Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Peyton Manning threw four touchdown passes, three to Demaryius Thomas and two during a fourth-quarter rally that lifted the Denver Broncos to a hard-earned 39-36 win over the Miami Dolphins in a key AFC clash. The Broncos trailed a gritty Dolphins team for most of the game and were down 28-17 after three quarters, then erupted for 22 consecutive points in the fourth to regain sole possession of first place in the AFC West and bounce back from last weeks startling 22-7 loss at St. Louis. Manning hit Thomas and Wes Welker for touchdowns during the stretch, while C.J. Anderson had a go-ahead touchdown run with 5:01 left to highlight a career-high 167-yard, 27-carry performance. You have to earn them all. We definitely earned a victory against a good football team today, said Manning. Thomas amassed 10 catches totaling 87 yards and Emmanuel Sanders snared nine Manning passes for 125 yards in the Broncos eighth straight home victory. Manning finished a sharp 28-of-35 for 257 yards for Denver (8-3). Ryan Tannehill threw for three touchdowns and ran for another to put Miami (6-5) in position for the upset before Manning engineered his 41st career fourth-quarter comeback. The young quarterback completed 26-of-36 throws for 228 yards with a costly late interception that helped seal the outcome. As a competitor, you dont like to see it, Tannehill said. We didnt score enough points in the second half. Jarvis Landry hauled in two of Tannehills scoring strikes and recorded seven catches for 50 yards. Tannehill put together an outstanding first half to lead the Dolphins to a 21-17 lead at the break, then hit Landry on a slant route from five yards out late in the third quarter to put Denver in an 11-point hole entering the final period. A Denver offense that was held scoreless in the third then get back on track, generating three consecutive touchdown drives to forge ahead for the first time on the day. Andersons 20-yard run on 4th-and-2 kept alive a series that ended with back- to-back catches from Thomas, the last a 5-yard score on a well-executed play fake from Manning with just over 14 minutes left. Manning and Sanders teamed up on the ensuing 2-point try to bring the Broncos within 28-25. Denvers defense followed by coming up with a stop before Manning went back to work. Three more completions to Sanders got the Broncos inside the Miami 20, and Anderson powered up the middle for a 10-yard touchdown run shortly afterward to put the reigning AFC champs ahead with 5:01 remaining. Landry had a Tannehill pass bounce off his hands on the subsequent possession, with Denvers T.J. Ward grabbing the deflection and racing 37 yards to the Dolphins eight. The pivotal turnover led to Welkers 2-yard touchdown grab that staked the Broncos to a 39-28 advantage with 3:13 to go. Aided by a unnecessary roughness penalty on Denvers Malik Jackson that tacked 15 yards onto Landrys chain-moving catch on 4th-and-2, the Dolphins inched closer with a 9-play, 84-yard drive capped by Tannehills 1-yard, over-the- middle delivery to Landry with 1:34 left to play. When Lamar Miller was able to just get across on the 2-point attempt, Miami still had life after trimming the deficit to 39-36. Anderson corralled Caleb Sturgis onside kick, however, and the Broncos chewed off the remaining time to come away with the tough win. An action-packed first half featured plenty of explosive plays from both sides, with the Dolphins grabbing a quick lead by putting together a 7-play, 80-yard opening possession that Daniel Thomas capped with a 3-yard touchdown run just over 3 1/2 minutes in. Denver countered with a methodical 12-play series culminating in Brandon McManus 38-yard field goal, but Miami found the end zone again following a trade of punts to increase its advantage. After getting the ball back in Broncos territory after a Denver three-and- out, the Dolphins moved inside the opposing 5-yard line on the strength of two strong runs from Miller and Mike Wallaces 10-yard catch. Tannehill capped the drive with a well-executed 1-yard run on a bootleg fake to give the Dolphins a 14-3 lead early in the second quarter. Manning answered by engineering an 11-play, 77-yard sequence in which he converted three third-down situations with completions -- two to Sanders and the last a 5-yard fingertip grab by Demaryius Thomas in the end zone on a crossing route. Tannehill brought Miami right back down the field, however, making good on all six of his throws on a 10-play, 87-yard jaunt he concluded with a perfectly thrown ball that Wallace hauled in with a diving attempt for a 21-10 Dolphins edge. Wallaces 10-yard score came with 1:54 left in the half, more than enough time for Manning to get the Broncos back on the board. The five-time league MVP hit a wide-open Sanders for a 35-yard gain on 3rd-and-20, then connected again with Demaryius Thomas for a 14-yard touchdown with 12 seconds on the clock to cut Denvers deficit to 21-17. The Broncos couldnt make any progress in the third quarter, however. McManus hit the upright on a 33-yard field goal attempt on the initial drive of the second half, and a fumbled punt by Isaiah Burse that the Dolphins recovered at the Denver 12 led to Landrys first touchdown catch.

Kim came from a shot back on the last hole to beat Australian great Karrie Webb by one shot on Sunday and win the Evian Championship, becoming the third youngest major winner at 19 years, 2 months. The South Korean trailed the 39-year-old Webb heading into the 18th but turned the tables with a birdie from 12 feet out. Webb then missed a chance to force a playoff when a difficult attempt for par from the same distance drifted left of the hole. I feel very happy, like a bird, Kim said through a translator. I want to fly in the sky. Kim led Webb by one shot overnight and they both posted 3-under rounds of 68 in perfect conditions, with no clouds or wind to disrupt them. She finished on 11-under 273 overall, having shot the lowest ever round in a major with a 61 on Thursday. Webb, meanwhile, was looking to win her eighth career major and first since Kraft Nabisco in 2006. I believe in fate a little bit, and I wasnt meant to win, Webb said. I hit a lot of good putts this week. Probably the one on the last was the poorest I hit all week. Only Morgan Pressel and Lexi Thompson -- both from the U.S. -- have won majors at a younger age than Kim, who is studying physical education in Seoul. She seemed to take it all in her stride. When Webbs putt rolled wide, Kim removed her glasses slowly and then walked up to give Webb a small hug. Her caddie, Gordon Rowan, said Kim didnt know shed won at first. I dont think she was aware of the real situation of the scores, Rowan said. I said Youve won. She said No, no, I havent, which was quite sweet. Kim and Rowan were paired randomly the last time she played Evian, tying for fourth in 2012 -- the final year before Evian became the fifth major. Its a partnership that hass flourished since.dddddddddddd My player at the time hadnt qualified, so I just offered my services, Rowan recalled. She was a young amateur, they were looking for a caddie. Webb finished ahead of three other South Koreans. Ha-Na Jang and Mi-Jung Hur were tied for third at 9 under, with Na-Yeon Choi in fifth another shot back. Defending champion Suzann Pettersen of Norway was one behind her. Choi birdied 12 and 14, but the U.S. Womens Open champion from 2012 dropped back when she bogeyed the 16th, and Webb was level with Kim with three to play. The shot of the day belonged to Japans Mika Miyazato: a hole in one on the 16th. Meanwhile, Michelle Wie, who pulled out during the first round because of a recurrence of her right index finger injury, won the inaugural Rolex Annika Major award. Named after retired Swedish great Annika Sorenstam, it honours the player with the best overall record in the five majors. Wie won the U.S. Womens Open and finished second at the Kraft Nabisco. Webb looked certain to clinch her 42nd LPGA title with two to play. Kims approach on the 16th almost rolled into the water, leaving her a difficult uphill par putt from the fringe, which she missed as Webb took the lead with a par from 4 feet. Webb missed a long birdie chance on the 17th and was way short, before a par from six feet. But that composure left her on the last, when her second shot went too long. About 30 feet from the pin, Webb chose to chip and almost made an improbable birdie as the ball rolled just past the hole, but then carried on downhill for about 12 feet. I dont know what hit me actually, Webb said. Just probably a rush of adrenaline. Kim punched the air after making her birdie. I was very nervous, she said It didnt show. The shot is definitely very mature, Webb said. I left the foot off the pedal a little bit. But she still had to make it. ' ' '
