    Broncos stop losing streak at four with win vs. Giants

    Josh McDaniels is an emotional coach who stocked his roster with passionate players.

    All of them were on full display on Thanksgiving night in the Denver Broncos' R-rated 26-6 victory over the New York Giants.

    The NFL Network joined the fray by accidentally airing a clip of McDaniels cursing at his players after they committed three false starts and dropped a pass in a five-play sequence that really got his blood boiling.

    "No -- not our coach!" tight end Tony Scheffler retorted in mock surprise.

    While the Broncos (7-4) still aren't effective enough in the red zone and draw too many yellow flags for McDaniels' taste , their month of misery is over.

    Kyle Orton drove them on six scoring drives, Matt Prater kicked four field goals and Dawkins led a ferocious defense 48 hours after calling a players-only meeting that obviously struck a chord.

    Elvis Dumervil dumped Eli Manning twice, extending his NFL-leading sack total to 14, and his second one resulted in a fourth-quarter fumble that sealed Denver's first win since Oct. 19.

    Hosting their first Thanksgiving game since 1963 in the AFL, the Broncos returned to the physical style of play that marked their 6-0 start and ditched the sieve that was their defense during their four-game skid.
