ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Only three teams in the AFC have double-digit wins and Denver faces all of them to close out the season. Von Miller is asking the Broncos faithful for a little bit of, well, faith, saying, lets not sound the alarm yet.Clinging to the sixth and final playoff spot, the Broncos (8-5) will have to get through New England, Kansas City and Oakland for a chance to defend their Super Bowl title.That looks like a daunting task for a team thats had season-long troubles stopping the run, protecting the passer and holding onto the football.Miller channeled his inner Aaron Rodgers on Monday, asking the restless Broncos fans to relax.I mean, Im still going to be here, right? the star pass rusher told The Associated Press. Im still excited. Im still ready to go. These teams Ive had success with. Ive had success with these three teams in the past. Ive had success with these three teams this year.Tom Brady returns to Denver on Sunday to face the defense that throttled him in the AFC championship in January. The Broncos hit him 23 times and forced him into 29 incompletions, two fourth-down flops and two costly interceptions, one of them on a failed 2-point try that would have tied it with 12 seconds left in the Broncos 20-18 win.In a prelude to his MVP performance in the Super Bowl, Miller had 2+ sacks, four quarterback hits, a pass breakup and an interception that turned into a Denver touchdown that night.Its going to be an exciting game, Miller said. Im ready for it.He said hes also eager for rematches with the Chiefs and Raiders , both of whom beat the Broncos last month.The second time around, you always play the team a little bit better, especially if you lose, said Miller, who had one of his 13+ sacks at Oakland and collected 10 tackles, three sacks and a pass breakup against Kansas City.Miller has shown the ability to take over a game and lead his team to victory even with an offense thats struggling.So, for the Bronco faithful and Bronco Country, have faith in us. Weve been here before, Miller said. Weve been here more than one time before and weve been able to come out on top. I know what it seems like, the sky is falling, but lets not sound the alarm yet.Weve still got to play some really good teams, some playoff teams. And if were able to pass this test, then we know exactly where we are going into the playoffs.Miller said that should the Broncos emerge from this stretch with a playoff ticket, theres no opponent that would welcome a visit from them in the playoffs.Yeah, were going to be good, said Miller, who had more optimism than any member of Denvers downcast offense that trudged through the locker room Monday still smarting over their 13-10 loss at Tennessee .Justin Forsett fumbled away his first carry for Denver, snapping a streak of 950 consecutive touches without a turnover, Bennie Fowler dropped what would have been the go-ahead touchdown pass with less than 5 minutes remaining and A.J. Derby was stripped of the football near midfield in the final minute.I definitely had a sleepless night last night, Derby said.Fowler didnt get much shut-eye, either, thinking about the Trevor Siemian fastball that went off his face mask on third-and-goal from the 16 with 4:41 remaining.Yeah, just because we go up 14-13 if I make that catch right there, Fowler said. He put it on the money. I have to make that play. I feel like I let my team down. They all got my back and Im going to come back this week and prepare hard like I always do and put it behind me.Fowlers flub came two weeks after he dived but dropped another perfectly placed pass on the Kansas City 20-yard line one play before Brandon McManus missed a 62-yard field goal attempt that gave the Chiefs a short field to win it as overtime expired.Had he made those two grabs, the Broncos could be 10-3 and tussling with the Patriots next weekend for home-field advantage instead of fighting for their playoff lives.Theyre not lamenting their losses, though, as they embrace their rocky road to the playoffs.Weve got three good teams, Fowler said, and if we come out of this, were going to be really dangerous.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapletonAuthentic Wholesale Nike Shoes . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. Discount Nike Shoes China . Neymar curled home a free kick from just outside the area to put the 2014 World Cup host ahead in the 44th minute.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Its always tough for North Carolina to stop Georgia Techs intricate triple-option offense.If the 18th-ranked Tar Heels cant find a way to do it Saturday, they can pretty much forget about another trip to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.North Carolina (6-2, 4-1, No. 21 CFP) plays host to the Yellow Jackets (5-3, 2-3) knowing they have very little margin for error in their pursuit of a second straight ACC title game berth.The Tar Heels share the lead in the Coastal Division with No. 23 Virginia Tech, and the Hokies hold the tiebreaker by virtue of their 34-3 victory last month. That means North Carolina probably needs a perfect November -- and definitely needs Virginia Tech to lose at least once -- to claim a spot in the relocated game in Orlando, Florida.Youre right on that edge, so all the focus has to be on our preparation each and every week and worrying about ourselves, UNC coach Larry Fedora said.And worrying about Paul Johnsons option offense.The Yellow Jackets rank second in the ACC in rushing, averaging 247.6 yards, and are only 11th in total offense at 386 yards per game. But they got things clicking last week against Duke , rolling up 605 yards -- their most since 2014 -- with Justin Thomas accounting for four touchdowns in a 38-35 victory.I think thats one thing that allows us to get better historically through the year is, we do the same thing over and over, Johnson said. The execution is better. Youre not going to trick anybody. Thats a big misnomer.They always seem to post big numbers against the Tar Heels -- who have the ACCs worst run defense this season.In four meetings since Fedora took over before the 2012 season, Georgia Tecch has averaged 333} yards rushing with 16 touchdowns on the ground -- including seven in that wild 68-50 victory over UNC in 2012.dddddddddddd---Some other things to know about the Georgia Tech-North Carolina game:PREP TIME DISADVANTAGE? UNC had last week off, and that seemingly would give the Tar Heels the advantage of extra prep time for the Tech offense. But in both 2012 and 13, North Carolina was off before facing Georgia Tech and the Yellow Jackets won both games. UNCs wins in the past two years have come without the so-called benefit of a bye.BOWL WATCH: Georgia Tech has won two straight to move one victory shy of a return to bowl eligibility. The Yellow Jackets 18-year postseason streak ended last year after they went 3-9.HOME SWEET HOME: North Carolina wont leave the state in November. This is just the second home game since late September for the Tar Heels, whose only other game at Kenan Stadium was that loss to Virginia Tech. After next weeks short trip to Duke, they finish up at home against N.C. State and The Citadel.KEY MOMENT: Fedora says he knew last years Tar Heels team was special when it rallied from 21 points down in the first quarter to beat Georgia Tech 38-31 in Atlanta behind three touchdown runs from Marquise Williams. He says it pretty much propelled us for the rest of the season.---AP Sports Writer Charles Odum in Atlanta contributed to this report.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.
