The Denver Broncos are the defending Super Bowl champions and have started the 2016 NFL season with a 2-0 mark.The Cincinnati Bengals, who were a media darling this offseason to finally break through their playoff slump and compete for a Super Bowl, are 1-1. These two AFC titans face off at Paul Brown Stadium on Sunday (1 p.m. ET) with early-season playoff implications already in play.The big headline for this game will be how Broncos first-year quarterback Trevor Siemian handles his initial start on the road.With wins at home against the Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts, a real challenge lies ahead in Ohio for the young quarterback. How Siemian and a shuffled offensive line handle the crowd noise and defense of Cincinnati will be interesting to watch.While the second-year quarterback hasnt put up impressive statistics, he also hasnt been the worst quarterback to start for a Super Bowl champion either. That could send the team in a different direction if he struggles on the road in this contest.The Bengals finally get a home game after losing a hard-fought battle in Pittsburgh, 24-16, this past Sunday. They squeaked out a major AFC win in Week 1, on the road with a 23-22 victory over the New York Jets.Even with a split record, Cincinnati is looking up at the Steelers (2-0) and the Baltimore Ravens (2-0) in the AFC North. Some home cooking and friendly confines could be just the remedy the Bengals need to get back on that winning track.We knew that the beginning of the schedule was going to be a big challenge. We came into this game (Pittsburgh) with an opportunity to steal one on the road. We slugged it out the whole game. Well continue to grow each week, left tackle Andrew Whitworth said about the tough schedule the Bengals face in the first three weeks.This contest pits one of the best defenses in the NFL against one of the top offenses.Denver is allowing its opponents an average of 293 yards per game. The Broncos tied for the NFL lead with Seattle for the fewest yards per play at 4.4. Denver boasts outside linebacker and Week 2 AFC Defensive Player of the Week Von Miller, who leads the NFL in sacks with four.Thats Von Miller, the most unblockable dude in the game. 99 on Madden, 99 swim move, 99 spin move, 99 across the board for that kid, running back C.J. Anderson said of his defensive teammate.Millers strip-sack of quarterback Andrew Luck of the Colts sealed the game for the Broncos.When Cincinnati has the football, there are two key matchups for which to watch. First, Miller against offensive tackles Whitworth and Cedric Ogbuehi. The Bengals offensive line has given up eight sacks this season, which is the most in the league.Ogbuehi is in his first season as a starter and while he has size and foot quickness, he struggled in both the pass and run blocking phases versus the Jets and Steelers.If the Bengals need to use a tight end or running back to help block Miller in the passing game, this should free up a linebacker or another defensive lineman to rush quarterback Andy Dalton. However, the loss of outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware with a broken arm favors Cincinnatis offensive line.The Bengals offense, especially the passing attack, is hitting on all cylinders early in the 2016 campaign. Cincinnati is averaging 396.5 yards a game with an average play of 6.1 yards.Dalton leads the league with 732 passing yards. The Bengals offense has relied on the deep ball in leading the NFL with 13 passes of 20-plus yards.The other matchup to watch is Broncos cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Chris Harris against wide receiver A.J. Green. Green tore up the Jets secondary for 180 yards but was held in check by an average secondary in Pittsburgh.Denvers back half is as good as there is in the NFL. Both Talib and Harris have an interception on the season and the former returned his grab for a pick-six. Green has the size advantage over Harris, so look for Green to line up over the smaller player as much as possible in the game. The Broncos did give up a touchdown to Green in their game last season, but held the five-time Pro Bowler to 58 receiving yards.On the flip side, the Broncos rushing attack is one of the best in the NFL and Anderson ranks sixth in the NFL with 83 yards rushing a game. The Bengals run defense is statistically the worst in the NFL as defensive coordinator Paul Guenthers unit has allowed 138 yards rushing per game at 4.2 yards an attempt.But give this defense some credit: It has not allowed a rushing touchdown in 2016.The Broncos offensive line will be without starting right tackle Donald Stephenson due to a calf injury. His departure from the lineup means either Ty Sambrailo or Michael Schofield will man the right tackle position.The Bengals defensive line, especially left defensive end Carlos Dunlap, needs to apply pressure from the edge on the young signal-caller for the Broncos.

Brett Kulak and Jackson Houck of the Vancouver Giants were each charged with assault causing bodily harm on Aug. 18, according to the B.C. court services. http://www.cheapjordanschinawholesale.com/cheap-air-jordan-2-china-wholesale-117e.html . Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. Clearance Jordans China . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL. Cheap Air Jordan Shoes .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. AVONDALE, Ariz. -- A relaxed Kevin Harvick sat on the wall of pit road after qualifying Friday night as if he didnt have the weight of the season riding on Sunday afternoon at Phoenix International Raceway.Harvick faces a virtual must-win situation Sunday if he wants to advance to be among the four drivers eligible for the championship Nov. 20 at Homestead-Miami Speedway.He has capitalized on must-win situations before. Harvick has also experienced victory after bad races dropped him into perilous situations over the past three years of the elimination-style Chase for the Sprint Cup format.He is at no better track to need a win. Harvick has won four of the past five races at Phoenix since joining Stewart-Haas Racing, and he has triumphed in six of the past eight overall.I have magic, Harvick quipped. I went to Disney World one time. And I found this magic wand. And I wave it here.Starting sixth in the race Sunday, Harvick is expected to be a force. But one of his biggest concerns could be Austin Dillon, who delivered a veiled threat to Harvick after he wrecked Dillon last Sunday at Texas.He didnt like it that the silver-spoon kid was out-running him tonight. ... There are two more weeks (for possibly payback), Dillon said last Sunday.Asked about it Friday, Dillon said, I dont really have no comment. Im here to race and win this race.Harvick, who said in 2013 that the Dillon brothers have got no respect for what they do in this sport and theyve had everything fed to them with a spoon, left a message for Dillon over the past week. Dillon, the grandson of team owner Richard Childress, did not return the message.He can handle things however he wants to handle them, Harvick said. Obviously hes a little bit bitter over what I said in [2013], and thats probably a little bit my fault for not speaking to him about those situations. ... As far as the incident itself, it is pretty self-explanatory when you watch the in-car as to what happened.There was nothing intentional there. He was mad and he should be mad. Theyre just starting to perform like they need to perform, and he likes to win. Hes aa competitor, and I cant blame him for that.ddddddddddddHarvick says he thinks tracks havent done enough to honor his team co-owner Tony Stewart, who will retire from Cup racing after this season. Stewart publicly stated he didnt want a bunch of attention, as Jeff Gordon received a year earlier, but Harvick said more should have been done anyway.I dont think anybody did a very good job of giving him the credit that he deserved throughout the year from the race tracks and from a sport standpoint, Harvick said. Thats been very disappointing.I know that Tony probably would say he wouldnt want that [hoopla].Maybe Harvick was just trying to turn the story of his back against the wall into a story about Stewart. His team doesnt need the distraction.We just try not to even think about the Chase part of it, crew chief Rodney Childers said. I just try to think about going and winning races. ... We definitely have to work hard and put our best effort forward and do everything right.Harvick said his position is no different than the rest of the Chase field who face possible elimination. Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards have already clinched spots, and two points separate Joey Logano, Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin. Kurt Busch?is 33 points behind the cutoff. Only two of the six drivers will advance Sunday with four of the drivers eliminated.A win will clinch a berth for any of the drivers, but Logano can clinch a spot if he finishes second and leads a lap; Busch if he finishes second and leads the most laps. If not, they need circumstances to fall in their favor for them to advance.Everybody is in the same position that we are, Harvick said.Because if somebody [in the Chase] wins, there is only going to be one points guy that goes through, so you need to pretend like youre in a must-win situation. ... From a team standpoint, to see what everybody is at and how they approach it on our team is fun to me. I like to see them performing and working at that level. ' ' '
