DENVER - The team that rolled into the Super Bowl on the strength of Peyton Mannings right arm last season doesnt look nearly as efficient through the air anymore. China Shoes Black Friday .The Denver Broncos couldnt be happier with the way theyve morphed into a well-rounded team that can win in the wintry weather: with a dominant defence and a good ground game.I feel good about this team, Broncos coach John Fox said, adding hell feel even better after a weeks rest.The Broncos (12-4) secured the AFCs No. 2 seed and a first-round bye with a 47-14 whooping of the Oakland Raiders on Sunday in which Manning didnt throw a single touchdown pass.While Manning was held out of the end zone for the second time this month — after throwing a touchdown pass for 51 consecutive games — C.J. Anderson ran for three touchdowns, one of which was set up by Omar Boldens 76-yard kickoff return, Connor Barth kicked four field goals and cornerback Tony Carter capped a dominant day by the defence with a fumble return for a score.When you get all three phases of the game playing like we did today, we can be a dangerous team to stop, said Anderson, who has eight TD runs to Mannings five TD throws since Thanksgiving.Anderson gained 87 yards on just 13 carries for a 6.7-yard average and finished the season with 1,173 yards from scrimmage despite not winning the starting tailback job until midseason.C.J.s been great, Manning said. Hes been really solid and good in the passing game, good in the pass protection and made a lot of big runs. The lines done a good job of springing him. It was good to get Ronnie (Hillman) back today. Those two guys can be a pretty good little 1-2 punch.Hillman returned to the Broncos backfield for the first time since spraining his left foot Nov. 9 and added 56 yards on 15 rushes.Other takeaways from Denvers seventh straight win over the Raiders (3-13), who lost their 11th straight road game and missed the playoffs for the 12th consecutive season:WELCOME BREAK: The Broncos had their bye way back in September and sorely need the extra week. Not only did Manning acknowledge he was a little beat up physically, but safety David Bruton and left guard Orlando Franklin sustained concussions.Demaryius Thomas (hand) and Emmanuel Sanders (back), who combined for 212 catches for 3,023 yards and 20 touchdowns, are ailing. And the bye week will allow top tackler Brandon Marshall (foot) and Pro Bowl safety T.J. Ward (neck) more time to get healthy.I feel like all the other players in the locker room, guys that have played 17 weeks of physical football, Manning said. I think this bye week is coming at a good time.SPECIAL TEAMS: The Broncos have found some spark in their return game after switching from Isaiah Burse to Wes Welker on punts and from Bubba Caldwell to Bolden on kickoffs.Welker had punt returns of 18 and 19 yards and Boldens 76-yard kickoff return set up a score Sunday.I enjoy getting the ball in my hands, said Welker, whose 49 catches for 464 yards and two TDs represented his worst statistical season since 2005 in Miami.SAFETY INJURED: Bruton was briefly hospitalized after being carted off the field following an illegal hit by Denico Autry while covering a punt return late in the game. The team said Bruton sustained a concussion but was cleared of any other injuries.As Bruton lay on the field receiving medical attention, his teammates and coach John Fox surrounded him. Before Bruton was carted off, Raiders quarterback Derek Carr patted him on the chest. Bruton waved to the crowd as he disappeared into the tunnel, drawing a large ovation.WELCOME BACK?: The Raiders may be in the market for a new coach and starting free safety. Or maybe not. Interim coach Tony Sparano is hoping to return in 2015, and one of his biggest supporters is 38-year-old Charles Woodson.I think the guys on this team, they actually believe in Coach Sparano, Woodson said. He did a good job with the guys on a week-to-week basis, trying to get us ready for games, having us prepared as a team. I think hes made a good case.Woodson thinks he made a good case to return for another season himself.Notes: Brock Osweiler threw the first TD pass of his three-year career, a 1-yarder to Virgil Green, a first for the fourth-year tight end. ...

Feeling rusty but ready to play again, Tiger Woods said Friday he would return to competition next week at Congressional in the Quicken Loans National. Woods last played on March 9 at Doral, where he dealt with pain in his lower back and closed with a 78 for his highest final-round score on the PGA Tour. He had back surgery March 31, forcing him to miss the Masters for the first time. He also missed the U.S. Open last week at Pinehurst No. 2. The announcement on his Facebook page delivered a jolt of good news to golf. Woods has been the games biggest draw since he turned pro in 1996, and with limited information about his recovery, speculation was starting to build that he might not make it to any majors this year. "After a lot of therapy, I have recovered well and will be supporting my foundation next week at the Quicken Loans National," Woods said on Facebook. "Ive just started to hit full shots, but its time to take the next step. I will be a bit rusty, but I want to play myself back into competitive shape. Excited for the challenge ahead." This is the first year for a new title sponsor at the PGA Tour event that donates its charity money to the Tiger Woods Foundation, and the tournament earlier this year secured an agreement to return to Congressional every other year through 2020. Woods on Thursday announced that he signed a new endorsement deal with MusclePharm, which will display its logo on his golf bag. "He has been the face of golf for the last 15, 20 years, and golf is a better sport and a better place with Tiger Woods in it," two-time major champion Rory McIlroy said last week at the U.S. Open. "So hopefully, he has a speedy recovery and he gets back on the course soon, because any tournament where Tiger Woods is a factor, he creates a big buzz." This is the second-longest break Woods has taken from golf because of injury. He missed the second half of the 2008 season when he had reconstructive surgery on his left knee just a week after winning the U.S. Open for his 14th major. Even though he spent the off-season working on his body, there were signs early that something might be wrong. He missed the 54-hole cut at Torrey Pines, where he was the defending champion and an eight-time winner at one of his favourite courses. He had his worst finish ever at Dubai when he tied for 41st. Then, he withdrew in the final round of the Honda Classic because of back spasms, and deespite being in the penultimate group at Doral, he struggled badly with his back on the final day after taking a swing from an awkward stance outside a bunker.

Woods had microdiscectomy surgery a week before the Masters, and he has said in rare appearances that he did not know how long it would take to properly heal. His agent, Mark Steinberg at Excel Sports Management, said earlier this week that Woods was making enough progress to extend his swing. Even so, playing the Quicken Loans National was thought to be too soon. It couldnt come soon enough for the tournament. "Were thrilled, obviously," said Mike Antolini, the tournament director and vice-president of championships for the Tiger Woods Foundation. "Anytime you get that call and Tiger is in your field, its really the best news you can get. The fact hes a two-time champion and the tournament hosts, were very excited for the fans." He said he expected a spike in ticket sales with Fridays announcement. The strength of Quicken Loans National field has suffered in recent years as more Europeans moved into the top 20 in the world, and they headed across the Atlantic Ocean as the European Tour headed places like Ireland, France and Scotland leading up to the British Open. Adam Scott, who has replaced Woods at No. 1 in the world while he has been out, is not planning to return to Congressional this year. "To be honest, we were prepared regardless for a good event," Antolini said. "Our ticket sales, we think theyre going to be increased on this news now." Three years ago, Woods withdrew after nine holes at The Players Championship because of an Achilles tendon injury and missed more than two months. He said then he had learned from past mistakes and would not try to return before he was in full health. Assuming he is at full strength now, he likely will be at the British Open at Royal Liverpool and the PGA Championship at Valhalla, where he won majors the last time they were held on those courses. Woods been stuck on 14 majors since that 08 U.S. Open victory. Woods is at No. 207 in the FedEx Cup -- having played only three events -- and could have as many as five events to reach the top 125. He also is at No. 67 in the Ryder Cup standings. U.S. captain Tom Watson has said he would use a wild-card pick on Woods, though he had eased off that position in recent weeks when the status of Woods recovery was unknown. ' ' '
