"Poor Eddie Royal was gassed. The rookie receiver had run 71 yards on a reverse, came back to catch an 11-yard pass from Jay Cutler to move the Broncos deep into Buffalo territory, and now the first quarter was finished. "I was dead tired," Royal said. "And Jay saw that. It was the end of the quarter, we were walking the other way, and Jay just grabbed me and gave me a hug and said, 'Come on. I need you.' That type of motivation from your leader will make you want to do everything for a guy." Not that Royal and his mates always receive an encouraging embrace from the man who runs the Broncos' huddle. "He's not the type to say anything. He'll just give you a stare," Royal said. "That might ..."

"The Broncos' record book will indicate no quarterback has thrown for more yards in a season than Jay Cutler has this year and that he set the prestigious record at home in what, at first glance, was a solid all-around performance. Combing through the fine print of Cutler's performance Sunday, though, will reveal shortcomings that cost the Broncos the game and, ultimately, could end the team's hopes for the AFC West Division crown. Cutler enjoyed his seventh 300-yard passing game of the season and joined Jake Plummer and John Elway as the only Broncos quarterbacks to surpass 4,000 passing yards in a season. Yet Cutler and the Broncos offense displayed a boggling inability to execute in the ..."

"Jay Cutler has proved good enough for a Pro Bowl selection. He has proved good enough to have the best statistical passing season in Broncos history. Now he has to prove he can lead a team with a woeful defense and little running game to the playoffs. Cutler broke Jake Plummer's single-season record of 4,089 passing yards and John Elway's record of 349 completions, but he also threw an interception at the goal line in the fourth quarter that allowed Buffalo to secure a 30-23 upset win over the Broncos. "I think he made some great plays with a lot of pressure on him, but obviously there were a couple of opportunities he wished he had back," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said. Facing infamy. ..."

"So you think Jay Cutler gets an earful as quarterback? Try repeating this three times without tripping over your tongue. Falcon left shift to weak left tight wide left H2 X bingo wide smash. And that's just a basic pass play the Broncos used in their 16-13 win against Tampa Bay earlier this season. "Forget the success of the play," Broncos play-by-play announcer Dave Logan said. "Just getting the play called and to the quarterback and relayed to his teammates and getting to the line of scrimmage . . . there are so many variables involved." While the "Toro, Toro, Toro" fire drill that set up Jason Elam's winning field goal last year against Buffalo proved every second counts, just getting ..."

"The vibe is different at Dove Valley this week. "It's a big game," Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler said Wednesday as preparation began for a contest Sunday against the visiting Buffalo Bills that would vault Denver into the playoffs with a victory. "Everyone in the locker room understands that. Everyone in the building, for that matter, understands that." And everyone affiliated with the Broncos knows this, too: If Denver is going to succeed where it failed Sunday in its bid to clinch a postseason berth, it's up to Cutler to lead the way. A team can thrive without stellar quarterback play if it has a dominant defense, a top-tier running game and/or plays relatively mistake-free. The Broncos ..."

"It's a big week in Santa Claus, Ind. But not just because of that. Santa Claus' favorite elf has been selected to play in the Pro Bowl, and he could lead his team to an NFL division title Sunday. Ho. Ho. Ho. "Half of me is ecstatic. The other half wasn't surprised a'tall," says Jay Burch, the athletic director at the high school in Kringleville. "I always figured great things would happen after he grew into his britches." Jay is talking about the other Jay. When Burch arrived in the tiny holiday town on the Indiana-Kentucky border in 2000, he began studying tapes of the team's games the previous season. "There was this scrawny little kid at quarterback, and, anyway, I didn't pay a whole ..."

"The Denver Broncos had their three-game road win streak snapped after losing 30-10 to a Carolina Panthers team that is still undefeated at home. Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler talked about the loss and the team's failure to clinch the AFC West on his CBS4 show Qwest Jay Cutler Live! He also welcomed strong safety Josh Barrett as his guest on the show. The Broncos have a two-game lead in the AFC West with two games to go. Denver would have clinched the division title with a win over the Panthers or a San Diego loss, but the Chargers came back late in the game and beat the Kansas City Chiefs 22-21. "We couldn't end it just yet, you know," Cutler joked. "We had to drag it out a little bit ..."

"Jay Cutler thought 4,000 passing yards was a realistic possibility in only his third season as an NFL quarterback - just not this fast. "I thought we'd have a chance going into the last game of getting 4,000," the Broncos quarterback said Wednesday. "But being able to maybe get it in Week 14 is kind of crazy." With three games left, Cutler already has eight more completions and 22 more attempts than he had last season. Yet it's his yardage that has really skyrocketed. With 321 yards Sunday at Carolina, in his team's 14th game, he'll become only the third Broncos quarterback to hit the 4,000-yard threshold. He needs to average only 137 yards in the final three games to become the 38th ..."

"Wade Wilson, the Minnesota Vikings' quarterback, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 1984. He was 25 years old and on the verge of his third season in the NFL. Publicly acknowledging that he had the disease, he said he would need to be zealous about monitoring it for the rest of his career - however long his career lasted. With a lot of help, Wilson managed it quite well. He played through 1998. At some point during his 11-season stint with the Vikings, Wilson was booked to be a speaker at a diabetes- related function, and a young hockey player in the Twin Cities area,
