Broncos end 4-game skid with 26-6 win over Giants

Four weeks after getting ripped for taunting opponents during warmups, Denver coach Josh McDaniels was caught on TV cursing at his bumbling Broncos. This time, he was the object of an apology from the NFL Network instead of league-wide criticism for jawing with San Diego's linebackers. Oh, and the Broncos finally won a game again, beating the New York Giants 26-6 on Thursday night.
