Denver Broncos Beat Kansas City Chiefs 35-21

The Denver Broncos came back from a 21-7 deficit to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 35-28. Broncos receivers Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas combined to catch most of his throws, with Decker snagging four of Broncos QB Peyton Manning’s five touchdown passes.

Peyton Manning threw for 405 yards and Decker caught eight for 174 and four TDs. Thomas had three for 106 yards including an amazing 77-yard catch and run. Knowshon Moreno grabbed Manning’s other TD pass.

Why was Manning able to do that against the Kansas City Chiefs but not the New England Patriots?

The biggest difference between the Sunday game of yesterday and the Sunday Night Football game of two weeks ago wasn’t that the Broncos came back from being down early. No. It was that the KC Chiefs didn’t use the Pats Defensive Playbook. More at Zennie62.com: Denver Broncos Beat Kansas City Chiefs; Eric Decker, Demaryius Thomas Never Saw Bump Coverage

Jadeveon Clowney Hurts 2014 NFL Draft Status

Jadeveon Clowney, the South Carolina Gamecocks Student and Defensive End, reached the top of the charts of many NFL Draft watchers after his amazing performance in 2013, and one that was punctuated by this still-shocking play against Michigan in the Outback Bowl shown in the photo.

But the 2013 season has been a disappointing one for those who believed Jadeveon Clowney was going to destroy the SEC. A series of nagging injuries combined with the large degree of attention placed on him, have combined to wreck his NFL Draft prospects, at least right now.

Beyonce Says She Wasn't Lip-Syncing; Media Says She Was

Beyonce appeared in a press conference in New Orleans at the Super Bowl today, and started the affair with a rendition of The National Anthem that was so 'in-your-face' to critics who claimed she was lip-syncing that it was as funny as it was just plain awesome.

But even though it seemed Beyonce set the record straight, many in the media audience obviously didn't listen.

Take Fox News and this headline: "Beyonce sings national anthem at press conference, admits she lip-synced at inauguration," written by Fox News and The Associated Press. It's wrong.

What Beyonce said was that she "sang along with a pre-recorded track." When a CBS media type asked for a clarification, she said that she did sing.

But, as I said in my video, she was not lip-syncing - I was there.

Stay tuned.
