NEW ORLEANS -- Denvers Justin Simmons used a perfectly timed leap over the offensive line to block an extra-point kick that would have given New Orleans a late lead, Will Parks ran it back 84 yards for a defensive 2-point conversion, and the Broncos pulled out a wild 25-23 victory over the Saints on Sunday.The decisive play came while the Superdome crowd was still celebrating Brandin Cooks twisting, 32-yard touchdown catch between two defenders. That put New Orleans in position to take the lead with 1:28 left. Simmons block of Wil Lutzs kick was scooped up by Parks, who nearly stepped out of bounds as he raced down the left sideline.It was the first such play to provide the winning points in an NFL game.The Broncos then recovered an onside kick and ran out the clock.Safety Darian Stewart intercepted Drew Brees twice and recovered a fumble for the Broncos (7-3), while Trevor Siemian overcame two interceptions by passing for touchdowns to Jordan Taylor and Demaryius Thomas. Siemian finished with 258 yards passing and completed other clutch throws as Denver converted 11 of 19 third downs.The Broncos league-leading pass defense got the best of its matchup with New Orleans top-rated passing offense, thanks in large part to turnovers -- three of which came on passes intended for Saints rookie sensation Michael Thomas. Thomas fumbled twice after catches, and one of Stewarts interceptions came on a pass Bradley Roby deflected out of Thomas grasp.Still, Brees managed to complete 21 of 29 passes for 303 yards and three touchdowns, with the first two scoring passes going to Willie Snead.Brees final TD pass capped a six-play, 75-yard drive that began with 2:50 left and no timeouts. It put the Saints (4-5), who won four of their previous five games, in position to climb above .500 for the first time this season following an 0-3 start. It was not to be.MOMENTUM SHIFT: The Broncos controlled the first 29 minutes. Stewart intercepted Brees twice -- joining the currently injured Aqib Talib as the only Broncos with multiple interceptions in one game. The second turnover set up Brandon McManus 50-yard field goal, which gave the Broncos a 10-0 lead.Late in the second quarter, Denver was across midfield and looking for one more score when Sterling Moore anticipated Siemians short throw toward the left flat and intercepted it. Brees marched New Orleans 50 yards in less than 29 seconds, setting up Lutzs short field goal to make it 10-3 at halftime. It was the beginning of 17 straight Saints points.AGGRESSIVE FRONT: The Saints defense entered the game with 11 sacks through their first eight games, or 1 1/2 more than Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller had by himself. But New Orleans created more pressure up front and sacked Siemian six times. Rookie defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins, DT Nick Fairley, end Cameron Jordan, safety Kenny Vaccaro and linebackers Dannell Ellerbe and Craig Robertson all had sacks. Meanwhile, Denvers defense sacked Brees once to increase its season total to 29. Linebacker Shaq Barrett got the lone sack.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFLNike Shoes Black Friday Online .

The Dodgers have not confirmed the potential deal, which would lock up one of their key free agents this offseason. The Dodgers continue to negotiate with third baseman Justin Turner and closer Kenley Jansen.Hill, who will turn 37 in March, would be the Dodgers projected No. 2 starter behind staff ace Clayton Kershaw. He won three of his six regular-season starts with the team and posted a 1.83 ERA. He then delivered a 3.46 ERA in three postseason starts, winning Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the Chicago Cubs.When acquired by the Dodgers from the As, along with outfielder Josh Reddick, Hill was on the disabled list because of a blister issue on the middle finger of his left hand. He then developed another blister issue while rehabbing the initial problem.ddddddddddddHe eventually made his Dodgers debut on Aug. 24, and was not scored upon during his first three starts. In fact, on Sept. 10 at Miami, Hill pitched seven perfect innings before he was removed from the game as a precaution after throwing 89 pitches. The Marlins broke up the perfect game and no-hitter an inning later against reliever Joe Blanton.It was the second time during the 2016 season that manager Dave Roberts removed his pitcher during a no-hitter. He also removed Ross Stripling from his major league debut after 7 1/3 no-hit innings at San Francisco, with the bullpen again unable to finish off the feat.Hill is 38-28 over his 12-year major league career, posting a 4.10 ERA in 221 career games. He was used mostly as a starter by the Cubs after making his major league debut in 2005 and before becoming primarily a reliever in 2010.After being cut loose by the Washington Nationals in spring training of 2015, Hill went to the independent Long Island Ducks, where he returned to a starting role. He eventually ended the 2015 season by making four starts with the Boston Red Sox, before signing with the As prior to the 2016 season. ' ' '
