In a game where Peyton Manning became the NFL’s all-time leading passer, Manning and the Broncos played awful on both sides of the ball. Denver was trailing 22-0 when Alex Smith threw an 80-yard touchdown pass to Charcandrick West. As West entered the end zone, Ward knocked Maclin to the ground and appeared to punched him.

“The doctor told me I would be out four to eight weeks, but I told him four to six weeks,” Trevathan said, according to ESPN. “I’m not trippin’.” The injury is to his upper shin, reaching the kneecap and is called a medial tibial impaction fracture.

Those teams face virtually the same degree of difficulty in trying to take the division from Denver. In the bigger picture, the Patriots, still the Broncos’ biggest threat to dethrone them as conference champs, have opponents who went 134-122 last season. Beyond Kansas City and New England, Denver faces only three more playoff teams in Carolina, Cincinnati and Houston....

If James’ latest Instagram post is anything to go by, his son LeBron James Jr., also known as Bronny, has already embraced the same philosophy. The four-time NBA champion shared a series of pictures showing him working out alongside his son, who looks nothing like a teenager and increasingly resembles his father. Bronny’s school lists him at 6-foot-2-inches and 176 pounds, but the 16-year-old looks far taller and bigger than that....

Petara Cordero died last Wednesday after being struck by a car, less than a month after she gave birth to the couple’s daughter. Smith said she would have wanted him to play and that he was suiting up in her honor. “I am going to play (Monday) because it is something, she would want me to do," Smith told Cleveland.com . “She would want me to keep doing what I love and stay strong....

But when a reporter asked coach Bruce Arians on Monday what the team hoped to accomplish in the final five games, suggesting it might be better to lose out to secure a high draft position, Arians had a predictable — and very colorful — response. MORE: NFL denies report that “Thursday Night Football” is in jeopardy “To think that we would lose games to get a better draft pick is absolutely asinine,” he said, via KPHO CBS 5 in Phoenix....

The 43-year-old veteran is recovering from offseason knee surgery. While Brady, an ultimate competitor, will surely want to get in some reps with his teammates at minicamp, Arians may not let him do a lot. “I don’t know how much I’ll let him do … with guys chasing him around,” Arians said, per ESPN’s Jenna Laine. “We’ll see. We’ll see what the doctors say. He may be doing a lot of coaching....

Spears rang in 2022 just weeks after turning 40 and six months after a Los Angeles court ordered the end of the conservatorship. Since 2008, lawyers and her father, Jamie Spears, had controlled everything in the singer’s life, from her medical decisions to her career and finances. Spears has not taken her freedom for granted, celebrating seemingly mundane moments such as going to an ATM, drinking coffee or visiting a beauty spa....

The 40-year-old has been enjoying her life post-conservatorship in recent months and documenting her new experiences on social media. Until recently, Spears lived under a strict conservatorship, with all of her personal and financial decisions controlled by her father. After a tumultuous year of court drama, the “Toxic” hitmaker’s assets are now back under her control—and her Instagram has been reflecting how she is now living her life on her own terms....

This week, Senators Bob Casey and Susan Collins reintroduced the Guardianship Accountability Act. The bill seeks to develop databases to collect and share information, such as background checks, on guardians. It would also create a National Resource Center on Guardianship to publish training materials for guardians and maintain a database on state laws regarding guardianship and the use of less-restrictive alternatives. “The high-profile case of Britney Spears shined a spotlight on an issue impacting millions of older adults and people with disabilities living under guardianships or conservatorships,” Casey, a Pennsylvania Democrat, said in a statement....

Waltz made the remarks during a Newsmax appearance Wednesday, the same day U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he would approach his Russian counterpart with a proposed prisoner swap. While President Joe Biden has been under pressure to secure Griner’s release, her situation has revived debates over whether prisoner swaps incentivize the arrest and kidnapping of Americans. A two-time Olympic gold medalist who plays for the Phoenix Mercury, Griner has been detained since February 17 after Russian authorities said they found cannabis oil in her luggage at a Moscow area airport....

Gaethje was a Division I All-American wrestler at Northern Colorado and was closing his career in 2011 at the NCAA wrestling championships at the Wells Fargo Center. Gaethje failed to place in Philly, and his collegiate career ended with a loss in the third-place bracket round. “Some memories, yeah,” he said. “Not the best ones.” Gaethje is ready to make some good ones Saturday when he fights Edson Barboza in a lightweight bout in the main event of the UFC card in Philadelphia....

To that, Osweiler joked, via the Houston Chronicle: “It sounds like they miss me.” MORE: With Josh Brown, Giants and NFL fumble another Ray Rice moment After signing a four-year, $72 million contract this offseason, Osweiler has struggled in Houston, often missing his receivers on easy routes and lacking decisiveness. But something clicked last week. Faced with a double-digit deficit in the fourth quarter, Osweiler led the Texans to a clutch come-from-behind victory over the Colts in overtime....

However, a mistake from Melvin Gordon ensured that it would not happen. The veteran running back checked into the game for his first carry with just under four minutes left in the first half. He promptly fumbled; the Raiders recovered and returned it 68 yards for a score. The fumble was Gordon’s fourth of the season, good for the most among NFL running backs. It also marked a turning point in the contest, as Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett explained in his postgame news conference....

The Nathaniel Hackett and Russell Wilson era in Denver has gotten off to a rocky start (excuse the pun, I’m a father of two). Hackett has made some puzzling in-game decisions, while Wilson has looked washed-up and unable to make the clutch plays. Losing stud back Javonte Williams (torn ACL) and edge rusher Randy Gregory (knee) has added injury to insult. LIVE: Follow Broncos vs. Chargers on ‘Monday Night Football'...
