BRONCOS ...44 CHIEFS ...13 Kyle Orton threw two touchdown passes and Denver used a punishing running game to manhandle Kansas City. The Broncos had 245 yards rushing to turn the 99th meeting between AFL originals into a laugher. Correll Buckhalter ran for 113 yards and Knowshon Moreno had two touchdown runs to help Denver stay within reach of San Diego in the AFC West. The Chiefs didn't put up much of a fight on the day they retired Hall of Fame linebacker Derrick Thomas' number. Kansas City gave up 17 plays of 10 yards or more and has allowed 40 points in consecutive games for the first time since 1983. Matt Cassel had a 14.6 quarterback rating before being pulled for Brodie Croyle and the Chiefs finished with only 222 total yards. ...more

BRONCOS ...26 GIANTS ...6 The Denver Broncos still have their troubles with the red zone and yellow flags. The dark cloud that hung over them during their month of misery, though, is gone. Kyle Orton drove them on six scoring drives, Matt Prater kicked four field goals and safety Brian Dawkins led a ferocious defense 48 hours after calling a players-only meeting. Elvis Dumervil dumped Eli Manning twice, extending his NFL-leading sack total to 14. Dumervil's second one came in the fourth quarter and resulted in a fumble that sealed Denver's first win since Oct. 19. Hosting their first Thanksgiving game since 1963 in the AFL, the Broncos returned to the physical style of play that marked their 6-0 start and ditched the sieve that was their defense during their four-game skid. Behind three takeaways, the Broncos (7-4) halted their freefall and pulled within a half game of AFC West leader San Diego. New York (6-5), which snapped its four-game losing streak on Sunday, fell two games behind Dallas in the NFC East. The Broncos outgained the Giants 213-38 in the first half but settled for field goals on three drives, including their first two trips inside the Giants 10-yard line. ...more
