FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Andre Roberts Youth Jersey . - 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 Doug Flutie Jersey .

Or at least on everyone elses expectations. Costa Rica followed up its surprise win over Uruguay with another World Cup stunner on Friday, beating four-time champion Italy 1-0 to secure a spot in the next round and eliminate England in the process.ARLINGTON, Texas -- Yu Darvish and the Texas Rangers only have to wait a few more days before the ace will be back on the mound. Darvish is scheduled to make his season debut Sunday at Tampa Bay after getting through an extended bullpen session without any issues. "Hes ready to go," manager Ron Washington said Wednesday, when Darvish reported feeling good a day after throwing 86 pitches. Washington said Darvish is as strong as he was before the neck stiffness that kept the pitcher from throwing for two weeks. Darvish was placed on the disabled list to start the season, though the move was retroactive to March 21, making the right-hander eligible to be activated this weekend. "Once his neck wasnt bothering him anymore, we saw the same stuff we saw in Arizona," Washington said. "He didnt back up any." Tanner Scheppers, who started the opener and was scheduled for the series finale against the Rays, was pushed back to Monday at Boston, where he will be followed by Martin Perez and Robbie Ross against the Red Sox. Washington said there have been no decisionns made past that trio that also started the first three games of the season. Frank Gore Bills Jersey. Darvish last faced hitters in a game March 16 during spring training. Their expected opening-day starter didnt throw again until last Saturday, when he threw off flat ground and followed that a day later with a 32-pitch bullpen session. After not throwing opening day, he came back with the strong 86-pitch session Tuesday. "Hes still as strong as an ox," Washington said. "He still was darting up the gnats that were flying around home plate. You know how small a gnat is. He was knocking them down with consistency." Darvish finished second in the AL Cy Young Award voting last season, when he led the major leagues with 277 strikeouts. In his season debut last year, in the second game of the season, Darvish came within one out of a perfect game at Houston. Darvish could have been activated as early as Saturday, when right-hander Nick Martinez is scheduled to make his major league debut. Martinez has never pitched above the Double-A level and isnt even on the Rangers 25-man roster yet. ' ' '
