Health, depth both key to Denver's success

TEAMS: Denver Broncos

On almost a daily basis, John Fox needs about as little time to roll through the Broncos injury report as it takes cornerback Chris Harris to return an interception 98 yards for a touchdown. In a league where injuries can make or break a team's season, it's Denver's lack of them - along with its ability to replace the few players who do go out - that has turned the Broncos into legitimate Super Bowl contenders with a nine-game winning streak. Led by starting-caliber performances from Harris and running back Knowshon Moreno, Denver (11-3) heads into the final stretch of the season looking almost the way the front office envisioned the roster on opening day. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL
