. buffalo is daring him to run the sure yeah run defense of the bills coming into today number seven look at jawan thompson you get him back on the field kevin just four carries 63 yards of course he had the big one 47 yards right after halftime third and 11 for manning they need the 46. five defensive backs for the bill wide open welcome crab holding on nice tackle made by pratham he picks up five he gets as far as the 39 he'll be six yards shy of a first and denver has got to punt that was a really nice tackle by bradham he's actually covering the back he's actually covering cj anderson out of the backfield out of the corner of his eyes he came off on wes welker buffalo's just taking a time out rich they're going to get the ball back they're down by two touchdowns and six and a half to go the bills with two timeouts and denver has their full off three they need something good to happen in the kicking game one thing that has helped the bills when they get the ball back is orton finding watkins watkins has put his fingerprints on the second half yeah they got watkins going a little bit six catches 108 yards most of them kevin kevin coming in the second half along of 35. brewer will be the long snapper and britain colquitt will punt in the thin air gets this baby high fig been waving it off oh man that was a mistake you've got to feel that the hang time was 5-1 he let it go right over his head and with that hang time it allowed those guys to get in there nice punt a 53-yarder and a mistake by thick bend orton comes out for the bills who trail by 14. broncos just punted after six plays the ball rolled down to the eight-yard line here comes orton with the first and ten movement flags false start can't have it nope false start offense number 77 half the distance to the goal it's still first down starter courty glenn coming up after the game time permitting the subway post game show jb tony bart boomer coach cower all there with scores news and highlights of an important beginning weekend in december that's all coming up on the subway post game show from new york first and 14. that's a noisy end zone to come out of six defensive backs for denver orton over hogan's head defended on the play by bradley roby now second down and 14 for the seven and five buffalo bills two consecutive wins coming in denver comes in in first place tied with new england atop the afc leading the west nine and three their record winning kansas city last sunday they've won two consecutive games second and fourteen and you gotta get half of it back here still the dime jackson a block buying time for orton and almost kicked off ooh that was close on the play almost snared by brandon marshall third and 14. they were looking for watkins well he never feels marshall as he escapes to his right marshall's been all over the field today marshall's going to come all the way from the back side of the screen he's trying to fit this one down the middle of the field to watkins late down the middle will get you in trouble rich one thing that orton has done well third down passing he is 10 for 10 on third down passing today seven of them have gone for first down he needs the 18. moving up nicely hitting jackson dancing with board down by to leave and also hit by the ubiquitous brandon marshall he's up to the 16th ball he picks up 12. they're close but they got a punt they needed the 18 they got to the 16. it's just just too deep in your own territory with the way your defense is playing kevin you hope you get a three and out and get the ball back they still got two timeouts and a two minute warning but down by two scores and they really needed a first down there welker's at the 40 no wind colton schmidt the punt another poor long snap by sanborn the hang is there and it's out of bounds and it's going to be walked off by the official time was under five seconds and they're going to spot the ball at the denver 44. 40-yard punt here comes peyton the nfl on cbs is sponsored by macy's and by subway restaurants subway is saying thanks this season with two dollar subs sparkling denver here comes manning leading by two touchdowns he's at his own 44 after that three and out by buffalo with the first intent cj anderson trying to dance kyle williams was there darius was there no gain on the play how about the running today of this denver team no one's been better kevin over the last three or four weeks than cj anderson three touchdowns today runs with great power very decisive up inside of course when he needs a blow you bring in a a rookie free agent jawan thompson he goes 47 yards they get more out of undrafted players at that position than any team in the history of football and they're smart too one guy went to cal that guy went to duke you got to be smart to play in this offense you know adam gase talks about it all the time got a bunch of smart guys that can handle volume and change from week to week second down in 10. 20. bills have one timeout they just took one denver with all three they're not gonna let him run the football look at all these guys up around the line of scrimmage nice play they'll call another timeout that's jerry hughes who comes by in a timeout taken by marone that's his final one they lose six on the play back to the 38th the the sub story here as we've talked about as we take a look at hughes make this nice play he had a nice game last week against cleveland with three tackles quarterback curry forced fumble fumble return for a touchdown but manning has gone 51 consecutive games with a touchdown pass and as we all know it's the third longest and back of brady who's got 52 consecutive games that streak is over and the all-time record 54 by drew brees that streak is over so this is the longest active streak manning holds it and we know he is aware of things like that does it really make a difference though i mean he's the nfl's active leader in nearly every major passing category i said you're right you're right i don't think he really cares at this point he's correct he's all about winning football games but he is a win oh i think he is third he won't tell you that but i think he is well you know him he with the pro bowl together with him for three four years in a they give it to anderson and he drags the defender and he runs it with a gain of five and he'll be shy of the first obviously it's fourth and ten the punt team comes on it's a three and out for denver and buffalo will get it back you know this is it speaks a lot too of manning and where he is where his mind is at too rich not thinking about himself not that he would but it is a pretty interesting number but but thank you let's just get the win well i also think kevin you got a 38 year old year old quarterback he got knocked around a lot in that game against st louis and i think that caused the bronco coaching staff to go back and look at it remember when john elway won those super bowls here in denver at the end of his career back to back super bowl he did it by running the football coal quit is sending it to thick van who waves off everybody and it takes a bounce to look like for buffalo then goes back the hang time was over five seconds exactly what you want back they'll take anything over 4.5 46-yard punt the niners the raiders let's go to james brown oakland just trying to win baby yeah derek carr's third touchdown pass of the day this one to michael rivera who has over 100 yards receiving and oakland raiders are up over san francisco 24-13 kevin rich and stacey you and i know more more guys in this league that really talk about this rookie quarterback for the raiders i like derek a lot of rumors speculation this week ken in the bay area about maybe jim harbaugh winding up in oakland as a new head coach first and ten this is hogan it's by harris chased by ward who finally brings him down at the 20. he'll be close to a first down buffalo is out of timeouts you see where the clock is ticking here in the fourth and needing two touchdowns they do give him a gain of 10 in a first down and they really have you know you look at teams in two-minute situations there's got to be a sense of urgency the receiver's got a sprint to position lyman got to jump the ball can't get enough plays called the situation it is a first and ten looking for watkins running out of real estate talib was watching him coming over as well in the secondary for the denver broncos david putin jr second down and ten look at that quickness from now you gotta now you gotta change lanes you gotta try and stay on the field but the problem is you've got that safety coming hard over the top is it more difficult for young receivers to go against man or zone what are they what do they look at when they think they see a lot more zone off coverage in college in the nfl you know no one wants to give you those free access throws i think when you look at young receivers it's not always the way it was scripted or drawn up in practice i think that's one of the issues that they've had with sandy watkins you can't show every possible look in practice glenn with the block on second and ten they go underneath and this is jackson who is twirled around and finally leveled by wolf and others also at the bottom of the pile where's marshall it's a gain of eight flag is thrown the gain was up to the 28-yard line a sloppy game kevin with the penalties it's like 15 penalties between the two teams already today seven and five buffalo nine and three denver it's been quite a year for the buffalo bills as in a new owner they're staying in buffalo you're seeing the health return for jim kelly you see this team with doug marone you know finding their way and showing a lot of promise and there's a lot of optimism in one of the great nfl cities in america dead ball unnecessary roughness offense number 79 it's a 15-yard penalty from the dead ball spot the down counts it's third down denver native eric pierre is a guard for buffalo yeah he's just going to come in late oh yeah comes the light here to the left all right there yep piers nice move by harris piers uh played three years for these broncos he's here from 06 through 08. jfk high school here in denver two-time all-state performer third down 16 kyle orton playing his old team today but in 2011 beaten out by tebow who took over and then he was let go and went to kansas city third and 16 for orton they need the 30. with the incomplete pass jackson was in his sights the difference today for buffalo in the passing game they've not been able to win consistently enough against man-to-man coverage and you were just talking about that with these receivers and they have seen a ton of it today against this denver secondary these corners have challenged these receivers and they do and that's you know part of the difference why this defense is better for denver this year well they're a lot better kevin i think it starts with the personnel i mean it's one thing to have von miller it's another thing to have demarcus wear on the other side you can't always set your protection can always turn the line one way so now they've got balance with the pass rush they've got some corners and you look at to leave and and rovi fourth and 16 they need the 30 they got watkins and he swirls for the first down terrific catch great throw brought down by raheem moore picks up 20 on fourth and 16 a first down for buffalo well the one thing about this team is they're resilient to buffalo bills and the quarterback kyle orton he's a great competitor he will never quit what a great sign for watkins over a hundred yards today first and ten forward little outlet that's caught there by jackson getting out of bounds stop the clock and with no timeouts that's huge the tackle made by roby he gets two so watkins who has been staggering a bit in the very quiet last month is big especially in the second half with seven receptions 127 yards he's starting to come on that is a good sign just sucking from for air right now this altitude rookie's figuring out how to do it clemson's all-time receiver over the top in the history of the acc clemson second down in eight you need to get him back on the field quickly for goodwin a little high and incomplete a couple over there watching him ruby along with raheem moore it's now third and eighth and this is where you gotta take some chances kevin you gotta take some shots and that's what kyle orton is trying to do you're getting double coverage you're trying to fit one in between the corner and the safety these are difficult throws as you see watkins come back into the huddle quite a game again and he has not been 100 health either we know he's had some injuries and including a hip issue third and eight six in the secondary for the broncos they need the 43. hogan first down to lead with the staff but let's see now did the forward progress get in the first he looks like he may be shy well the one official on the other side gibb gave it to him the official on this side didn't he's short by about a yard and look then he dug us in he had the yards to lead prevents him fourth and about a half yard if that last time what they throw by orton on fourth down got watkins for a first no timeouts chandler first down and out of bounds so he gets the first down he stops the clock ward is right there with the stop it's a gain of five they get up to the 47-yard line of the bills for those of you expecting to see 60 minutes you're watching the nfl on cbs we're in denver it's the buffalo bills and the denver broncos along with rich gannon and stacey dale's kevin harlan 60 minutes will be seen in its entirety immediately following this game except on the west coast where it will be seen and it's normally scheduled time it is a first down they've got to start taking some big shots down the field kevin these short underneath throws aren't going to get it done good time orton chandler hit by harris minimal gain and then the line she gets five i'll take that back he's down to about the 48-yard line of denver five-yard pickup by the tight end chandler's had a big day six catches and 47 yards we've reached the two-minute warning on cbs down by two touchdowns the bills are on the move and out of timeouts drive began back at the 10 for the bills orton has completed two fourth down passes to keep the drive alive they're out of timeouts they have it second down and five at the denver 48. and looking for chandler on the ricochet it's incomplete almost grabbed by putin it'll be third and five well he's got his big tight end running down the middle of the field he gets one hand on it can't get the other one would have been a terrific catch by scott chandler looking to work you can't believe it you got to be able you're seeing so much too deep coverage you've got to be able to attack in the middle of field and you've got to be able to attack the safeties they need more speed down the middle of the field then they keep the six in the secondary from the 48-yard line third and five chandler again first down hit by bruton he's down to the 25-yard line of the denver broncos he picks up 27 and that is a first down flag was thrown back at the 42-yard line of denver i think that may be on t.j ward five penalties on denver today most on their offense 10 on the bills so far they're two fouls on the play both by the defense holding number 43 and holding number 21 both penalties have declined result of the play is the first down two veterans signature players in that secondary for denver talib and ward so the ball remains at the 25-yard line where it is a first and ten and again you see no time-outs remaining for the bills 13th play of the drive had his teammate to lead not collided in mid-flight they were going for watkins second down and 10. talib who was injured and had a left hamstring issue and missed some time playing today that's where communication is so important it's so hard you've got both players competing for the football kyle orton doing everything he can to pump down the middle of the field to hold the safety this is where you've got to be aggressive and take some chances tony carter has come in to take the place of a key to lead it's second down in tennessee if horton goes right there he goes up the middle instead it's caught by chandler grandpa marshall gets his way to the 12. he picks up a first down a game of 13 yards on the play well they're happy to let you complete the ball underneath i just want to defend the end zone and horton's got to throw the ball in the end zone these completions underneath have just eaten up too much time on the clock first and 10 horton and looking for hogan covered by harris second down in ten just winding up a conversation on chandler eight catches 83 yards he already has a 100 yard receiving day at the tight end position for the buffalo bills that was a 105-6 reception game against new england the first time a bill's tight end had had 100 since pete metzeler's in 92 he's got 83 here this afternoon very such a big target you love him down this part of the field six foot seven he has metro large size eight catches a career high first stop chandler second down in town that time was robert woods quiet today his third reception and he picks up on the play 12 and here is orton first and goal and he goes touchdown well you got a shot kevin well kick the extra point onside kick they're not they're not going down easy so orton converting fourth and 16 and fourth and one on that drive which started back at their 10. watkins had a 20 yard reception on fourth down which was huge and the tight end scott chandler with several big catches as they moved the chains downfield to get the one-yard quarterback sneak by the quarterback carpenter so 24 17 the bills get it in good throws by orton on that drive orton completing today 38 passes he's thrown it 57 times for 356 yards rich at 38 completions is a career high for kyle orton a bear a bronco a chief a cowboy and now a bill well you got those special teams coaches jeff rogers of the broncos and danny crossman of the bills broncos will have their hands team out there last time the bills had a successful onside kick was 2011. you could look at crossman i'm gonna put gay out there to try the kick as it proposed to barth i'm anxious to find out why they're not using carpenter carpenter on onside kicks two of four in his career but it's gay time out denver i'm sorry carpenter's head carpenter is the one that bounces them i think he's got the one that scribbles squibbles along the ground and pops up soon do that in the past there have only been six successful onside kicks this season from tip to tail on the nfl of which the indianapolis colts have three a lot of them come when you're not expecting it not in these situations that's a good point rich you got your hands team out there everyone's in position got some receivers and defensive backs and linebackers tight ends guys that are used to handling the football jordan gay not long enough doesn't go 10 yards does not go long enough and recovered at the 44 yard line by denver recovered on the play by their signature special teamer david brewton no time out to remain for the buffalo bills well you got to kick it a little firmer it's got to get to the 45-yard line and they do practice that every day in practice don't they well they sure do and but again i would wonder why why wouldn't they use carpet you know ken i'm sure they both work on it in practice you know both carpenter and gay and then it's probably a decision danny crawford makes a special teams coach whoever they think is doing a better job orchestrating it well manning's last game without a touchdown pass november 14 2010 with the colts and the streak for peyton will stop at 51 consecutive games with a touchdown throw one more here it's second down at 11. let's take a look at the schedules because it's very interesting for buffalo who next week will go against aaron rodgers and green bay they got brady to wind up the season denver at san diego cincinnati and then a game here against the oakland raiders and the denver broncos will now go to ten and three third consecutive win they've won four of their last five the buffalo bills will drop to seven and six and they lose their first in the last three games so things tough obviously for the bills as you take a look at the landscape of the afc playoff picture pittsburgh worked their way into the equation today by beating cincinnati new england plays tonight indianapolis came from behind to win late with less than a minute to go and peyton manning finishes 14-20 173 picked off twice no touchdown passes orton was 38-57 with a touchdown in two picks the denver broncos win it at home now for rich gannon and stacey dales kevin harlan sang so long from denver tonight on cbs 60 minutes then i love lucy christmas and the mentalist on cbs television
