The league hasn't reached agreements with several major cable operators, which would significantly cut into potential viewership for Thursday's matchup of the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs. Local outlets will carry the game, as will satellite TV and a number of cable systems that do carry the NFL Network. But that totals only about 40 million of the nation's 111.4 million households with TVs. Most notable am |

DENVER (AP) -Nick Ferguson usually bounded through the locker room, knocking objects - namely food - out of teammates' hands, cracking jokes and making of fun of whoever stood in front of him. The locker room seemed quieter Tuesday without the Denver Broncos strong safety. Ferguson had season-ending surgery Tuesday to repair a torn medial meniscus in his left knee. ``He was really hoping he could play with it, but the doctors said there's no way,'' coach Mike Shanahan said after Tuesday's practice. ``I |

DENVER (AP) -The Denver Broncos are preparing to play without starting strong safety Nick Ferguson on Thanksgiving Day in Kansas City - and perhaps for much longer. Ferguson underwent an MRI exam on his left knee on Monday. Although the team didn't announce any results, his teammates and coaches were talking Tuesday as though the seventh-year pro would be out for a while. ``It's depressing,'' cornerback Domonique Foxworth said. ``He's been playing really well for us, so it's really disappointing.

DENVER (AP) -Two straight losses at home. A game behind San Diego in the AFC West. A defense suddenly allowing points and a quarterback who's thrown more interceptions than touchdown passes. It adds up to a bunch of negatives, but the Denver Broncos remain positive. ``We've got plenty of time to get back to where we want to be,'' tight end Stephen Alexander said. ``I hope that when you ask anybody, they'd say we're one of the top teams.'' Never mind that 35-27 loss to San Diego on Sunday night. The B |
