DENVER -- The Denver Broncos are whole again.Trevor Siemians healthy. Gary Kubiaks back on the sideline. C.J. Anderson is running wild once more, thanks to a nudge from rookie Devontae Booker, and the defense is forcing fumbles like it used to.Von Miller & Co. turned Brock Osweilers homecoming into a house of horrors with a 27-9 win over the Houston Texans on Monday night that snapped a two-game skid.The Broncos (5-2) kept pace with the resurgent Raiders atop the AFC West, a division theyve owned for five years. A loss would have plummeted them into third place.The Texans (4-3) limped home still leading the middling AFC South, where every team has surrendered more points than its scored.We kept Brock out of the end zone and thats perfect, cornerback Aqib Talib said. Thats the goal every week. So, we got our job done this week.Osweiler managed just 131 yards on 22 of 41 passing.I looked up in the fourth quarter, before I think that last drive, and he had like 70 yards passing, Talib said. I just smiled on the inside. Thats what we wanted to do. We wanted Brock to come out here and struggle. He came out here and struggled.Denver shut down Osweiler without the usual sum of sacks they typically pile up on QBs.Osweiler was hit eight times but his only sack came when he mishandled a shotgun snap and fell on the football.The Broncos avoided their first three-game skid since 2011.It was huge, safety T.J. Ward said. Just to get that momentum, get that feeling back in here, that confidence that weve been running with and playing with. After the two losses you could kind of feel the aura of the team just kind of going down. We had great preparation this week, came in and played how we prepared.We back up.Other takeaways from the Broncos bounce-back and the Texans stumble:STREAK SNAPPED: Miller saw his sack streak snapped at eight games, counting the playoffs.There was a sack streak? I wasnt even paying attention to it. My bad, guys, Miller said. You know, Im all about wins. Ill take a win any day. Sacks are great. Thats what I do. Thats my job. I wasnt able to get it done today, but we got it the win.SPRY SIEMIAN: Although Siemians numbers were pedestrian -- 14 for 25 for 157 yards -- he threw a touchdown and had no interceptions or sacks. He moved around much better than he had 11 days earlier against San Diego in his return from a sprained left A.C. joint that clearly affected him in a 21-13 loss to the Chargers.DAVIS RETORT: After taking heat for getting exposed in single coverage by Atlantas speedy running backs and San Diegos tight ends, inside linebacker Todd Davis had four big tackles and a key fumble recovery that led to Denvers final TD.Darian Stewart punched the ball from running back Alfred Blues grasp and it popped up.I just saw the ball in the air. I feel like it took 12 seconds to get in my hands, Davis said. It gave us more momentum.FOSTER RETIREMENT: Former Texans star running back Arian Fosters retirement from the Dolphins -- announced during the Texans-Broncos game -- caught his former teammates off guard.It was pretty surprising, Houston linebacker Brian Cushing said. I think the world of him as a football player. Its not easy to see guys step away from the sport. I admired the way he played and I admired the physical talents. He was one of the most talented running backs possibly ever. Its sad but at the same time hes moving on in life.ROAD WOES: Osweiler is still looking for his first road win with the Texans, who have lost by 27 at New England and 18 at Minnesota and now Denver.Weve got to figure out how to win on the road, thats it, Wilfork said.BLANKET COVERAGE: Big-play receivers DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller V were held to a combined nine catches for 58 yards by Broncos cornerbacks Chris Harris Jr. and Talib. The longest catch was for 13 yards by Fuller.Theyre a great defense. We didnt accomplish what we wanted to accomplish -- plain and simple, Hopkins said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapletonCheap Bengals Jerseys China .

Jordan Willis Jersey .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch. Ireland captain Rory Best insists big one-off performances, that are not backed up, are no longer good enough for Joe Schmidts side on the eve of their rematch with New Zealand.Ireland ended their 111-year wait for a maiden victory over the All Blacks with the 40-29 win in Chicago on November 5, and are now primed for a furious backlash in Dublin on Saturday.Best knows full well the anger the back-to-back world champions will throw into their Dublin revenge mission - and has challenged his side to scale new heights in performance to pull off another victory.This week well need a performance thats up there with the best weve ever produced in an Ireland shirt, said Best, who will win his 99th Test cap this weekend.Its about us being consistent with our performance levels, thats the most important element.

Retallick haas recovered from concussion while Whitelock has finally beaten ankle trouble, to allow the All Blacks to restore one of the games most potent double acts.ddddddddddddBest accepts that Ireland must raise their set-piece work even higher than in Chicago in order to counter the influence of New Zealands all-new second row pairing.They are going to be hurting a little bit and they will come after us there, in the set-piece, said Best. We looked back on Chicago and we were fairly hard on the defensive elements in our performance.(Defence coach) Andy Farrell expects us to go out and deliver. Hes focused on our systems and how we stop these tries. For us we look
