win over SMU last week. Cannon went streakin

Foxboro, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - On the scoreboard as well as the stat sheet, Tom Brady got the best of Peyton Manning once again. With Brady tossing four touchdown passes and his New England teammates coming up with two pivotal interceptions of Manning, the Patriots continued their midseason roll with a 43-21 blowout of the Denver Broncos in matchup of AFC powerhouses. This highly anticipated showdown between last seasons conference title game participants turned out to be not much of a contest at all, thanks to Bradys precision passing and a number of miscues from the reigning AFC champion Broncos. In addition to Mannings two picks that were both converted into New England touchdowns, Denver (6-2) committed 10 penalties, gave up an 84-yard punt return to Julian Edelman and was stopped four times on fourth down to have a four-game win streak come to an end. Those errors were most costly during a second quarter in which the Patriots put up 24 unanswered points to build a commanding 27-7 halftime lead. Brady, now 11-5 all-time in head-to-head matchups with Manning, did his part by completing 33-of-53 attempts for 333 yards with one interception. Rob Gronkowski caught nine passes for 105 yards and one of Bradys scoring strikes, with Edelman adding nine receptions totaling 89 yards with a touchdown along with his huge punt return. New England (7-2) has averaged 40.2 points in ripping off five straight victories since a 41-14 loss at Kansas City in Week 4. Manning did put up 438 passing yards and two touchdowns on a 34-of-57 completion rate, but endured a mostly frustrating afternoon as the Patriots dominated the final three quarters. Emmanuel Sanders finished with 151 yards on 10 catches and Ronnie Hillman scored a pair of touchdowns for Denver. Demaryius Thomas compiled 127 yards on seven grabs in the loss.

"He just knows how to get open," Russell said. "I just threw it up and he went and got it." Russell threw for 438 yards and five touchdowns while playing only the first half, three of those scores to Cannon in the first quarter, as the 10th-ranked Bears overwhelmed FCS team Northwestern State 70-6 on Saturday night. The Bears (2-0) came through just fine without senior quarterback Bryce Petty and several injured top receivers. They had 720 total yards and won their 12th straight home game, and have scored at least 69 points six times in that streak. Coach Art Briles had said Petty, the reigning Big 12 offensive player of the year, wouldnt play unless he was 100 per cent healthy after cracking two small bones in his back. He took a hit on his first series in the home season opener six nights earlier. Petty didnt even dress out against NSU, and now the Bears have another short week to prepare for Friday nights game at Buffalo. "Hes eager to get back out there," Briles said after the game. "Once again, well make sure hes healthy. That little flame (to play), I think turned into a pretty big fire." Northwestern State (0-2) got only a pair of field goals by Chris Moore (25 and 28 yards) and lost its 17th game in a row to an FBS team since 2005. Russell completed 16 of 25 passes for the most yards passing in a single half in school history, and third-most in a game, as Baylor built a 49-3 lead. He had only 427 yards in his seven games as a freshman last season, mostly in the second half of blowout victories Petty started, and threw for 121 yards in the second half of the 45-0 win over SMU last week. Cannon went streaking past the secondary for early TD catches of 50, 81 and 42 yards. He finished with six catches for 223 yards, the second-most in school history even without playing after halftime. "Ive watched a lot of receivers, seen a bunch over 30--something years in coaching," said Briles, recalling his impressions after watching Cannon play a high school game last fall.dddddddddddd. "I came back and said thats the best guy Ive ever seen as a high school receiver, no doubt. Hes good. Hes different." The Bears were also without Antwan Goodley (quad) and Levi Norwood (wrist), their top two receivers from last season who also got hurt in the opener, while fellow senior receiver Clay Fuller is still recovering from a broken collarbone. In a 71-second span just before halftime, Jay Lee had a 61-yard TD catch and freshman Davion Hall had a 57-yard score. Freshman running back Johnny Jefferson ran 20 times for 107 yards. His 2-yard TD in the third quarter capped an 11-play, 49-yard drive in which he ran on every play. Silas Nacita ran 14 times for 104 yards with two fourth-quarter TDs. The start of the game was delayed 16 minutes after a storm system with lightning and heavy rain rolled through the area before players took the field for warmups. Once the game started, Baylor led 14-0 in less than 5 minutes. Russell hit Cannon for the 50-yarder, then ran 3 yards for a score after Xavien Howards second interception of the season for Baylor, an acrobatic pick along the sideline. "They got to our secondary a little bit. Youve got to give them credit," NSU coach Jay Thomas said. "They got off to a quick start. We could never get the field flipped." Instead of his usual No. 32 jersey, running back Shock Linwood wore the No. 5 of injured teammate Goodley on the receivers 23rd birthday and did a nice early impression of a receiver. Linwoods 24-yard catch to midfield came a play before the first Bears touchdown. He caught another pass for 29 yards on Baylors second offensive possession, and had a 2-yard TD run before halftime. Baylor wont play again in its new $266 million riverfront campus stadium for more than a month. The Bears have three consecutive road games and an open date before playing at home Oct. 11 against TC ' ' '
