CINCINNATI -- Four touchdown passes, more than 300 yards passing, two clutch touchdown drives in the fourth quarter.Trevor Siemian played every bit like Peyton Manning in his first road start.In some ways, even better.Siemian was nearly perfect as he rallied the Denver Broncos to a 29-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, leading a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown drives with veteran aplomb.The defending Super Bowl champions biggest offseason challenge was replacing their famous quarterback, and it looks as if they made the right choice. Theyre 3-0 under Siemian, who took over after Manning retired and Brock Osweiler went to Houston.Siemian became the first Bronco to throw for four touchdowns since Manning in 2014 against the Dolphins. No NFL quarterback had thrown for 300 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in their road debut, according to ESPN Stats and Info.Obviously going in, nobody really knew about him, said Emmanuel Sanders, who caught the first two touchdowns. Now everybodys starting to talk about him. Hes always calm, cool and collected, even in the fourth quarter. You should have seen the way he took command in the huddle.Trailing at the start of the fourth quarter, Siemian completed 11 of 12 passes while rallying the Broncos to those fourth-quarter touchdowns. He finished 23 of 35 for 312 yards and a passer rating of 132.1.Im still learning a lot, Siemian said. There are a couple of plays Id like to do over again.Siemian had a 41-yard touchdown pass to Sanders to get it started, and stood in under a heavy rush and connected with Demaryius Thomas on a 55-yard score with 4:23 left to clinch it. Sanders finished with nine catches for 117 yards.The Bengals got their dormant running game going, but were still out of sync as they fell to 1-2 for the first time in five years. Jeremy Hill ran for a pair of touchdowns and 97 yards -- huge strides for Cincinnatis pass-heavy offense -- but Andy Dalton couldnt do much after the Bengals fell behind.Were still trying to find ourselves, said receiver A.J. Green, who had eight catches for 77 yards but dropped a pivotal third-down pass. Weve got to be more consistent.INJURIESBroncos safety T.J. Ward hurt his neck late in the first quarter but returned. The Broncos were already missing safety Justin Simmons. ... Bengals kicker Mike Nugent suffered a shoulder injury while helping to make a tackle during a kickoff return in the second quarter but later made a field goal.UP AND RUNNING ... BRIEFLYAfter two games of getting virtually nothing out of their running game, the Bengals made it a point of emphasis and got immediate results. Hill, who had a total of 53 yards in the first two games, broke off a 50-yard run on Cincinnatis opening possession -- his longest run since 2014. He capped the drive with a 3-yard TD run, giving the Bengals a season high in rushing after one series. Denver clamped down the rest of the way.NOT-SO-SWEET HOMEThe Bengals are 6-4 in their past nine games at Paul Brown Stadium, including a first-round playoff loss to Pittsburgh.ANTHEMWard raised his right fist during the anthem, the first time hes made such a gesture. Brandon Marshall again went to his knee behind the front line of players.LINE CHANGEThe Broncos switched their offensive line, with Ty Sambrailo starting at right tackle in place of Donald Stephenson, who has a strained calf. Sambrailo got called for holding late in the first half, but Siemian had enough time for his big game. He was sacked only twice.AGGIE VS AGGIEBengals right tackle Cedric Ogbuehi got to block Von Miller, who was a teammate at Texas A&M for one season. In his third NFL start, Ogbuehi -- a first-round pick last season -- got caught holding the Super Bowl MVP once and gave up one of Denvers four sacks.UP NEXTThe Broncos play at Tampa Bay next Sunday.The Bengals have a quick turnaround, getting ready to host the Dolphins on Thursday night.THEY SAID ITBroncos: Thats what weve been waiting for man. Thats a huge step forward for our team to do that on the road against a playoff team. -- cornerback Chris Harris Jr.Bengals: Its still early. Theres a lot to be accomplished. -- Andy Dalton.---Online: AP NFL website www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAuthentic Custom Saints Jersey .

Arguably no other sports practitioners and followers spend as much time as Test crickets do on going back to the past and looking at similar in-match scenarios to try to foretell what is going to happen in a completely different match in a completely different time and played with a completely different set of personnel. Perhaps it is because of the time available overnight. Few other sports rely on the changing nature of a surface during the course of a match. Maybe motor sports because of rain, but that is not natural deterioration.It is perhaps this mix of uncertainty and leisure that sends us back to old scorecards, and cricketers are not immune to it. All through the opening days play, especially when flat deliveries began to go more than a metre upon pitching, we kept thinking of the last Mumbai Test between these two sides. Just to recap, India got the turner they wanted in 2012-13, won the toss, batted first, were bowled out for 327, conceded 413 and couldnt recover from the deficit against the spin duo of Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar.India ended the first day then at 266 for 6. England have managed 288 for 5. R Ashwin, who played a big part in bringing it down to a similar scoreline, couldnt help comparisons. In normal circumstances, 288 on the board on a pitch that became remarkably more difficult over the course of one day should worry India, but the way Ashwin compared the two matches should ease the nerves of Indian fans.When asked what score India would be comfortable responding to looking at the state of the pitch, Ashwin said: When we played England [here] last, the morning, the first day was a bit damp. It spun a little. It was absolutely flat on days two and day three. Im seeing very similar traits here.We got out of jail and got to about 330-340 the last time we played them here. If we can hold them somewhere [there]... if we had got one more wicket tonight, we might have been on course to do that. Probably come out tomorrow morning, and try and snap a couple of quick wickets and see how quickly we can stall their innings.Therein lies the difference. Then, India came back from 60 for 3 and 119 for 5 on a damp pitch. Here, England rollicked along to 230 for 2 before giving India an opening which Ashwin used to bring them back with three quick wickets. That should be a sign of a pitch becoming more difficult to bat on with time, as opposed to getting better on days two and three. But to put this comeback down to just the pitch would be unfair on some classical offspin bowling from Ashwin.England had had a near-perfect first session of 117 for 1 when Ashwin began to pull things back in the second. In a mid-afternoon spell of 12-1-21-1, he cut down debutant Keaton Jennings, he claimed Joe Root yet again, and kept Moeen Ali and Jennings honest. This spell was as much about drift and dip as it was about turn off the surface. After having scored 65 runns in the first session, Jennings spent the next 40 minutes sweating for five runs, which took him 29 balls.dddddddddddd Jennings then got away with reverse-swept and a cover-driven boundaries in successive deliveries, but Root could not.I must say I worked that dismissal in my head because he has got out a lot of times in the slips, Ashwin said of the outside edge he drew from Root. In the last three Test matches we have played, he nicked one in Vizag… I thought he did, but that was overturned. But he has got a tendency to nick spinners to the slip cordon. I saw him nick Dane Piedt in South Africa. He has done it quite a few times, to Nathan Lyon as well. I was just imagining on the first day that this is one of those wickets out of the four Tests we had where edges actually carry to slips. So I was just mentally working it over and it happened.The real rewards, though, came in the final session when England probably played one shot too many. The approach - reverse-sweeping Ravindra Jadeja, stepping out to spinners and not worrying about hitting in the air - seemed like a direct result of coach Trevor Bayliss comments that England had perhaps played themselves into a shell in their last three innings after they had been forced to do so trying to save the Visakhapatnam Test. There can be a case made either way as to whether it worked or not, but Moeens top-edged sweep did give Ashwin an opening.Ashwin didnt mind it because he knew he deserved more for his toil in the afternoon. I thought the rewards in that spell came for what I did in the afternoon session, Ashwin said. I thought I bowled a really good spell then to Jennings, and was that Moeen Ali? Yeah. Got Root out in that spell, but I thought that was one of the better spells of the day, and I got the rewards for that as soon as I came back in the third spell.Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler then showed the message from the coach was more wholesome. He didnt ask for mindless attack. Throughout the series, England have been throwing away parity in the last half hour of sessions and days. But here, the two batted watchfully for 13.4 overs even if brought them just 39 runs. They did what the situation demanded on a pitch they reckoned got difficult to bat on.Ashwin, though, expects otherwise. I think this is a very similar pitch in terms of what it had on the first day, he said. I dont know what it was, but I am just guessing it could have been just the moisture that made the ball spin a little bit in the afternoon session, and towards the end, I think it was the seam position. The more top spinners you bowled, it started spinning more. I am just expecting the wicket to play well from tomorrow onwards.The rest of the team and Indias fans will be hoping for Ashwins expectations to come true. ' ' '
