DENVER - These Denver Broncos arent as slick as last years high-flying, record-breaking bunch, the one that was stopped cold in the Super Bowl.Were much more complete and weve got an identity now, Chris Harris Jr. said after the Broncos overcame a rare unsteady outing by Peyton Manning to beat the Buffalo Bills 24-17 Sunday behind C.J. Andersons three touchdown runs.Mannings streak of 51 games with a touchdown throw — three shy of Drew Brees NFL record — ended on a sun-splashed, almost still afternoon with the game-time temperature a balmy 63 degrees. Despite three turnovers, the Broncos (10-3) won their third straight game since changing from a pass-oriented attack to a run-heavy approach.I hope fans will still keep coming to the games, Manning deadpanned.The five-time MVP whos made a living throwing the ball insisted hes fine with handing it off.Im comfortable with winning, Manning said. Thats what Im comfortable with.And he said hes enjoying watching Anderson, who contributed a tough 58 yards on 21 carries, as much as the fans are.Sometimes I get a minus on my grade sheet for not carrying out my fake, but I like to kind of watch him, Manning said. He makes a lot of guys miss.Manning finished 14 of 20 for 173 yards with two interceptions. His top receiver, Demaryius Thomas, was hobbled by bruised right ankle and held to two catches for 11 yards, and tight end Julius Thomas (ankle) didnt play for the third straight week.Today was tough and a struggle, but at the end the day we got the W, and hes proud about that and were proud about that, Anderson said.Any week, he said, Manning can go out there and throw eight touchdowns. We all sat here and saw him throw seven touchdowns (against Baltimore last year). I dont think theres anything wrong with 18, I think hes completely fine. Its up to us to help him.Wes Welker did, awakening from a season-long slumber to lead the Broncos with six catches for 82 yards.This was not the game for the receivers to have a lot of big numbers, Manning said, but Wes play helped us get this victory.Former Broncos QB Kyle Orton had a day like Manning usually does: 38 of 57 for 355 yards. He led the Bills (7-6) on two long TD drives in the fourth quarter after theyd fallen behind 21-3.His 38 completions tied a team record and his 58 attempts is a franchise high.Not good enough to beat a good football team, said Orton, who was sacked four times.Manning threw two interceptions deep in Buffalo territory and tight end Jacob Tamme fumbled at the Bills 10-yard line. Otherwise, it wouldnt have come down to David Bruton Jr.s recovery of an onside kick in the final minute.Theyve got a great defence, Buffalo receiver Sammy Watkins said. They do a lot of things, a lot of moving parts moving around, a lot of switching off, so you have to be disciplined.With Manning out of sorts, Anderson bailed out the Broncos with TD runs of 6, 1 and 3 yards. The latter score followed a 47-yard burst by fellow undrafted tailback Juwan Thompson.The Broncos had three takeaways for the second straight week, including a goal line interception by Harris in the third quarter that led to a 50-yard field goal by Connor Barth.It feels good to be balanced, Emmanuel Sanders said.A month ago, Denvers offence was a mess, with the line taking heavy heat after Manning threw 54 passes and handed off just nine times in a decisive loss at St. Louis.As you guys noted, three weeks ago we werent nothing, we were garbage, we were terrible, Orlando Franklin said, repeating some of the things that were said about his O-line last month.After holding Buffalo without a sack for the first time in more than a year, Denvers line is being praised, not pilloried.You have to give it to the big boys up front, said Anderson.Notes: ... With 127 yards on seven catches, Watkins became the first Bills rookie with four 100-yard games in a season. ... Manning threw just nine times in the first half, completing six. ...

Now the New York Knicks have 3,000 miles to think about how this game — and maybe any realistic post-season hopes they had — was lost. Jack scored a season-high 31 points Sunday night in the Cleveland Cavaliers 106-100 victory over the Knicks, who had their eight-game winning streak snapped. The Knicks wasted a chance to pull within two games of a playoff spot before leaving for a five-game Western Conference trip that starts Tuesday against the Lakers. "This was a huge opportunity lost, one we cant afford," Knicks guard J.R. Smith said. "But we cant get it back. Weve just got to go on the road, win some games and try to come back home and win." Hours after being handed a chance to get closer to the final spot in the Eastern Conference when Atlanta blew a fourth-quarter lead in Toronto, the Knicks responded with an inept final period of their own after they led by 17 points in the first half. They couldnt stop Jack and couldnt get a basket from Carmelo Anthony, who missed all five shots in the final period and finished with 32 points. New York remained three back with 12 to play. "Its tough. We shouldve won this game. We gave it away. They earned it, they beat us. We didnt play well coming down the stretch or in the second half and they did," Anthony said. "But its behind us now, theres nothing we can do about that." Jack scored 23 in the second half after coach Mike Brown challenged his team at halftime. "It was just about making a stand and each individual person making a stand and then collectively as a team us all bringing that same mindset to the table," Jack said. "Thats pretty much what it was about. I just thought guys responded." Jack finished with 10 assists for the Cavaliers, who snapped a four-game losing streak. Dion Waiters scored 22 points and Luol Deng had 13 in his return from a three-game absence with a sprained left ankle for the Cavs, who didnt miss All-Star Kyrie Irving because Jack torched the Knicks for 13 points in the fourth quarter on 6-of-7 shooting. "I just challenged them. Thats all. I didnt say thatt much," Brown said.dddddddddddd"The guys in the locker room, they decided to go play and they went out and got it done." New York was missing ailing Iman Shumpert, their best perimeter defender who surely wouldve gotten a chance to defend Jack since nobody else could. The Knicks, who suddenly were back in the playoff race after looking out of it after a seven-game skid dropped them to 21-40 after a loss in Detroit on March 3, will have to bounce back on the road. The Hawks had already lost at Toronto by the time the Knicks showed up for work Sunday. Coach Mike Woodson said he was glad but didnt appear overjoyed, realizing the Knicks still have plenty to do to get to the 35 to 40 wins he think will be necessary to earn a playoff spot. "Its good that they lose, but again, its about what we do at this point," Woodson said before the game. Even getting to 35 wins will be difficult considering they still have games against Miami and Chicago, plus two apiece against Brooklyn and Toronto after their trip. New York made 15 of 21 shots (71 per cent) in the first quarter, getting 14 points from Anthony and taking a 34-27 lead when Smith made a 28-footer with 0.2 seconds left. The Knicks pushed the lead to 17 in the second when Pablo Prigioni made a 3-pointer, then stole the ball and threw an alley-oop pass that Smith slammed down to finish off a fast break and make it 51-34. But down 61-46 at halftime, Cleveland scored the first nine of the second half to get within six, and the Knicks never really got the momentum back. The Cavs used an 11-4 spurt to tie it at 90 on Jacks jumper with 7:29 remaining, then Dengs 3-pointer gave them a 93-92 edge with 5:46 to play. Anthonys free throws gave the Knicks their last lead, but Jack knocked down a jumper, Waiters made a 3-pointer and Anderson Varejao had an easy dunk after a pick-and-roll to make it 100-94 with 2:37 remaining. New York cut it to two, but Jack answered with another jumper, finishing two points shy of his career high. Smith finished with 18 points. NOTES: New York had won the previous five meetings at home. ... On Noche Latina, Spanish for Latin night, former St. Johns star Felipe Lopez announced the starting lineups in Spanish.
