DENVER -- Brock Osweiler took one last dig at Denvers fans after Houstons 27-9 loss to the Broncos. He figured they would be a little bit louder with the boos.Denvers defenders ruined Osweilers homecoming by hurrying, hitting and harassing their ex-quarterback Monday night, even if his ears werent ringing from the crowd noise.Osweiler famously declared upon signing his $72 million, four-year deal that he chose Houston over Denver because the Texans gave him the better chance to succeed.Its not all about money in life, said Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr., who recovered one of Osweilers three fumbles. He had a great situation, great team here, better receivers to me. So, I think he already knows he made the wrong choice.Not so, said Osweiler.I never live my life looking in the rearview mirror, Osweiler said after a night in which his head was on a constant swivel with the likes of Von Miller, Shane Ray and Derek Wolfe coming after him.Coach Gary Kubiak returned to the sideline following his second health scare in three years, and he liked what he saw as the Broncos (5-2) snapped a two-game skid in sending Osweiler and the rest of the overwhelmed Texans home at 4-3.C.J. Anderson and Devontae Booker energized Denvers sputtering ground game, both running for a touchdown. Anderson gained 107 yards on 16 carries and Booker had 83 on 17 hand-offs.But the big story was Trevor Siemian, Peyton Mannings surprise successor, outplaying Osweiler, who was groomed to be Denvers next QB for the last four years.Osweiler left for bigger numbers in Texas -- both in his bank account and his stat sheet -- but he spent the whole game quickly getting rid of the ball, constantly overthrowing DeAndre Hopkins in double coverage and otherwise running for his life from Miller & Co.Miller wore a REVENGE hoodie to his postgame interview, but he said it was a shoutout to Drake, who wore Millers No. 58 jersey at a recent concert in Colorado.Me and Brock, were good. I love the guy. I wish him the best, Miller said.Osweiler was just 22 for 41 for 131 yards with no TDs and no interceptions. Siemian was 14 of 25 for 157 yards, a TD and no interceptions.Osweiler also lost a fumble at his own 25-yard line. It was scooped up by Harris on the first play of the fourth quarter and led to Brandon McManus chip-shot field goal that made it 24-9.Of the dozen passes thrown his way, Hopkins caught just five of them, covering 36 yards, and no other Texan gained more. And Houston was limited to Nick Novaks field goals from 43, 43 and 39 yards.Anderson scored on a 7-yard run and Siemian hit Demaryius Thomas from 4 yards out as the Broncos took a 14-6 halftime lead.Novaks 29-yarder made it 14-9, but Darian Stewart punched the ball from running back Alfred Blues grasp and linebacker Todd Davis plucked it out of the air . That led to Bookers 1-yard TD run .Kubiak, who suffered a mini-stroke while coaching the Texans in 2013, missed Denvers last game after suffering a complex migraine, which can mimic a stroke.Like Osweiler, this was his first game against his former team, and cornerback Aqib Talib gave him a game ball afterward.Coaches get game balls when players play good, I can tell you that, Kubiak said.Osweiler, who skipped out on the Broncos White House trip and ring ceremony, embraced Siemian, Kubiak and several other Broncos after the game.It was really great to see some familiar faces and give those guys a hug, he said.STREAK BREAKER: Denvers dazzling defense is a real dawdler , having allowed scores on five of six opening drives coming into the game. That didnt stop them from deferring when they won the toss. The Texans went three and out on their first two possessions. It was a big emphasis for us, Miller said.OH NO, OKUNG: Broncos left tackle Russell Okung cleared concussion protocol to make the start. But he was rusty a week after his pair of penalties resulted in a nullified touchdown and a safety in a 21-13 loss at San Diego. This time, he was whistled for a pair of holds that negated a nifty first-down run by Booker and a 28-yard grab by Thomas.INJURIES : Texans right tackle Derek Newton was carted off the field with what looked like serious injuries to both knees in the first half. He crumpled to the grass while blocking Miller. Newton was dropping back to pass block midway through the first quarter when his left knee buckled first and then his right knee gave way. For Denver, linebackers Brandon Marshall (leg) and Dekoda Watson (head) left in the second half.---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/arniestapleton Oakland Raiders Azeem Victor Jersey . Artturi Lehkonen, Joni Nikko and Ville Leskinen had the other goals for Finland (1-0) while Juuse Saros stopped 28 shots. Tim Robin Johnsgard had the lone goal for Norway (0-2).

The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead. The Czechs pulled two back in the ninth, but Shusters team of third Jeff Isaacson, second Jared Zezel and lead John Landsteiner ended with another point to secure the last Olympic berth on offer.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Ben Simmons showed why he was the No. 1 overall pick by the downtrodden Philadelphia 76ers during his first two games in the Utah Jazz Summer League. It was also clear the former LSU star has plenty of room to grow.Simmons enters the NBA with elite-level vision and passing ability already. The 6-foot-10, 240-pound Simmons also has the ball-handling skills of a point guard, which gives him the ability to grab a rebound, push the ball and make plays in transition. There were several highlight-worthy passes during the week, but his best play may have come Thursday against the Jazz.Simmons grabbed a rebound and immediately took off. He spun around a defender before reaching half court, then crossed over between two more Jazz players as he dribbled into the front court. Simmons finished the play with a bullet pass between another pair of defenders for a Richaun Holmes layup attempt. Few players with that size have that combination of athleticism with that skill-set.He finds great joy in getting guys shots, 76ers coach Brett Brown said. He just finds awesome joy and enthusiasm in sharing the basketball and that becomes contagious.Comparisons to Magic Johnson and LeBron James are unfair, but the passing ability is reminiscent. Teammates had to learn to play with Johnson and James -- to be ready to catch and finish passes despite a seemingly closed passing lane. The 76ers will have to do the same.Theyre finding ways to figure out how to play with him, 76ers Summer League coach Billy Lange said.Simmons had six points, seven rebounds and six assists in an 86-75 victory over the Jazz on Thursday. In a 102-94 loss to the Celtics on Monday, he had 10 points, eight rebounds and five assists before leaving the game with crampss in both calves.dddddddddddd Several assists were left on the table between the two games as teammates failed to capitalize.Simmons also improved defensively from the first to second game.I let the game come to me, Simmons said Thursday night. Obviously, I threw a lot of assists. That was what they were giving me and I took it.The biggest knock on Simmons coming out of college was his lack of a consistent jump shot. The reason for the criticism was apparent in his first two games.Simmons made just four of 17 attempts in Salt Lake City and defenders will play off until he proves he can make a midrange jumper. At one point, Jazz center Tibor Pleiss guarded Simmons and the Jazz bench could be heard yelling for Pleiss to back up. Simmons then pulled up and missed a wide-open jump shot.Simmons can also get lost on the offensive end without the ball in his hands. He tended to drift and watch the play when not in control of the offense.Anticipation is high for Saturday when the 76ers face the Los Angeles Lakers and No. 2 overall pick Brandon Ingram in the Las Vegas phase of the Summer League. Some believed Ingrams well-developed scoring ability and 3-point range merited the No. 1 pick.Simmons said he doesnt compare himself to other rookies and is focused on players like James and Kevin Durant instead. But he understands the attention that comes with being a heralded rookie.I know a lot of people will be coming for me because I got that No. 1 spot, Simmons said. Its always been like that for me since high school. Everyone has always wanted to go at me and have that shot. Its fun. I love getting the challenge.
