  By Steve Peoples, Associated Press

  Game plan
  When the Broncos run
  Denver’s offense goes how its  running game goes for most games. Running backs Devontae Booker and Kapri Bibbs are the catalysts to spark a wounded offense, but it’ll be the offensive line’s responsibility to create holes for them. Moving the chains and getting into third-and-short situations would be a good start against the NFL’s 23rd-ranked run defense. New Orleans is middle of the pack in stopping the run, but will make that its pri

  I’ve lived here long enough to know that a lot can change in a week’s time, so saying Denver will break an all-time record in a headline is a pretty bold move.

  By Jason Keidel
  Whenever an NFL game is labeled a Super Bowl rematch, it’s often a reach, a hyperbolic way to get butts in the seats and eyes on the flatscreen.
  Especially in a league as transient as the NFL, which always lives up to its haunting acronym, ‘Not For Long,’ where there’s a turnstile planted at every position except quarterback and head coach.
  But Sunday night’s game, between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks lives up to the hype and handle
