| (MySportsbook) - Defense has been the Baltimore Ravens' calling card during a decade that has seen the team garner its fair share of success. The Denver Broncos are beginning to establish a reputation for superiority on that side of the ball as well. The surprising Broncos will put an unblemished record on the line in this Sunday's visit to M&T Bank Stadium, where the Ravens will be poised to put an end to a frustrating three-game losing streak. Denver's 6-0 start under the leadership of a new head coa |

| Area home. The loss dropped the Raiders - who'd been coming off an upset of the Philadelphia Eagles - to a particularly ugly 2-5, good for third in an AFC West Division that's rapidly becoming the personal playpen of the surprisingly still-unbeaten Denver Broncos at 6-0. Oakland has allowed nearly three points for each one it's scored, saw maddeningly unimpressive quarterback JaMarcus Russell benched in favor of journeyman Bruce Gradkowski against the Jets and only barely escaped further embarrassment when h |

SAN DIEGO (AP) -The San Diego Chargers might want to send a thank-you note to the NFL schedule makers. After bruising losses to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos, the Chargers were handed the perfect get-well remedy: the two worst teams in the AFC West. Last Sunday the Chargers routed the last-place Kansas City Chiefs by 30 points. This Sunday they get a home date with archrival Oakland, and with it the chance to beat the lowly Raiders for the 13th straight time. These are the same Raiders ( |

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -Brian Dawkins fires up his teammates with frenzied and feverish dance moves before games. So does Ray Lewis. The Denver Broncos safety sets the tone on the field through big plays and bone-rattling hits. Same with the Baltimore Ravens linebacker. Dawkins and Lewis are made from a similar mold - two highly intense players who thrive on always being in the middle of things. Every elite defense needs one.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -Sixteen years into a vagabond NFL career that most recently featured a championship season, Mitch Berger has come full circle. The 37-year-old punter had his first practice Wednesday with the Denver Broncos since being signed this week as the replacement for second-year pro Brett Kern, who was waived. It was a homecoming of sorts for the Canadian-born Berger, who starred at the University of Colorado in the early 1990s. ``It's been a long time since I've been back in this area,'' |

| Englewood, CO (MySportsbook) - The Denver Broncos waived punter Brett Kern and signed veteran Mitch Berger to replace him on Monday. Berger, a two-time Pro Bowl selection in 1999 and 2004, ranks 10th in NFL history with a 43.0 average on 796 career punts. The 16-year veteran played with the Steelers last season and Denver will be the eighth stop in his illustrious career with stints in Philadelphia, Minnesota, St. Louis, New Orleans, and Arizona.

San Diego finds itself 3 1/2 games behind the unbeaten Denver Broncos in the West standings after being dealt a costly 34-23 home loss at the hands of their longtime rivals on Monday. The Chargers held a 23-17 lead late in the third quarter before surrendering 17 unanswered points to the resilient Broncos, with critic |

Defensively, we've got some thoughts, but whether we can execute that or not ... we'll have to wait until Saturday to find out,'' Grobe said. ``It's not how much the coaches know, it's how much we can |
