CINCINNATI - When Andy Dalton is on the sideline Monday night, hell make sure to steal a few glances at the field to check out his counterpart.Who doesnt want to watch Peyton Manning do his thing in prime time?Yeah, growing up I was watching Peyton play, so its fun to be able to go up against these guys, Dalton said. You definitely want to watch what theyre doing, see how they play, because hes a guy that has been one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game.The quarterbacks will get a lot of the attention — Manning for his perfect career mark against Cincinnati, Dalton for his penchant to melt down in big games — when the Broncos play the Bengals on Monday night. But itll be the running backs who are on the spot in a game between teams trying to set themselves up for deep playoff runs.If the Broncos (11-3) and Bengals (9-4-1) get their way, itll be C.J. Anderson and Jeremy Hill getting most of the attention.Both teams have started putting more emphasis on the run as the playoffs approach. The Broncos have already won the AFC West and would clinch a first-round bye with a victory at Paul Brown Stadium. The Bengals would earn a fourth straight trip to the playoffs with a win.The formula to win a championship this time of the season is teams that can run the ball and play good defence, Broncos nose tackle Terrance Knighton said.Yeah, they all say that. In this case — for this game in particular — its pertinent.Manning is 8-0 against the Bengals, but hes not in the best of health. Manning played with the flu and strained his right thigh during a 22-10 win at San Diego last Sunday. He was limited in practice during the week.Well see how the rest of the week goes and when (Monday) comes around, well see how he feels, offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase said on Friday.So it would be beneficial to get another big game out of Anderson, who led all NFL players with 709 total yards in November and had back-to-back games rushing for 167 and 168 yards. Hes in good shape heading into the Monday night game.Bodys feeling fine, Im great, Anderson said. Its that time of the year where teams want to run the ball and teams want to play defence and we can still throw the ball, which is great because we have No. 18 back there.Dalton is healthy, but the Bengals are looking to make him more of a role player in their third prime-time game of the season. Daltons worst moments have come in the playoffs (0-3) and prime time (2-6). The Bengals got blown out by New England and Cleveland in their two prime-time games this season.Hill leads all NFL rookies with 877 yards rushing. He ran for 148 yards during a 30-0 win at Cleveland last week, making him the first rookie since Tampa Bays Cadillac Williams in 2005 to have three games of rushing for more than 140 yards.The second-round pick from LSU likes to celebrate touchdowns distinctively. After a score in Cleveland on Sunday, he tried to jump into the Dawg Pound but got pushed away by two fans.I like to have a lot of intensity, man, Hill said. Its just bringing a lot of passion and intensity to the game and just running hard. Try to (energize) my teammates and get those guys going. I like to have fun out there, as well.The Bengals ran for a season-high 244 yards in Cleveland, an indication that their running game is finally rounding into form.Its been a long process, but I think were getting there, offensive co-ordinator Hue Jackson said. Do I think were there yet? No. You guys will know when were there because everybody will feel it and see it. I saw a glimpse of it a week ago and weve just got to keep at it.___AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Stapleton in Denver contributed to this report.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFLHarold Landry Jersey .

Jurrell Casey Jersey . -- Damian Lillard couldnt believe when he got a clear look at the rim.VANCOUVER -- Toronto FC head coach Ryan Nelsen was surprised to see star striker Jermain Defoe left off Englands 23-man World Cup squad, but he knows that snub could pay dividends in the long run for their Major League Soccer outfit. Defoe failed to make England manager Roy Hodgsons team announced Monday, instead being named to a seven-man standby list that will only be used in the event of injuries in the leadup to the tournament in Brazil. The 31-year-old Defoe is healthy, scoring goals in MLS and could well take out his frustration at being left out by Hodgson on opponents in North America. "You never like to take benefit from other peoples agony, if you know what I mean," Nelsen said Tuesday. "If Jermain stays with us, hes probably going to be motivated to prove a lot of people wrong, which I suppose is nice for us." That could come as early as Wednesday night when Toronto FC visits the Vancouver Whitecaps in the second leg of the Amway Canadian Championship semifinal. Toronto holds a 2-1 lead after a victory at home in the first leg last week. Even though its a boost for his team, Nelsen also couldnt hide his disappointment. "Obviously devastated for Jermain. Its surprising," he said. "I dont know how Roy Hodgson picks his team. Its a surprising decision -- gutted for the man. I know Ive played against all those guys and I know with 10, 15 minutes to go in a World Cup, I know who Id want with the ball at his feet in front of the net." Defoe said he was stunned not to be heading to Brazil after figuring into all but two of Hodgsons matchday squads prior to this announcement. "I was shocked, like you can imagine," Defoe said after training at B.C. Place Stadium. "Especially when youve been involved in every squad, and then for some reason youre not included. But (I) always remain positive and just continue doing what Im doing. Ive come over here and done exactly what I used to do at home and thats play well and score goals." A veteran of the 2010 World Cup who has scored 19 times in 55 games for his country, Defoe added that he didnt think his move from the English Premier League to MLS had anything to do with Hodgsons decision. "Ive been here two months. Does it really change much? I dont think so," he said. "I mentioned before the squad waas announced that the manager, he knows most of the players, even before he was manager.dddddddddddd He knows the players. I think the fact of me being here two months, that shouldnt play a factor at all." England is bringing four strikers to the World Cup, including Wayne Rooney, Daniel Sturridge, Danny Welbeck and Rickie Lambert. Defoe said that despite this disappointment, he will remain available for England selection. "Im not going to retire (from the national team) just because someone doesnt put me in a squad," he said. "I would never do that. I would never turn my back on my country because I still feel like Ive got a lot to offer. The games Ive played and just being involved with England over the years, its been great. "I think my record speaks for itself and Ill just try and continue to work hard and enjoy my football." Defoe will remain with Toronto FC and only join up with England if called upon. He added that Hodgson told him: "He wants to go with the young kids. Thats it." Toronto midfielder Michael Bradley, who was named to the U.S. 30-man provisional roster and will leave to meet up with the American camp after Wednesdays game in Vancouver, said he was disappointed for his club teammate. "He and I have developed a really good relationship since weve come (to Toronto), both on the field and off the field," said Bradley, who along with Defoe, joined Toronto FC in a big-money off-season deal. "Ive seen first-hand what a great player he is, what a great person he is and I know how much it meant to him, so on a personal level I know were all really disappointed for him. "Hes taken it exactly how youd expect -- committed and ready to keep going, keep fighting, keep scoring goals here and do as much as he can to help us win in Toronto." With about a month to go before the World Cup, Defoe said he will continue to work hard in MLS and see what happens. "Its still a long way to go. You never know what happens, people get injured, but at the same time if it doesnt happen, then it doesnt happen," he said. "I wish the team good luck, all the young players that are in the squad, I wish them good luck because Ive had that experience, been at a World Cup, and its the best feeling ever. Its special." 20:21ET 13-05-14 Cheap Barcelona JerseysCheap Real Madrid Jerseys AuthenticCheap Bayern Munich JerseysCheap Dortmund JerseysCheap USA JerseysCheap USWNT JerseysFrance Soccer JerseysSoccer Mexico JerseysCheap Germany JerseysCheap Belgium Soccer JerseysBrazil Jerseys From ChinaGermany Jerseys From ChinaAuthentic Soccer Mexico JerseysCheap Portugal Soccer JerseysWholesale Spain JerseysCheap France Football JerseysCheap Germany Jerseys AuthenticCheap Mexico Jerseys AuthenticWholesale Colombia JerseysCheap Belgium Football JerseysWholesale Argentina JerseysCheap USA Soccer Jerseys Chinacheap uswnt jersey authenticAuthentic AC Milan JerseysDiscount Arsenal JerseysWholesale A.S.
