Peyton Manning earned all the headlines and accolades in the Denver Broncos' 31-19 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but Tracy Porter scored the play of the game.It's not that Manning's play was poor.In fact, it was most likely decent enough to earn him another commercial endorsement to add to his current TV ads for Papa John's Pizza, Buick and DirecTV.He threw for two touchdowns and 253 yards on 19 of 26 passing.Not a bad first night with a new team.Still, it was Porter's fourth quarter interception of a Ben Roethlisberger pass that put the game away for the Broncos.The electric play culminated with Porter returning the ball 43 yards into the end zone for his first pick-six of the season. Also a great first night with a new team.Roethlisberger and the Steelers' offense had been driving the ball and were particularly successful at moving the chains on third down.Pittsburgh, however, was down six points and trying to mount a comeback with less than two minutes...

Daily Links: Denver Broncos News – 9/13/12

Denver Broncos News NFP is seeing a lot of similarity to the Denver Broncos offense today and the one Peyton Manning ran when he was with the Indianapolis Colts. I’m not surprised, the Broncos would be fools not to do that. Heck, if they’d do it for Tim Tebow and the option, why wouldn’t they do it for Manning? [National Football Post] The Atlanta Falcons coaches had some...

Champ's counterpart Porter shows he's no slouch

DOVE VALLEY, Colo. -- With just four opponents that had a losing record in 2011 on the schedule -- and none of those foes popping up until the second half of the season -- the Broncos have little chance for celebration, or even reflection, for the first few weeks of the season. But the manner in which they turned back the Steelers is one they will likely have to repeat in future...

Denver Broncos at Atlanta Falcons: Week 2 NFL Pick

Denver Broncos (1-0) at Atlanta Falcons (1-0) If it wasn’t for Green Bay/Chicago, this would be the game of the week. Actually, scratch that, Green Bay/Chicago was an incredibly ugly game that should have been the game of the week, but wasn’t because teams only had 3 days to prepare and played much worse than they normally do. I hate this new one game on Thursday every week thing...
