    DENVER (Ticker) -- Three weeks after having their heart brokenon the Monday night stage by a big play, the Denver Broncosfigured turnabout was fair play.


    Jay Cutler threw for an efficient 200 yards and two touchdownsand reserve running back Andre Hall broke a long fourth-quarterscoring run to lead the Broncos to a 34-20 victory over theTennessee Titans on Monday night.


    After driving for a late field goal against the Green BayPackers to send the game into overtime on October 29 on MondayNight Football, Denver promptly lost the game on the first playof the extra period when Brett Favre hit Greg Jennings for an82-yard TD pass to send the Broncos to 19-13 defeat.

    All four of the Broncos' touchdowns in this contest came frommore than 40 yards away.


    On Denver's first possession of the game, Cutler capped asix-play, 80-yard drive with a 48-yard TD strike to BrandonStokley for a quick 7-0 lead. Following a three-and-out by theTitans, Glenn Martinez broke away from the pack on the ensuingpunt return and went 80 yards for Denver's first punt return fora score since 2003 to increase the bulge to 14-0.


    After the Titans closed the gap to 20-10 at intermission, Cutlernailed Brandon Marshall from 41 yards away to complete an80-yard drive to open the second half. Hall, who replacedrookie starter Selvin Young due to a sprained knee, accountedfor the final score when he broke through the left side of theline on his first carry of the game for a 62-yard TD - the firstscore of his career.


    Young returned to the game in the fourth quarter after Hallappeared to suffer an injury. Young finished with 74 yards anda touchdown.


    Cutler finished 16-of-21 for the Broncos (5-5), who forged afirst-place tie in the AFC East with the San Diego Chargers(5-5).


    The Titans (6-4), who have one of the better defenses in theleague, were playing without defensive end Albert Haynesworthwho was out with a hamstring injury. They gave up 344 totalyards to the Broncos who punted only three times in the entiregame, scoring on all but four possessions.


    Tennessee, which was allowing just 66 rushing yards througheight games this season, has surrendered an average of 157 yardsover the last two weeks without Haynesworth in the lineup inlosses to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Broncos, who rushed for148 yards.


    Vince Young went 26-for-41 for 305 yards with a TD and twointerceptions. It was Young's first career 300-yard passingperformance.
