The Cleveland Browns can spoil the Denver Broncos chances of catching the Houston Texans for the first overall seed in the AFC with a win in Mile High. So far, the Browns aren't spoiling much, trailing 14-3 at half time in Denver.
Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has been sharp all day, completing 19 of 27 pass attempts for 221 yards with two touchdown passes. But Manning threw a pick to Usama Young in the final seconds of the second half as Denver was driving for a touchdown. Demaryius Thomas leads all receivers on the day with five catches for 67 yards and a touchdown. Running back Knowshon Moreno tops the ball carriers with 38 yards on 11 touches.
Brandon Weeden is having a decent day behind his offensive line. He's completed 11 of 16 passes for 96 yards; most of those yards going to tight end Benjamin Watson who has three catches for 47 yards.
The Broncos have controlled the ball more in the first half with 16:46 in the time of possession column compared to 13:14 for the Browns.
