Peyton Manning's list of milestones keeps growing. Manning has broken the NFL record for longest regular-season winning streak, most wins in a decade, and franchise marks in every major passing category.

Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress says he's confident in the team's plan to manage rookie Percy Harvin's migraine headaches.

Childress said Wednesday Harvin recently had a "good" visit with specialists at the renowned Mayo Clinic in Rochester. The coach downplayed the significance of bulging... Read Full Story

Josh McDaniels rattled off a lengthy list of miscues and missteps that ended up derailing Denver in a last-minute loss to the Oakland Raiders. The bright spot, the Broncos coach quickly pointed out Monday, was that his team was "far from being dead" in the postseason picture. True enough, but the Broncos (8-6) made their path to the playoffs a whole lot more challenging. Denver had a chance to move a giant step closer to locking up an AFC wild-card spot, only to have JaMarcus Russell come... Read Full Story
