Even when he was there, he was a fan of Texas and the Dallas Cowboys, not Colorado and the Denver Broncos. A high school All-American, he didn't even bother to visit the home-state school. ``I wanted to leave Colorado as quick as I could,'' Houston said. ``It's not a place for a teenager or young adult. It's a nice retirement place.'' Houston became |

| on the corner for so long, Champ Bailey is now the one getting picked on. Maybe it's his advancing age - 31 - or that he's coming off a groin injury that cost him half of last season and ended his Pro Bowl streak at eight. Whatever the reason, the Denver Broncos cornerback has seen his workload increase this season as opposing quarterbacks go after him. All Bailey can say is, well, thanks. Bailey certainly made plenty of plays in a 17-10 win over Dallas last weekend that kept the Broncos undefeated. He |

Whatever the details of the win, it ranks as another confidence-builder for a Patriots team set to face another unbeaten opponent this week. The Denver Broncos (4-0), coached by former Pats offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, will present Belichick and company yet another challenge on their road back to the company of the NFL elite, a journey of which several miles were shaved off in Week 4.

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.
