DENVER (AP) -The Denver Broncos aim to bottle up not only Cleveland Browns kick returner Joshua Cribbs on Sunday, but also the magic of their ``Immaculate Deflection'' in Cincinnati. Both may prove elusive. The Broncos (1-0) believe they can milk Brandon Stokley's 87-yard touchdown with 11 seconds left in their stunning 12-7 win over the Bengals into momentum when they face the Browns (0-1). ``We should have momentum coming out of that game,'' Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton said. ``We got a win opening |

Over the last month of the 2008 campaign, the Jets failed to list Brett Favre on the injury report even though the quarterback had a torn biceps tendon. The Jets were fined $75,000, while Mangini and Tannenbaum were each given a $25,000 assessment. After a tumultuous season last year, the Jets fired Mangini, now the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, and released Favre, who came out of retirement once again to play for the Minnesota Vikings this year. |

Houston didn't just get beat by Mark Sanchez and the Jets, the Texans were thoroughly dominated in 24-7 fashion, looking much closer to this year's edition of the disappointing 2008 Cleveland Browns than a unit really ready to make an impact. When all was said and done, there was nothing about the performance that didn't send out alarm bells. The offense? Atrocious. Not a single offensive point to trouble the scoreboard, with two turnovers, zer |

The Browns also waived defensive back DeAngelo Smith, a rookie out of Cincinnati. |
