Broncos receiver Eddie Royal may have failed to catch a pass in Denver's 34-23 victory over the San Diego Chargers on Monday night, but the second-year pro became the first player in Broncos history to return a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns in the same game.

Royal thinks that one of the San Diego cover-men may have got a hand on him during his 93-yard kickoff return in the first quarter. However, he knows no one touched him on his 71-yard punt return in the second quarter.

Royal became just the 11th player in NFL history to return a kickoff and a...

Sunday in the Big Easy when the 4-0 Saints host 5-0 New York in a battle of unbeaten teams, Giants quarterback Eli Manning finally makes his NFL debut in the city of New Orleans, the place were he grew up. His father, Archie, quarterbacked the Saints when Manning was a youngster, and his parents live just minutes from the Superdome.

Following last Sunday's embarrassing 6-3 loss to the Cleveland, the Buffalo Bills suffered another blow. Someone stole a 1,000-pound pine statue of Hall of Famer Thurman Thomas from the stadium's parking lot.

The statue was unveiled in a parking lot at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park before last weekend's game. The monument to Thomas was carved from a tree and part of an exhibit honoring trees lost in a 2006 snowstorm by Therese Forton-Barnes, the founder of Carvings for a Cause.
