DENVER -- The Denver Broncos are whole again.Trevor Siemians healthy. Gary Kubiaks back on the sideline. C.J. Anderson is running wild once more, thanks to a nudge from rookie Devontae Booker, and the defense is forcing fumbles like it used to.Von Miller & Co. turned Brock Osweilers homecoming into a house of horrors with a 27-9 win over the Houston Texans on Monday night that snapped a two-game skid.The Broncos (5-2) kept pace with the resurgent Raiders atop the AFC West, a division theyve owned for five years. A loss would have plummeted them into third place.The Texans (4-3) limped home still leading the middling AFC South, where every team has surrendered more points than its scored.We kept Brock out of the end zone and thats perfect, cornerback Aqib Talib said. Thats the goal every week. So, we got our job done this week.Osweiler managed just 131 yards on 22 of 41 passing.I looked up in the fourth quarter, before I think that last drive, and he had like 70 yards passing, Talib said. I just smiled on the inside. Thats what we wanted to do. We wanted Brock to come out here and struggle. He came out here and struggled.Denver shut down Osweiler without the usual sum of sacks they typically pile up on QBs.Osweiler was hit eight times but his only sack came when he mishandled a shotgun snap and fell on the football.The Broncos avoided their first three-game skid since 2011.It was huge, safety T.J. Ward said. Just to get that momentum, get that feeling back in here, that confidence that weve been running with and playing with. After the two losses you could kind of feel the aura of the team just kind of going down. We had great preparation this week, came in and played how we prepared.We back up.Other takeaways from the Broncos bounce-back and the Texans stumble:STREAK SNAPPED: Miller saw his sack streak snapped at eight games, counting the playoffs.There was a sack streak? I wasnt even paying attention to it. My bad, guys, Miller said. You know, Im all about wins. Ill take a win any day. Sacks are great. Thats what I do. Thats my job. I wasnt able to get it done today, but we got it the win.SPRY SIEMIAN: Although Siemians numbers were pedestrian -- 14 for 25 for 157 yards -- he threw a touchdown and had no interceptions or sacks. He moved around much better than he had 11 days earlier against San Diego in his return from a sprained left A.C. joint that clearly affected him in a 21-13 loss to the Chargers.DAVIS RETORT: After taking heat for getting exposed in single coverage by Atlantas speedy running backs and San Diegos tight ends, inside linebacker Todd Davis had four big tackles and a key fumble recovery that led to Denvers final TD.Darian Stewart punched the ball from running back Alfred Blues grasp and it popped up.I just saw the ball in the air. I feel like it took 12 seconds to get in my hands, Davis said. It gave us more momentum.FOSTER RETIREMENT: Former Texans star running back Arian Fosters retirement from the Dolphins -- announced during the Texans-Broncos game -- caught his former teammates off guard.It was pretty surprising, Houston linebacker Brian Cushing said. I think the world of him as a football player. Its not easy to see guys step away from the sport. I admired the way he played and I admired the physical talents. He was one of the most talented running backs possibly ever. Its sad but at the same time hes moving on in life.ROAD WOES: Osweiler is still looking for his first road win with the Texans, who have lost by 27 at New England and 18 at Minnesota and now Denver.Weve got to figure out how to win on the road, thats it, Wilfork said.BLANKET COVERAGE: Big-play receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller V were held to a combined nine catches for 58 yards by Broncos cornerbacks Chris Harris Jr. and Talib. The longest catch was for 13 yards by Fuller.Theyre a great defense. We didnt accomplish what we wanted to accomplish -- plain and simple, Hopkins said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Air Max 97 Kaufen Schweiz .

HOUSTON -- You saw it in small doses on Monday night for Team USA, but in the big picture of the life and times of DeMarcus Cousins, this sequence might demonstrate why hes such a talented player.In the middle of the second quarter of Team USAs easy 110-66 victory over Team Nigeria at the Toyota Center, there was a stretch where Cousins took over.He pulled down a rebound over Ekene Ibekwe, and the Nigerian got a little miffed at how physical Cousins was.If this were a regular-season NBA game in December, instead of the final exhibition game before Team USA heads to Rio, Cousins might have shoved Ibekwe and then jumped in his face. The reality of what this game is, an exhibition, gave Cousins pause and a certain calmness. He just smirked when Ibekwe shoved his arm down a little.No problem, because Cousins just kept playing, and on the next possession, he took the ball on the wing, drawing the defense toward him -- and then sent a pass to the corner, where DeMar DeRozan was waiting.DeRozan took the pass and stormed to the basket for a left-handed dunk from the baseline. This was Cousins showing his skills. When the night was over, Cousins had 10 points, five rebounds and a game-high plus-34 on the plus/minus column of the box score.Ive coached him before, and he knows international competition, Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski said. I thought he played really well, and he has played well; he ran well and he really defended well on the perimeter. Its something unusual for those big guys to be on the perimeter like that; theyre adjusting. And he gives us a low-post threat, and hell pass out of it too -- very unselfish.During the NBA portions of his life, Cousins is seen as someone who has problems with coaches, teammates and referees.This past season, Cousins averaged a carreer-high 26.dddddddddddd points per game and pulled down 11.5 rebounds while shooting 45.1 percent from the field. He was second among centers in real plus/minus at 4.83. However, he led the NBA in technical fouls for the third time in the last four seasons with 17. Cousins temperament can be the biggest distraction to the truth of how good of a player he can be.The next month might be beneficial for Cousins as an opportunity to show the international world just how good of a player and person he is.It goes with whatever storyline is going on at the time -- if its negative, then its negative, Cousins told ESPN. Then if the story is going to be positive and then Im a great guy, I can only control what I can control. I know who I am as a person and thats all that really matters.When several American players -- including Russell Westbrook, James Harden and LeBron James -- were backing out of the Olympic Games to rest their bodies, Cousins raised his hand. He also dealt with health issues this past season, but he wanted to play on the international stage again. In 2014, he was part of the U.S. national teams FIBA World Cup championship team.The only stir Cousins has caused this offseason was questioning the Sacramento Kings draft. Cousins told The Undefeateds Marc Spears he was in hot-sculpting class the night of the draft. Whatever you believe, maybe these Olympic Games will bring more positivity from Cousins.I love the game, he said. I think thats obvious, and Im very passionate in what I do. I love my job. If I have a chance to play against some of the top talent in the world or whether its against guys around the corner, Im going to play. ' ' '
