KANSAS CITY, Mo. — All those doubters who kept saying that Peyton Manning was washed up, that his arm strength was depleted and his drive for championships diminished?He silenced them along with everyone else in Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday night.Manning calmly led the Broncos to a tying touchdown in the final minute, then watched from the sideline as Denver cornerback Bradley Roby returned Jamaal Charles' fumble 21 yards for another score with 27 seconds left to cap a stunning 31-24 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.“The talk doesn't really get to me,” said Manning, who threw for 256 yards and three touchdowns along with a pick-six.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Clemson players chose to focus more on the result of their performance against Louisville rather than how it looked, a wise choice considering things were sometimes hard to look at.The mission now for the No. 11 Tigers is building on the many good things that worked in their 20-17 escape of the Cardinals on Thursday night.Deshaun Wathson provided many of the positives by throwing two touchdown passes while Wayne Gallman ran for 139 yards as the Tigers won the Atlantic Coast Conference opener for both schools. Clemson sacked quarterback Kyle Bolin five times and held the Cardinals to 19 yards rushing, offsetting ragged stretches that gave Louisville several chances to tie or win down the stretch.

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Only the weather could stop Jason Day at the BMW Championship on Thursday.Day began his latest quest to reach No. 1 in the world by holing out from a fairway bunker for eagle and powering his way to nine birdies.

He needed to hole that shot for a 59, and he had to wait until Friday morning for that. The round was to resume at 7:30 a.m.Jordan Spieth had a hole-in-one and followed with a chip-in from 80 feet.
