FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - I stunk, Peyton Manning said.Thats how one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history described his performance Sunday.Manning? Stunk?In a game billed as the 16th installment of the Manning-Tom Brady rivalry between the AFCs top two teams?The NFLs top-ranked quarterback did throw for 438 yards, but most of those came after the New England Patriots rolled to a 20-point halftime lead on their way to a surprisingly lopsided 43-21 win over the favoured Denver Broncos.The quarterback stinks, usually youre not going to win many games, Manning said, repeatedly shaking his head while criticizing his play. I was talking to (Broncos radio announcer) Dave Logan and he said, Ive never heard you say you stink before. I said, Well, I dont usually stink. But I stunk today. I dont make any excuses.The leader of the defence also was pretty harsh on himself.Im disappointed in myself, said Von Miller after his streak of six games with at least one sack ended. I could have played better.He didnt because Brady, knowing the pass rushing ability of the Broncos improved defence, made quick passes. He was sacked just once, by DeMarcus Ware.He gets rid of the ball quick, Denver coach John Fox said. Hes a sharp cookie. I mean, hes been around a little bit.Brady threw four touchdown passes and his first interception in five games when a high pass off Danny Amendolas hands was picked off by Bradley Roby.Manning completed 34 of 57 passes and his passer rating of 80.9 was his lowest of the season. He also threw two interceptions, both leading to touchdowns. The first, by Rob Ninkovich came after Denver went ahead 7-6 and led to Bradys 5-yard touchdown pass to Julian Edelman just over three minutes into the second quarter.That was a critical play, Manning said of the interception, a really bad decision by me.The Patriots (7-2) took over the top spot in the AFC from the Broncos (6-2). Denver still leads the AFC West over Kansas City (5-3) and San Diego (5-4).It was a big game because it always goes down to the playoff picture, Denver cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. We are going to be disappointed about the way we played today, but were still good in the rankings.And their next game is against the winless Oakland Raiders.Weve been executing on Sundays and making some plays and doing what weve been taught to do, Manning said, but youve got to do it every week.Brady sure did it on Sunday.With 8 1/2 minutes remaining in the game, the Gillette Stadium crowd chanted: Bradys Better.Brady improved to 11-5 against Manning and is unbeaten in their last four meetings in Foxborough. In 200 career starts, Brady is 155-45.After Denver led 7-3 after the first quarter and New England scored the next 24 points on the way to winning its fifth straight, halting the Broncos four-game winning streak. Manning fell to 2-7 at Gillette Stadium, but, with two touchdown passes, he has at least that many in 14 consecutive games, an NFL record.After the touchdown pass to Edelman, Brady threw scoring passes of 5 yards to Shane Vereen, 10 yards to Brandon LaFell and 1 yard to Rob Gronkowski.Even with the two great quarterbacks in the house, Edelman was a star. Not that New Englands defence took a back seat, befuddling Manning so often that the Broncos barely got the snap off on time on several plays.After Edelmans touchdown catch, he scored on a sensational, weaving 84-yard punt return for a 20-7 lead.Manning did hit Julius Thomas for an 18-yard score early in the third quarter after Robys interception. But New England came right back on Stephen Gostkowskis 45-yard field goal into the wind, his third successful kick. He also hit from 49 with the wind and 29 against it.NOTES: The Broncos rushed for just 43 yards, led by 18 from C.J. Anderson. ... It was the first game in NFL history matching quarterbacks with more than 150 regular-season wins. ... Gronkowski had nine catches for 105 yards, Edelman nine for 89. Emmanuel Sanders led Denver with 10 receptions for 151 yards and Demaryius Thomas caught seven balls for 127.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Sandy Koufax Dodgers Jersey .Y. - Pittsburgh Penguins star Sidney Crosby captured his second career Art Ross trophy on Sunday after leading the NHL in scoring this season.

The Foreurs were outshot 50-33 by the Edmonton Oil Kings and trailed twice in regulation, yet pulled out a 4-3 win in double overtime Tuesday. Centre Anthony Richard ended the marathon at Budweiser Gardens by scoring on a breakaway at 1:15 in the second overtime. It was the second time in this tournament the opposition put 50 shots on goaltender Antoine Bibeau and Val-dOr emerged with a one-goal victory. The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champions concluded their preliminary round 2-1. Theyll play in Fridays semifinal with the victor advancing to Sundays championship game against the Ontario Hockey League champions the Guelph Storm. The host London Knights and Storm conclude the preliminary round Wednesday in a clash of OHL rivals. Guelph is already in Sundays final at 2-0. The winless Knights need a victory to avoid elimination and force a tiebreaker game against the Oil Kings at 1-2. Val-dOr went the full seven games to win both their semifinal and final series in the QMJHL playoffs. The Foreurs had just three days between winning Game 7 in Baie-Comeau, Que., and beating the host Knights 1-0 to open the MasterCard Memorial Cup. For those reasons, Richard was elated with his double overtime winner. "Its huge for us because we played two series in seven games in the Q and we need some rest," said the 17-year-old from Trois-Rivieres, Que. "That two days off is huge for us." Depending on the outcome of Wednesdays game, the Oil Kings will have a rematch with the Foreurs on Friday or take on the Knights in a tiebreaker Thursday. "I thought we deserved a better fate," Oil Kings head coach Derek Laxdal said. "We have to respond and be more resilient." The Oil Kings lost in a tiebreaker to the host and eventual champion Shawinigan Cataractes at the 2012 Memorial Cup. After falling 6-3 to Guelph the previous night, most of the Foreurs shaved off their playoff beards, but for no particular reason they said. Pierre-Maxime Poudrier scored on a short-handed breakaway in the second period for thhe fresh-faced Foreurs.ddddddddddddCaptain Samuel Henley tied the game in the third period to force overtime and Shawn Ouellette-St-Amant also contributed a goal. But Val-dOr was able to stay on Edmontons heels because of Bibeau. The Toronto Maple Leafs prospect stopped 47 shots, including a penalty shot by Edgars Kulda in the first period. Bibeau posted a 51-save shutout in Val-dOrs first game of the tournament against London. He also denied Knights forward Bo Horvat on a third-period penalty shot in that game. "Antoine is just awesome," Henley said. "He keeps us in the game every time. He keeps everyone calm in the room. Hes such a good goalie, a good teammate and a good player. We probably wouldnt have won the game without him." Curtis Lazar had a goal and an assist for the Oil Kings, who led 2-0 after the opening period. Reid Petryk also scored for the Western Hockey League champions and Henrik Samuelsson temporarily restored Edmontons lead early in the third. "When you get the chances to put away a team like Val-dOr, you have to take it," Lazar said. "We were unable to do that and got into a little bit of a marathon." It was the sixth game in Memorial Cup history to go to double overtime, but it wasnt nearly the longest. London happens to be the site of the longest game in Memorial Cup history. The Ottawa 67s downed the Kelowna Rockets 3-2 after 95 minutes 41 seconds in 2005. Oil Kings goaltender Tristan Jarry made 29 saves in defeat in front of 8,745 fans, but the seats thinned out considerably by the start of the second overtime. The years Memorial Cup is 0-for-3 in penalty shots as Jarry denied Londons Ryan Rupert on Sunday. Foreurs defenceman Guillaume Gelinas did not play Tuesday. Assistant coach Mark Pietroniro said earlier in the day Gelinas suffered a "knee contusion" in Mondays collision with Guelphs Chadd Bauman. Val-dOrs top defenceman joined his teammates for warmup, but spent most of it standing beside the boards looking sore. Gelinas left the ice before his teammates did. The Canadian Hockey League fined the host Knights $1,000 for criticizing the officials following Sundays 5-2 loss to the Oil Kings. ' ' '
