ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- One game, Denver special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis is getting a game ball from coach Gary Kubiak in a jubilant locker room after a blocked extra point led to the first defensive 2-point game-winner in NFL history.The next, hes wincing as the Broncos muff two punts, allow an 86-yard touchdown return and line up wrong on a field goal, giving the Chiefs a do-over they turn into a touchdown, a four-point gaffe in a gut-wrenching three-point loss.Its the worst game Ive ever been a part of special teams-wise, DeCamillis said Thursday in his first public comments since the Broncos 30-27 overtime loss to Kansas City on Sunday night.It was tough to go through. Its uncharacteristic because the one thing that we pride ourselves on since we have been here is our coverage teams and we just didnt play well, DeCamillis said. Everybody had a turn, including me. When you play like that you obviously dont do a good job. We have to get that picked up really quick.DeCamillis said he didnt sleep one bit. It was a rough night. My kids were all in and my family was all there. It was a pitiful night. Weve never had a game like that here and I dont want to have another one like that again.The Broncos (7-4) face another good special teams unit Sunday at Jacksonville (2-9), but Kubiak said special teams didnt get special attention this week.He said there were too many other problems to fix, like a defense that couldnt protect an eight-point lead in the final seconds and an offense that couldnt protect quarterback Trevor Siemian, who sprained his left foot on a sack and hasnt practiced all week, putting his availability against the Jaguars in doubt.Plenty of players on both sides thought Denver had escaped all its slips on special teams with a tie when Cairo Santos 34-yard field goal as overtime expired clanked off the left upright.Instead of ricocheting, however, the ball sliced across, whizzing just inside the opposite post .You talk about lucky bounces. Ive never seen one like that, DeCamillis said. I heard it clang from over on the sideline. He must have gone to Mass that morning and said his Hail Marys and everything. In 29 years, Ive never seen one go through like that. Ive seen them clang on the inside of the upright and go in that way, but not sideways.It was an oddly fitting end to a frustrating night for Denvers special teams.The game-winner came a minute after Brandon McManus had implored Kubiak to let him try a 62-yard field goal only to kick the ground and watch it come up short, giving the Chiefs a short field to go win it themselves.DeCamillis hinted there could be a change in the works at punt returner after Jordan Norwoods pair of muffs led to a turnover at midfield and a safety to go along with a shove in the back from an angry Aqib Talib.Were working guys as we speak, DeCamillis said. Thats unacceptable. We cant put the ball on the ground. We have to maintain field possession for our team and it was not a good night. We have to get that corrected quickly.The Broncos are prepared to go with replacement long snapper Thomas Gafford again because Casey Kreiters strained calf hasnt allowed him to return to practice all week.DeCamillis said his first message to his players was that he was taking as much blame as they were.If you play like that, its something that you missed during the week, he said. I wanted them to know that first. Then, we went through the corrections. It wasnt a great week; I can tell you that. We have to come back strong and we have a heck of a challenge in front of us this week.After watching Tyreek Hill become the first rookie since Gale Sayers in 1965 to reach the end zone on a rush, a reception and a return, DeCamillis said he had warned his players that Hill had world class speed ... as in Usain Bolt and Michael Johnson.Jacksonvilles returners arent quite that, but we have to play faster than what we did the other night, DeCamillis said. If you watch, theres a T-shirt that we have that says `speed, speed, speed. They heard that from me. We didnt play fast enough the other night. We have to get back to that this weekend.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapletonCheap Air Max 90 Mens . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well.

Toronto is in second place, four games back after a 10-2 victory at Seattle.After sweeping four games from the Yankees, Boston has won the first two of this pivotal four-game series.This was really huge, Bradley said. To get two wins right away is very vital for us. I think it will help us keep building on our momentum and finish strong.Trey Mancini homered in his major league debut for the Orioles, who are 1 1/2 games ahead of Detroit for the second AL wild card.The Red Sox are 11-3 in their last 14 games and a major league-best 13-5 in September.I think there is growing confidence in our clubhouse daily, manager John Farrell said. Weve responded to a number of challenges, whether its on the road or coming from behind to win ballgames in the division. Those are key. When you succeed in those, thats a snowball effect that takes place.To balance that out, no one is taking any of that for granted.The Red Sox led 2-1 in the seventh when Marco Hernandez and Mookie Betts singled off Kevin Gausman (8-11). One out later, Ortiz hit a 1-2 pitch far over the center-field wall.I still cant figure out how he can swing so hard on balls up and in and then cover a pitch down and away, but thats why hes the hitter he is, Orioles catcher Matt Wieters said.Ortiz guessed correctly that Gausman would throw a fastball.I had to shoot for something. Experience played out in that at-bat, the slugger said. I told myself, `Ive got to either shoot for a fastball or a splitter. But I know hes throwing his best fastball right now. So Im going to go for a fastball. And then he threw the fastball.Playing in his final season, Ortiz has 36 home runs and 121 RBI.dddddddddddd Big Papi has hit eight home runs against the Orioles this season -- including two in this series -- and 54 for his career.Betts also extended his run of success against Baltimore, going 3 for 5 and scoring twice. He is 16 for 31 at Camden Yards and has scored 16 runs in eight games.Eduardo Rodriguez (3-7) allowed two runs and four hits in 6 1/3 innings for Boston, his first win in 11 starts since July 16.Craig Kimbrel worked the ninth for his 28th save.After giving up four hits in eight scoreless innings last week at Boston, Gausman yielded five runs and 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings.Boston went up 1-0 in the third when Betts singled and scored on a grounder by Hanley Ramirez. Bradley hit his 26th homer in the fourth.Rodriguez retired his first 11 batters and held Baltimore without a hit until Mancini connected with two outs in the fifth. The rookie sprinted around the bases, taking about half the time Ortiz did during his home run trot in the seventh.UNFORGETTTABLE MOMENTThe Orioles were quick to turn the page after the defeat, but Mancini will never forget this night. He became the third Orioles player to homer in his first game, following Larry Haney in 1966 and Jonathan Schoop in 2013.It was a really special moment, something that Ive definitely been waiting for my whole life, the rookie said.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: Farrell gave 2B Dustin Pedroia (knee) the night off but expected him back in the lineup Wednesday.Orioles: LHP Wade Miley is expected to leave the team after Sundays game against Arizona to join his wife, who is expecting. Manager Buck Showalter said the pitcher might miss the Toronto series that begins Tuesday.UP NEXTRed Sox: Clay Buchholz (7-10, 5.20 ERA) looks to extend a three-game winning streak Wednesday night.
