| Denver, CO (MySportsbook) - Darrent Williams came up with a big interception late in the contest to lead a stifling defensive effort, as Denver downed the previously-unbeaten Baltimore Ravens, 13-3, in an AFC showdown at Invesco Field. Champ Bailey came up with an interception in the end zone in the final minute of the first half for the Broncos. Jake Plummer secured the win with a late touchdown toss to Rod Smith and ended 13-of-24 for 106 yards with an interception for the Broncos (3-1), who have won 12 st |

DENVER (AP) -Champ Bailey intercepted Steve McNair's pass in the end zone to stop a late drive and Jason Elam's 43-yard field goal sent the Denver Broncos and Baltimore Ravens into halftime tied 3-3 on Monday night. The Ravens had the ball on the Broncos 10-yard line and McNair tried to force a third-down lob pass to receiver Clarence Moore in the right corner. Bailey, who had just been burned for a 26-yard gain, read it correctly and picked off his first pass of the season. The game was billed as a batt |

Unlike a year ago against the same Steelers, or even a week earlier against the Baltimore Ravens, the Chargers didn't blow it. They won 23-13 on Sunday night, a defining moment for both the first-year starting quarterback and an offense that had been so conservative a week earlier. ``That was huge,'' Rivers said Monday. ``It was good to get t |

DENVER (AP) -The Baltimore Ravens took a 3-0 lead after one quarter on Matt Stover's 24-yard field goal following the first of the Denver Broncos' two turnovers Monday night. Chris McAlister recovered Tatum Bell's fumble at the Broncos' 40-yard line, setting up the score. Bell gathered in a screen pass along the sideline, but a hit by Terrell Suggs jarred the ball free. McAlister scooped up the fumble and tightroped the sideline to keep two feet in before falling out of bounds. The Ravens are plus-10 in |

Meanwhile, the defense is on pace to smash the record for fewest points allowed in a 16-game season - 165 by the Baltimore Ravens five years ago. That's not shocking. Chicago had the league's stingiest defense last season and won the NFC North. ``During the game, it's a little surprising because you don't expect to do that in the NFL,'' linebacker Brian Urlacher said. ``We j |

And even though he's used primarily on passing downs, he's a big reason the Broncos had allowed just one touchdown heading into their showdown with the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. Chukwurah has made his money as a special teams ace since joining the league as Minnesota's fifth-round draft pick in 2001 after a standout career at the University of Wyoming.

| (MySportsbook) - The Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos will each put a pair of impressive streaks on the line when the teams clash in a marquee Monday night matchup from Invesco Field at Mile High. Baltimore has put together the first 4-0 start in their history and is one of only three teams, along with Indianapolis and Chicago, to remain unbeaten through the season's first four weeks. To keep their unblemished record intact, however, the Ravens will have to knock off a Denver squad which has won 11 consec |

DENVER (AP) -Trevor Pryce is still bitter over the way his time in Denver ended, so he kept quiet this week. No sense giving the Broncos fresh bulletin board fodder when the unbeaten Baltimore Ravens visit Invesco Field on Monday night. The four-time Pro Bowl defensive end, however, previously has had plenty to say about his former employers since signing a $25 million deal with Baltimore in March after the Broncos jettisoned him in a cost-cutting move after nine seasons. He dissed Denver time and again, |
