Tim Tebow Interception Changed To Fumble In Broncos Vs. Bills Game

Broncos Vs. Bills Final Score: Buffalo Rumbles To 40-14 Victory Over Tim Tebow, Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos have dropped two straight games for the first time this season since Tim Tebow took over as the starting quarterback. The Buffalo Bills defeated the Broncos, 40-14.

The Broncos played well for the first couple of minutes at the start of the first and third quarters. Both of those drives resulted in touchdowns by Tebow. He had a one-yard touchdown run on the first one and then found Daniel Fells for a 17-yard touchdown pass on the second. That was all the Broncos could do to find the end zone. Tebow also threw four interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns as pick-sixes.

The offense struggled on converting third down, going 2-of-13. The Bills weren't much better at 2-of-12, but Ryan Fitzpatrick was able to pass for 197 yards and C.J. Spiller picked up 11 yards on 16 carries.

The Broncos now face a do-or-die situation next week when they welcome Kyle Orton and the Kansas City Chiefs to Denver. The Broncos win and they take the AFC West title. It's as simple as that (but it's never that simple to win).

VIDEO: Tim Tebow Throws Back-To-Back Pick-Sixes For Buffalo Bills

Tim Tebow finally had a multi-interception game this season, throwing picks on back-to-back offensive plays for the Denver Broncos. The main problem with both of them is that they went for touchdowns, putting the game well out of reach for the Broncos. The Bills lead, 40-14, in the waning minutes of the game

On the first, Tebow looks for Eric Decker deep down the field, but Jairus Byrd jumps in front to make the pick before sending it back for 37 yards. The second is a bit odd. It appears that Tebow's arm is not going forward when the ball comes out, meaning a fumble recovery. However, it was ruled an interception. Spencer Johnson took the ball 17 yards for the score.

Chris Harris Injury: Cornerback Hurts Neck Making Tackle, Return Questionable

Denver Broncos cornerback suffered an apparent neck injury in the second half of the team's game against the Buffalo Bills, and his return to the game is questionable. Harris suffered the injury while tackling Bills quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who had scrambled out of the pocket.

Jonathan Wilhite replaced Harris as the team's nickelback.

The Broncos were already without veteran safety Brian Dawkins, who suffered an injury to his neck a couple of weeks ago. Denver has had trouble slowing down the Bills offense all afternoon, and the loss of another defensive player certainly does not help the cause.

Buffalo leads 40-14 midway through the fourth quarter.

Broncos Vs. Bills Score: Denver Losing In Final Quarter, 26-14

The second half between the Denver Broncos and the Buffalo Bills hasn't quite gone the same way as the first, but it has come close. The Bills lead, 26-14, in the fourth quarter.

After Tim Tebow threw a touchdown pass to start the quarter, the Broncos have been unable to do anything else on offense. In fact, near the end of the third quarter, Tim Tebow threw his third interception of the season (and the first by either team in the game). Tebow is 6-of-12 for 83 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Dave Rayner, who missed two field goals in the first half, made two in the third quarter and one at the start of the fourth.

Broncos Vs. Bills Score: Tim Tebow Throws TD Pass On Opening Drive Of 2nd Half

Tim Tebow has put the Denver Broncos right back into Saturday's contest against the Buffalo Bills, throwing a touchdown pass on the opening drive of the third quarter. Tebow for the seventh time in his career now has one rushing touchdown and one passing touchdown, according to the team's official Twitter account.

Tebow found Daniel Fells down the middle of the field for a 17-yard score. He also started the drive by throwing a 32-yard strike to Demaryius Thomas, pumping the momentum for the Broncos early in the second half. Tebow also converted a 4th-and-1 to keep the drive alive.

Can the defense start holding the Bills at bay?

Broncos Vs. Bills Halftime Score: Buffalo Extends Lead To 17-7 Over Denver

The Denver Broncos reached a high point during its first drive of the game, picking up a Tim Tebow one-yard touchdown run. Since then, the Broncos have had nothing but offensive sputtering. The Bills came back in the second quarter and now lead, 17-7.

After Dave Rayner kicked a successful field goal on his third attempt of the game, the scoring flood gates opened for the Bills. Leodis McKelvin returned a punt for an 80-yard touchdown and then in the final minute of play, C.J. Spiller found the end zone for a four-yard score.

Tebow is 3-of-4 passing for 25 yards while the team has rushed for 81 yards, 60 by Willis McGahee. Ryan Fitzpatrick, on the other hand, is 9-of-16 for 137 yards.

VIDEO: Leodis McKelvin Returns Denver Punt For TD, 10-7 lead

And just like that, the Denver Broncos are in a hole against the Buffalo Bills. After going three and out, the Broncos punted the ball to Leodis McKelvin. He then returned the ball for an 80-yard touchdown, but it did need to be reviewed. As McKelvin made his way down the sideline, it appeared that he might have stepped out of bounds. However, the referee upheld the call and gave the Bills the 10-7 lead.

This game could be a lot worse if the Bills had made those previous two missed field goals, but that's assuming a predetermined outcome for all of these scores. The Bills could have made that first field goal and that could have led the Broncos to scoring a couple more touchdowns. We can't assume that the game would be worse if the Bills did score earlier.

Brian Dawkins Injury: Safety Out With Neck Ailment

Denver Broncos safety Brian Dawkins had been limited in practice all week with a neck injury that forced him to sit out the team's game against New England last weekend. He was active for Saturday's game against the Bills, but according to the team he has now been ruled out for the rest of the game.

Dawkins initially suffered the injury while making a tackle against the Chicago Bears a couple of weeks ago. His absence was evident against the Patriots, but the team may be in better shape to handle his absence this week considering the Bills' passing game isn't as potent.

Dawkins has 48 tackles and three sacks this season.

Broncos Vs. Bills: Dave Rayner Finally Connects On FG, But Bills Losing, 7-3

Buffalo Bills kicker Dave Rayner finally made good on a field goal against the Denver Broncos, but just barely. A false start penalty moved the ball from the five-yard line to the 10, and any further back and the ball likely would not have gone through the uprights. But this 28-yarder did and now the Broncos lead, 7-3.

Bills wide receiver Steve Johnson has killed the Broncos in the second quarter. He burned through the Broncos for a 16-yard catch earlier in the quarter and then followed that up with a 55-yard catch on the field goal drive. That catch put the Bills on Denver's 12-yard line. But the drive didn't have any more big plays left in it.

Broncos Vs. Bills Score: Denver Leads 7-0 After Buffalo Misses Two FGs

The Denver Broncos lead the Buffalo Bills, 7-0, after one quarter of play. Tim tebow's one-yard touchdown run remains the only score, but that's because Buffalo kicker Dave Rayner has been unable to connect on either of his field goald attempts. He missed a 45-yard field goal and a 31-yard field goal in the quarter, and they were wide left each time.

Tim Tebow was 2-of-2 passing for 20 yards in the quarter. Willis McGahee, though, had eight carries for 47 yards and almost had the score. He was ruled down before cracking the goal line, but it was just a matter of time before the Broncos scored, which Tebow did on the next play.

The cold weather appears to have affected the special teams play more than Tebow, who has not played in sub-40 temperatures.

Broncos Vs. Bills: Willis McGahee Surpasses 1,000 Yard Rushing Mark

Denver Broncos running back Willis McGahee was close to 1,000 rushing yards heading into Saturday's game against the Buffalo Bills and it did not take him long to reach that milestone. A 24-yard first quarter carry pushed him past 1,000 yards, making McGahee the first Broncos running back to accomplish the feat since Tatum Bell in 2006. McGahee also made some history, as the Post's Lindsay Jones explains:

McGahee now has 1,000-yard seasons with the Bills (2004, 2005) and Baltimore (2007) to become only the second player in league history to hit that benchmark with three different teams. Ricky Watters did it with the Seahawks, Eagles and 49ers.

The Broncos have an early 7-0 lead on the Bills.

VIDEO: Tim Tebow Leads Denver To TD, 7-0 Lead Over Bills

Playing in front of a dispersed crowd around Ralph Wilson Stadium, the Denver Broncos took the opening drive 73 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead over the Buffalo Bills. Willis McGahee appeared to have the score on a five-yard run on second down, but that just delayed the eventual score. Tim Tebow then took the ball in the shotgun formation and ran in for the one-yard touchdown.

Tebow ran to the left and took a couple of big hits there, but he cracked the goal line. He looked fine when he got to the sidelines.

On the drive, Willis McGahee snapped off a 24-yard run to go over 1,000 yards for the season. McGahee had five runs for a total of 39 yards on the drive.

Denver Broncos Inactives Vs. Buffalo Bills: Quan Cosby Leads Denver's List

The Denver Broncos have announced their inactives for Saturday's game against the Buffalo Bills and there's a mild surprise. Kick returner Quan Cosby will not play in the game. Last week, he had a costly flub on a kick return, evnetually resulting in points for the New England Patriots. Eddie Royal will likely take over return duties this week.

#Broncos inactives: Q. Cosby, K. McCarthy, M. Mohamed, M. Ramirez, T. Hills, J. Thomas, D. Harvey.

Broncos Vs. Bills: Time, TV Schedule, Radio Streaming And More

There will be a lot on the line on Saturday afternoon when the Denver Broncos take on the Buffalo Bills. For one, the Broncos will be eager to prove that last week's blowout loss to the New England Patriots was a fluke, and not a sign that Tebowmania is on the downswing. More importantly, the Broncos can take a commanding lead in the AFC West heading into their Week 17 match up vs. the Kansas City Chiefs, or they may even be able to clinch the division outright.

The Broncos have a few things going in their favor. The biggest match up of the game will be the Broncos running game vs. the Bills run defense, and in that category Denver should have a big advantage. The Bills are fifth worst in the NFL in stopping the run, and their battered defensive line is fresh off of giving up over 200 yards rushing to Miami Dolphins running back Reggie Bush in Week 15. The second is that the Bills' best offensive weapon— wide receiver Stevie Johnson— has been limited in practice this week as he battles a nagging groin injury.

Game Time/Date: Saturday, Dec. 24, 11 a.m. MT

Location: Ralph Wilson Stadium, Orchard Park, NY

TV Schedule: CBS (Jim Nantz, Phil Simms), DirecTV channel 704

TV Distribution Map: The506.com

Radio Schedule:

Bills: WEDG 103.3 FM, Sirius channel 104

Broncos: KOA 850 AM, Sirius channel 91

Buffalo Bills Injury Report, Week 16: Steve Johnson Probable Against Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos square off against a struggling, through relatively healthy, Buffalo Bills team on Saturday, Week 16. The Bills have lost six straight games after their 5-2 start, and several key compenents of their offense enter the Broncos game hurting, according to the Week 16 injury report from the Broncos' Twitter account:

Out

- TE Lee Smith

- RB Johnny White

- WR Ruvell Martin

Probable

- WR Steve Johnson

- TE Scott Chandler

The Bills' leading receiver with 872 yards, Steve or Stevie Johnson, has been struggling with a groin injury that has limited him in practice this week. With Johnson, Martin, two tight ends and the backup running back on the injured list this week, the Bills may lean ever more heavily on their punishing running game, which has average 4.8 yards per rush in 2011.

RB C.J. Spiller expects to fill the starting role in place of the injured Fred Jackson, but despite being a backup, the 24-year-old Spiller has averaged a whopping 5.0 yards per attempt.

Denver Broncos Injury Report, Week 16: Willis McGahee Probable, Brian Dawkins Questionable

The Denver Broncos have released their official injury report for their Week 16 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Though the Broncos have injuries abounding on their roster, it would appear many of their key contributors should be able to play on Saturday:

Questionable

- S David Bruton

- S Brian Dawkins

Probable

- LB Von Miller

- RB Willis McGahee

- TE Daniel Fells

- DT Brodrick Bunkley

Rookie sensation Von Miller is poised to stay in action in Week 16. Having been on and off the Broncos' injury report all season, the dynamic linebacker has only missed only a single a start while accruing an astounding 11.5.

Meanwhile, RB Willis McGahee, who has amassed 990 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns in a comeback 2011 season, also should be in action on Saturday. Unfortunately, SS Brian Dawkins has not progressed much with his neck injury and could miss Saturday's game depending on his status come gametime.

Broncos Vs. Bills Odds Update: Denver Are Slim Favorites One Day Before Game

The Denver Broncos could receive a great gift on Christmas Eve if things fall their way. Should the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Oakland Raiders, the Broncos will be halfway to securing the AFC West title. The other half is claiming a victory over the Buffalo Bills.

However, the odds makers are close to seeing this game as going either way. While the line opened at three point in favor of the Broncos, Denver is now only favored by as much as 1.5 points, according to lines provided by Odds Shark.

The over/under has remained fairly steady after opening up at 42.5 points. Other over/under lines have fallen to 41 or 41.5 points. Let's see what Tim Tebow and Ryan Fitzpatrick can do to each others' respective defenses.

Week 16 NFL Picks: ESPN Makes Broncos Over Bills A Nearly Unanimous Choice

The Denver Broncos are hoping that 2008 won't repeat itself; that was the last time the Broncos were in position for a playoff spot and had to play the Buffalo Bills late in the season. It didn't end well for the Broncos, nor did the following two years for the team. But if we believe the cast of characters over at ESPN, the Broncos are almost assured of victory.

Nine of the 10 ESPN panelists select the Broncos to defeat the Bills this Saturday. But do the rest of the AFC West selections play out in favor of securing the Broncos a playoff spot? The Broncos need the Kansas City Chiefs to defeat the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, and eight select the Chiefs to do that. 

If the Broncos and the Chiefs don't win, then the San Diego Chargers' game against the Detroit Lions matters of great import. The Chargers are taken eight times on the panel. Smells like another game for the Lions to pull out a last-minute victory over an AFC West team like they did against the Raiders.

Even Merril Hoge has everything coming up aces for the Broncos. He must want to see Tim Tebow in the playoffs.

Broncos Vs. Bills: No Turnover Within Denver's Offensive Line This Season

The Denver Broncos have started the same five offensive linemen in every game this season, and it's the only team in the NFL to do so. Offensive coordinator Mike McCoy is pleased with the way they've progressed throughout the regular season:

"They’ve gotten better every week," offensive coordinator Mike McCoy said. "That’s something that is going to take time coming together with the limited practices we had going into the season. Like everybody else in this league, we are going to grow and keep going."

That continuity could be one reason why the team has been able to successfully modify its offense to adapt to Tim Tebow's strengths. The Broncos lead the NFL with 163.1 rushing yards per game.

Buffalo Bills Injury Report, Week 16: WR Steve Johnson Limited On Thursday

The Buffalo Bills have released their Thursday injury report as they continue to prepare for this weekend's game against the visiting Denver Broncos. Wide receiver Steve Johnson, who is contending with a groin injury, has been limited in practice each of the last two days. Johnson leads the Bills with 68 receptions for 872 yards this season. Tight end Chandler Scott (ankle) also was limited on Wednesday and Thursday.

Wide receiver Ruvell Martin (hamstring) missed Thursday's workouts after being limited on Wednesday, while tight end Lee Smith (fibula) and running back Johnny White (concussion) were held out for the second straight practice on Thursday.

Denver Broncos Injury Update: Brian Dawkins, David Bruton Questionable; Secondary Depth A Concern Again

One week after not having safeties Brian Dawkins and David Bruton on the field, the Denver Broncos will enter Saturday's game against the Buffalo Bills with the two defensive players listed as questionable, reports Andrew Mason. The Broncos will hope that Dawkins' neck and Bruton's Achilles will allow them to play.

The DBroncos had a weakened secondary against the New England Patriots last week, and it showed with Tom Brady finding tight end Aaron Hernandez for a couple of touchdowns. Rookies Quinton Carter and Rahim Moore have had their moments, but Moore especially has looked lost on the field of play, either beaten badly or with poor technique.

Dawkins injured his neck when he attempted to make a tackle, instead hitting into teammate Robert Ayers.

NFL Picks Week 16: Fox Sports Expert Thinks Tebow and Broncos Will Stay Atop The AFC West

 Peter Schrager of Fox Sports has released his picks for Week 16 in the NFL, and he thinks Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos will keep their tenuous hold on the AFC West division lead with a very important win over the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. Here is what Schrager sees when breaking down the matchup:

Denver at Buffalo: Poor Bills fans. Once upon a time, their team was 5-2, the toast of the league and atop the AFC East standings with a tiebreaker over the Patriots. The Bills are now 5-9, straddled with a $50-plus million contract for a quarterback who's been among the league's worst players over the past eight weeks and boasting a defense that couldn't stop a mid-level college team...

...Tebowmania may have quieted down a bit this week, but he'll get the win on Sunday. The Bills are done. They were done a month ago.

The Pick: Broncos 20, Bills 16

As for the rest of the AFC West, Schrager predicts the Kansas City Chiefs will upend the Oakland Raiders by a score of 24-17, and also believes the Detroit Lions will dispatch the San Diego Chargers, 34-23.

NFL Picks Week 16: AOL Sporting News Likes Broncos To Win Big

SB Nation Denver is continuing to gather NFL Week 16 picks from around the web for Saturday's matchup between the Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills. Tebow and the Broncos might be feeling the pressure with the AFC West division race still undecided, so this game is as big as any the team has seen all season long. Vinnie Iyer of AOL Sporting News has released his picks for this week, and here is what he has to say about the Broncos' chances:

Denver Broncos at Buffalo Bills, Saturday. The Broncos hope to have former Bills feature back Willis McGahee healthy for this game so he can run all over his old team, which has plummeted to the No. 29 ranking in rush defense. That should also mean good news for the between-the-tackles work of Lance Ball and, of course, Tim Tebow. After last week's loss to New England, look for Denver to go back to limiting Tebow's pass attempts to 15 attempts or fewer. One of those shots will turn into a TD to either Eric Decker or Demaryius Thomas that helps the Broncos pull away early. Broncos 30, Bills 17.

As for the rest of the AFC West, here is how Iyer sees the action developing:

• The Oakland Raiders will upend the Kansas City Chiefs, 20-17.
• The San Diego Chargers will upset the Detroit Lions on the road, 31-27.

Iyer is 148-76 for the year-to-date, and went 7-9 straight up in Week 15.

NFL Picks Week 16: CBS Sports Prefers Broncos Over Bills, 3-2

The Denver Broncos are going to have a tough time against the Buffalo Bills, even though the Bills are on a seven-game losing streak. It's almost a do-or-die situation for the Broncos to make the playoffs; a loss just forces the Broncos to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs at Mile High during the final week of the season (other possibilities exist for that final game to settle the division).

Over at CBS Sports, the panel of five experts split their selection for this game, but in the end it comes down in favor of the Broncos, 3-2. Apparently Pete Prisco, who really doesn't like Tim Tebow as an NFL quarterback, doesn't think the Broncos are going to win this game. This isn't really a surprise. Turning to picks against the spread, the panel still sticks with its same choices for this game.

In other AFC West selections, it's 3-2 in favor of the Kansas City Chiefs over the Oakland Raiders. If the Chiefs win and the Broncos win, the AFC West is Denver's. The San Diego Chargers game against the Detroit Lion becomes moot in determining the AFC West if the above scenario occurs, but four of the five panelists select the Chargers.

Buffalo Bills Injury Report, Week 16: Steve Johnson Participates On Wednesday

The Buffalo Bills are trying to end their season on a relatively high note, and beating the Denver Broncos in front of the home crowd this week would go a long way towards doing that. Buffalo has really struggled of late while dropping out of contention, but they should have a fairly healthy lineup as they suit up to face the Broncos this weekend.

The official injury report for Buffalo's Wednesday practices can be found here, but it's shown below, too:

Did Not Participate

- TE Lee Smith

- RB Johnny White

Limited Participation

- WR Steve Johnson

- WR Ruvell Martin

- TE Scott Chandler

It's a fairly short list, which is always good news. It's also good news that wide receiver Steve Johnson, one of the team's most important offensive weapons, was healthy enough to participate on a limited basis after missing practice on Tuesday.

Denver Broncos Injury Report, Week 16: All Players Active For Wednesday Practices

The Denver Broncos have a big game against the Buffalo Bills this weekend as they try to bounce back from last week's loss against the New England Patriots. Luckily for Denver, they should be at or near full strength as they do so. The Broncos recently announced their injury report for Wednesday's practices, and there wasn't a single active player that failed to participate.

With all 53 players on the active roster participating in practice, a rarity once you get this late into the year, there are presumably some positive vibes around Denver right now. The Broncos' full injury report can be seen here, but it's shown below:

Limited Participation

- S David Bruton

- S Brian Dawkins

Full Participation

- LB Von Miller

- RB Willis McGahee

- TE Daniel Fells

- DT Broderick Bunkley

While key guys like Miller, McGahee and Dawkins are all listed on the report, each is expected to play this weekend.

Stevie Johnson Injury Update: Bills WR Practices On Wednesday

The Buffalo Bills are preparing to play the Denver Broncos this weekend, and they got some good news on Wednesday as starting wide receiver Stevie Johnson was healthy enough to practice with the team on Wednesday. Johnson's been dealing with a groin injury of late, and missed practice on Tuesday.

It appears that his status improved enough over the course of the past couple days to allow him to participate in practices on Wednesday, though. As one of Buffalo's key offensive weapons, this is what most Bills fans probably wanted to hear. Buffalo is facing one of the better defenses in the league this weekend when they match up against Von Miller and company, so they'll likely want to be as close to full strength as possible.

Johnson, 25, is having another strong season for the Bills. After breaking out for over 1000 yards receiving last season, the fourth-year pro has caught 68 passes for 872 yards and 6 touchdowns in 14 games so far this season.

Denver Broncos Injury Update: Andre Goodman Returns To Practice; Brian Dawkins, Willis McGahee Practice Again

The Denver Broncos had every player participating during Wednesday's afternoon practice, reports Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post. Cornerback Andre Goodman returned one day after being out for personal reasons.

Safety Brian Dawkins missed last Sunday's game against the New England Patriots with a neck injury, but he practiced for the second straight day. Also returning to practice was safety and special teams player David Bruton, who missed last weekend's game.

Defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley and running back Willis McGahee also practiced for a second straight day. Bunkley left the game after being injured during play while McGahee dealt with a leg issue and barely played after leaving in the first half. He sat out the fourth quarter since the team was losing badly.

Week 16 NFL Picks And Predictions: Broncos Face Tough Contest Against Bills

The Denver Broncos are slight road favorites against the Buffalo Bills this Christmas Eve, but a playoff spot is in reach depending on how things play out on Saturday. Should the Broncos defeat the Buffalo Bills and should the Kansas City Chiefs put a 'W' on the board at home against the Oakland Raiders, Denver wins the AFC West. That's the simplest way for the Broncos to finally win another division title.

How will the AFC West games play out this weekend?

Oakland Raiders (7-7) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (6-8), 11 a.m. MT: Going into Arrowhead Stadium is never easy. Going there in December is even tougher. These two teams are on different extremes after last weekend. The Raiders suffered one of the worst defeats this season by allowing two touchdowns in the final five minutes and then having a field goal blocked as time expired. The Chiefs are riding an emotional high after upsetting the now 13-1 Green Bay Packers. PICK: CHIEFS

Denver Broncos (8-6) vs. Buffalo Bills (5-9), 11 a.m. MT: Sure, the Bills have lost seven straight games, but that doesn't mean the Broncos should overlook them. The Broncos did get a look at the Bills during the preseason, a team far different than the current one or even the one that started 5-2. This is going to be a close one for Denver; however, the Broncos do have Matt Prater to come through when it counts the most. PICK: BRONCOS

San Diego Chargers (7-7) vs. Detroit Lions (9-5), 2:05 p.m. MT: Can the Lions make it a clean sweep of the AFC West this season? They had that thrilling one-point victory over the Raiders last week and blew out the Broncos and Chiefs earlier in the season. The Chargers are playing strong once again in December, and as long as they win and the Broncos lose the AFC West race is still in their grasp. PICK: CHARGERS

Denver Broncos Injury Update: RB Willis McGahee, SS Brian Dawkins Practice; CB Andre Goodman Sits

Denver Broncos fans got some news -- part good, part bad -- Tuesday morning as Lindsay Jones of the Denver Post reported a couple of key players participating in practice. According to Jones, the Broncos' starting running back Willis McGahee and starting strong safety Brian Dawkins both practiced today.

McGahee, undergoing a career renascence, leads the team with 990 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns in 2011, averaging 4.8 yards per carry. The Broncos offense relies heavily on its running game, so McGahee's health has played a key role their surprise success.

Meanwhile, Jones also reports starting cornerback Andre Goodman in fact did not practice today. Goodman has 2 interceptions, 8 pass deflections and 2 fumble recoveries in 2011.

Marcell Dareus Injury: Bills DT Waiting For Evaluation On Hand

The Buffalo Bills were without rookie defensive tackle Marcell Dareus for most of Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins due to a hand injury. He left during the first half and then returned for a brief time during the second half. However, he did not return after the second absence from the game. He will be evaluated on Monday, reports the Bills' official site.

The Bills host the Denver Broncos on Saturday, Dec. 24. With Dareus' status undetermined at this point, we have no idea if Dareus will be able to chase after Tim Tebow and show the Broncos why they should have take him over Von Miller. However, Miller's already proven his worth with 11.5 sacks in 13 games.
