NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Denver Broncos already faced the NFLs toughest stretch in their bid to reach the playoffs and defend their Super Bowl title.Their path just got much, much tougher.The Broncos lost 13-10 Sunday to the one team left on their schedule without 10 wins already. Instead, the Tennessee Titans finished off a big victory that kept them tied with Houston atop the AFC South.Now the Broncos (8-5) are two back in the mighty AFC West with three games remaining -- and in a crowded field for a wild-card berth.From the outside looking in, a lot of people are going to say it doesnt look good, Denver coach Gary Kubiak said. Ive been part of a hell of a lot worse and come out of it. Were going to keep battling. Im a battler. Those guys in the locker room are battlers. We fought until the end, but we didnt play good enough to win.Trevor Siemian returned from a sprained left foot that kept him out of Denvers 20-10 win at Jacksonville a week ago. Siemian threw for 334 yards and a touchdown, and the Broncos came up with two sacks. But Tennessee jumped to a 13-0 lead by running over the Broncos in the first half, making Von Miller do his damage with a team-high seven tackles but no sacks.The Broncos are stuck in third in the AFC West behind Kansas City and Oakland, both at 10-3.Making up that ground wont be easy, not with what the Broncos are facing.First, Denver hosts New England (10-2). Then theres a visit to Kansas City, which beat Denver 30-27 in overtime on Nov. 27, on Christmas night. Then Oakland comes to Denver on Jan. 1 to wrap up the regular season, already having beaten the Broncos 30-20 on Nov. 6.I mean the schedules nasty, but we can win those games, Denver linebacker DeMarcus Ware said. I feel like everybody has to be on the same accord and have that mentality of do or die. Thats what we were talking about in the meeting (after the game), so thats the mentality everybodys taking.Denver also isnt in great position for a wild card with Miami and Pittsburgh both at 8-5, though Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill injured his knee Sunday. Baltimore is 7-5 with a game Monday night at New England.The Broncos will need more on offense despite Demaryius Thomas catching 10 passes for 126 yards and Emmanuel Sanders adding 100 yards and a touchdown catch.Justin Forsett, picked up off waivers Monday, got the first carry of the game for Denver against Tennessee and ran for 9 e yards. He was stripped by Titans safety Rashad Johnson at the end of the run, setting up the first of two field goals by Ryan Succop. A.J. Derby also fumbled, ending Denvers final drive.Denver needed the second completed pass by a punter in team history on fourth down to keep one drive alive.The Broncos also couldnt stop the Titans and DeMarco Murray from running the ball all over them in the first half. The Titans had 138 yards rushing on 26 carries. Denver did a better job against the NFLs third-best rushing offense in the second half, holding Tennessee to 253 yards in total for the game.It wasnt enough after falling behind 13-0.We had our chances down the stretch and we didnt make the plays, but the start sure as heck didnt help us, Siemian said.Sanders said the Broncos simply have to forget and move on to New England.Thats all we can do, Sanders said. On this loss, it is what it is. We have to move on.Safety T.J. Ward says the Broncos have to keep charging.You cant sit back and sulk and feel sorry for yourselves, man, Ward said. We got to pick it up and get ready for New England next weekend.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL.---Follow Teresa M.

AMES, Iowa -- Iowa States offense has been very solid for stretches this season, and its defense has improved since last season.The problem is that the Cyclones cant get both clicking at the same time and that inconsistency helped knock them out of the Top 25.Iowa State (6-3) was left out of Mondays rankings, snapping a run of 61 straight weeks in the poll, after dropping three of its last four. The Cyclones are coming off one of their ugliest games in years, falling to Iowa 78-64 on the road last week.Iowa State will face instate rival Drake (1-8) on Saturday as part of a doubleheader in Des Moines.This team will be fine. I mean, I know were living off the Iowa game, Prohm said. This team has to play a certain way all the time, and we didnt do that in stretches in the Iowa game.Prohms way includes strong ball movement.For a team with a backcourt led by preseason All-American point guard Monte Morris, the Cyclones have too often failed to make the extra pass that leads to a better shot.A poor assist-to-basket ratio has symbolized Iowa States lack of ball movement in its last two losses. The Cyclones had just five assists in an overtime loss to No. 25 Cincinnati on Dec. 1 and just nine against the Hawkeyes, who entered play with a losing record.Prohm said the key to fixing Iowa States offense is for it to pick up the pace and cut down on what he called freelancing.First and foremost, weve got to start playing in transition. Weve got to get some easy baskets by playing in transition and pushing the tempo, Prohm said. When we run our offense and we execute, we get good shots.The Cyclones have also struggled because Naz Mitrou-Long just isnt shooting very welll.dddddddddddd.Mitrou-Long, who missed most of last season because of lingering issues with his surgically-repaired hips, is shooting just 39 percent from the floor and just 26.7 percent on 3s -- two years after ranking second in the Big 12 in 3s per game. Morris said hes confident that Mitrou-Long will eventually shoot his way out of his recent funk.Its not about how you start. Its how you finish, Mitrou-Long said. Ive put in too much work. These guys put in too much work. Weve beaten ourselves. Me and Monte talk about it every day. If it has to be us against the world, I like our chances.For a program whose expectations have soared in recent seasons, three losses out of four can feel like an epidemic.But things arent as bad as they might seem for the Cyclones.Iowa State rallied from 20 down and was within a Monte Morris 3 at the buzzer from beating No. 8 Gonzaga on Nov. 27. If Mitrou-Longs 3 at the regulation buzzer gone down against Cincinnati, the Cyclones would have won that game as well.Iowa States defense has also been better than its offense, and teams that defend well typically have a chance on the road once league play comes around.But for the Cyclones to get back on track, theyll need the loss at Iowa to be their tipping point.Its a bright future and a bright road down the line. Its tough right now and it might be hard to see for (the media). But there is definitely going to be a change, and its definitely going to get back to normal around here, Morris said.---More college basketball at www.collegebasketball.ap.org ' ' '
