| .' "Don't mess with the bull, young man, you'll get the horns." On the field, his team hasn't fared much better. A Week 1 home opener ended with a respectable enough 34-20 loss to Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings, but subsequent road defeats at Denver Broncos and Baltimore have seen the Browns muster just nine points while surrendering an ugly 61. Outside of a Josh Cribbs punt return in the opener, in fact, Cleveland has visited the end zone just one time on offense - settling instead for five Phil Dawso |

| (MySportsbook) - Through the first three weeks of this 2009 NFL season, the new-and-improved Denver Broncos defense has passed every test thrown its way with flying colors. The revamped outfit will now prepare for what should be its sternest challenge to date when the high-powered Dallas Cowboys invade Invesco Field at Mile High this Sunday for an intriguing interconference matchup. After fielding one of the league's most porous stop units a year ago, the Broncos underwent a major offseason overhaul that i |

DENVER (AP) -Admittedly a work in progress, the Denver Broncos' new 3-4 defense faces its first big test Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Despite a banged-up backfield, the Cowboys (2-1) are the league's top-ranked rushing team behind a behemoth offensive line that promises to pose problems for the Broncos (3-0), who sport the NFL's top-ranked defense. ``We've got to buckle down and eat a lot of steak and potatoes this week,'' Denver linebacker Elvis Dumervil suggested. Actually, too much starch an |

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) -Darren McFadden has been haunted by his performance in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos, reliving every detail of his three fumbles that helped contribute to Oakland's 23-3 loss. McFadden says he hasn't been able to shake those miscues, including one turnover that spoiled Oakland's best shot at a touchdown in the game. Perhaps just as concerning for Oakland has been McFadden's inability to break off the long runs the Raiders expected when they drafted him fourth overall out |

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -His coach, offensive coordinator and even some teammates shy away from the term ``game manager'' when talking about Denver Broncos quarterback Kyle Orton, figuring it has a negative tenor. Not Orton. He embraces the term and doesn't see it as an insult at all. Orton's style is a far cry from his predecessor, Pro Bowl passer Jay Cutler, who famously bragged that his arm was stronger than Hall of Famer John Elway's and often seemed intent on proving just that. Orton isn't nearl |

It's funny how a lucky catch and back-to- back blowouts of also-rans can bring out such enthusiasm. A 3-0 start to an NFL season certainly helps those faithful followers, and Denver is witnessing its fair share of hype after Sunday's 23-3 victory over the AFC West-rival Oakland Raiders.
