ORTHY: Billy Horschel followed up a 67 on Thursday from LAM's blog

TAMPA, Fla. http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Marcus-Martin-Jersey/ . -- The Denver Broncos left town with an even better feeling about Paxton Lynchs potential.The rookie passed his first big test as the defending Super Bowl champions backup quarterback , filling in admirably for the injured Trevor Siemian in Sundays 27-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Lynch came off the bench to throw for 170 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions after Siemian injured his non-throwing shoulder in the first half.Its his left shoulder. I dont know anything else. We felt like we could have put him back in the game. Well go back and evaluate him again, coach Gary Kubiak sad.I liked the way Paxton was handling the team so we stuck with him, Kubiak added. I thought he handled himself well and made some big third downs for us. I really liked the way he avoided some bad plays.Siemian staked the Broncos to a 14-7 lead, turning a pair of interceptions by ex-Bucs cornerback Aqib Talib into TDs that got Denver rolling toward its NFL-best ninth consecutive victory.Denver (4-0) is unbeaten through four games for the second straight season and third time in four years.Theres so many things we could improve upon as a team, Kubiak said. Thats what Im excited about. Weve got some injuries we have to work through. But we keep stepping to the plate, playing hard, playing well.Lynch, who starred at Memphis after playing high school ball in nearby Deltona, Florida, felt fortunate to be able to do his part.It was definitely exciting to come back here and have a lot of family and friends here to see it happen, Lynch said. Im glad that they were here for it and Im also glad I got the opportunity. But to come in in that kind of circumstance, Trevor gets hurt, you never want that to happen.Kubiak and Siemian both thought the starter could have returned to the game if needed. Theyre also hopeful Siemian will be able to play next week at home against Atlanta.I think Im just going to take it one day at a time. But thats the plan, to be ready, Siemian said.I know Trevor is a tough guy, Lynch offered, and hell be ready to play.Tampa Bay (1-3) has lost three straight. Jameis Winston threw for a season-low 179 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions for the Bucs, who also fumbled once in the first half.Hes not regressing. You cant turn the ball over three times in a half. ... Youre not going to win games that way, Tampa Bay coach Dirk Koetter said.WEATHER DELAYFor the second straight week, play was suspended during the fourth quarter at Raymond James Stadium because of lightning. The Broncos and Bucs finished after a 1 hour, 26-minute delay, up from 69 minutes the previous week, when the Rams and Bucs also had to wait out a severe thunderstorm that also sent fans scurrying for cover.SACK ATTACKThe Broncos sacked Winston five times and also recorded 16 quarterback hits. DE Derek Wolfe had 2 + sacks and five hits. Was teasing with him in the locker room, Kubiak said. You waited an hour and a half to go back out there and get one more sack? He had a sack at the end of the game. Im proud of all our guys. LB Von Miller was credited with half a sack and has 5+ for the season.TURNOVER TIMEDenver has won 26 straight games when winning the turnover battle, the NFLs longest active streak. The Broncos forced three Sunday while not losing one. The run is the longest in team history. Those defensive guys help you out a lot, Lynch said. It feels good to have a defense like that playing behind you.RUNNING WOESWith RB Doug Martin sidelined for the second straight week, Tampa Bay averaged just 2.8 yards (72 yards, 26 attempts) rushing. Overall, the Bucs were outgained 307-215. Theres no magic solution, Bucs tackle Demar Dotson said. The only thing thats going to solve this is hard work and attention to detail, and more guys getting concentrated on their individual job.ANOTHER LOST SEASON?Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans, who had five receptions for 59 yards, feels there is still plenty of time to turn around Tampa Bays latest poor start. The Bucs have not made the playoffs since 2007. There is a lot of football left, he said. Were just trying to get back on track with a win against Carolina (next) Monday night.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Hats/ . -- Kyrie Irvings last-minute 3-pointer helped seal another victory for Cleveland -- and the Cavaliers longest winning streak since LeBron James left. http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Zane-Gonzalez-Jersey/ . LOUIS -- Alexander Steen scored a power-play goal with 59. http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Myles-Garrett-Jersey/ . -- Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Alrdridge were again the go-to duo for the Trail Blazers against the Kings. TROON, Scotland -- A look at the second round Friday in the British Open at Royal Troon Golf Club (all times EDT):LEADING: Phil Mickelson made his first two bogeys of the tournament but still shot a 2-under 69. He reached the midway point at 10-under 132.TRAILING: Henrik Stenson was one shot back after posting a 65, the best round of the day.LUCK OF THE DRAW: The morning starters caught a break with the weather, which turned especially nasty in the afternoon. The top 14 players on the leaderboard all came from the morning wave. Of the 20 players who broke par, only four started after lunchtime.MISSING THE CUT: Former Open champions Ernie Els and Louis Oosthuizen were among those missing the cut. Els could have made it to the weekend with a par at the final hole, but the Big Easy took bogey after driving it into a fairway bunker. Oosthuizen, who lost in a three-way playoff last year at St. Andrews and was No. 14 in the world, shot 83. He was the highest-ranked player to be sent home.GETTING THROUGH: Mickelson and Rickie Fowler both made the cut in a major for the first time this year.SHOT OF THE DAY: Mickelson nearly holed out his tee shot at the 123-yard eighth hole, knownn as the Postage Stamp. http://www.brownsrookiestore.com/Browns-Ricardo-Louis-Jersey/. . The ball rolled right up next to the cup, leaving Lefty with a tap-in birdie that was roughly the length of a postage stamp.KEY STATISTIC: Of the eight players who have shot 63 in the opening round of a major championship, Mickelson was only the third to break par in the second round.NOTEWORTHY: Billy Horschel followed up a 67 on Thursday with an 85, the highest score of the second round. The 18-shot differential was the biggest meltdown in Open history over the first two rounds.QUOTEWORTHY: Youve got to understand that some people get lucky, some people get unlucky. Youve got to take what you get and roll with it and try to do the best job you can. -- Jason Day, on the much tougher conditions that faced those teeing off in the afternoon.SATURDAY FORECAST: Mostly dry with wind gusts up to 20 mph.TELEVISION: Golf Channel (4-7 a.m.); NBC (7 a.m.-2:30 p.m.).FEATURED GROUPS: 10:20 a.m. -- Henrik Stenson, Phil Mickelson; 10:10 a.m. -- Keegan Bradley, Soren Kjeldsen; 9:10 a.m. -- Dustin Johnson, Francesco Molinari.
