DENVER -- Brandon McManus was wide left and now the defending Super Bowl champs are on the outside looking in on the AFC playoff race, too.The Kansas City Chiefs capitalized on short field position following McManus missed 62-yard attempt to drive down and win it 30-27 on Cairo Santos 34-yarder that clanked off the left upright and over the crossbar in the final second of overtime Sunday night.That left the Chiefs (8-3) a game behind Oakland (9-2) in the AFC West while the Broncos (7-4) slipped behind the Dolphins (7-4) for the current final playoff spot.In pregame remarks on the NBC broadcast, DeMarcus Ware called this a must-win game for us. And this right here will put us over the top, put us to the next level.Instead, the defending champs slipped behind a six-pack of teams, including division leaders Houston and Baltimore, which both have worse records than Denver at 6-5.Winners of six straight games, Miami has the Broncos beat on the conference tiebreaker as it stands now.We just got to get into the playoffs, cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. I feel like if we get in the playoffs, we can be scary for anybody.That task just got a whole lot trickier for the Broncos, who hit the road for the next two games, at Jacksonville and Tennessee, before returning home for a game against New England. They wrap up against the Chiefs and Raiders.The Broncos have won the AFC West each of the last five years but theyve already lost to every team in the division.KUBIAKS TOUGH NIGHT: Not only did he pick what turned out to be the wrong move -- punt, go for it or try the field goal -- on fourth-and-10 from the Chiefs 34 with just over a minute remaining -- but Broncos coach Gary Kubiak also got whistled for getting in the way of an official running down the sideline.That took 15 yards off Emmanuel Sanders 64-yard catch. But the Broncos bailed out their coach two plays later when Trevor Siemian hit Sanders for a 35-yard touchdown.They couldnt bail him out after McManus missed what would have been the longest game-winning overtime field goal in NFL history.BREAKDOWNS: The Broncos special teams had a rough night as they allowed an 86-yard kick return for a score by Tyreek Hill, saw Jordan Norwood muff a punt and were called for an illegal formation on a field goal attempt, which led to a Kansas City touchdown.All this after special teams came up big at New Orleans two weeks earlier by blocking an extra point and returning it for the first game-winning defensive 2-point play in NFL history.Norwood recovered his first muff in the first half but it set up Kansas Citys safety. His second one came at midfield after Denvers defense had recorded two sacks and forced Dustin Colquitt to punt out of his own end zone.Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib shoved Norwood in the back as he was trudging off the field following the turnover.This loss right here was on everybody -- offensively, defensively, special teams, coaching, Sanders said. Everybody didnt do their job tonight. Its a hard loss, but weve got to bounce back.REMEMBERING DAD: Chiefs long snapper James Winchester had a key fumble recovery in the fourth quarter in his second game since his father was slain. Michael Winchester was killed by a disgruntled former Southwest Airlines employee outside an Oklahoma City airport earlier this month.Im just thankful to be a part of this team and just come out and contribute, Winchester said.SEEING YELLOW: The Broncos had 15 penalties for 97 yards, including three on Kansas Citys game-tying drive to send the game into overtime.We have to do a better job with that, Von Miller said. We always do a good job with that, but it was just a tough patch right there. ... Well be better.TRIPLE THREAT: Rookie Tyreek Hills trio of touchdowns came on a return, a rush and a reception. Gale Sayers was the last player to accomplish the feat, way back in 1965 at Minnesota.I am full of speed, said Hill, who showed it off during his 86-yard return on a free kick following a safety that gave Kansas City a 9-3 halftime lead despite gaining just 49 yards of offense.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Sports Writer Pat Graham contributed.---Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Cheap Jaguars Hoodies Jerseys .com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins placed forward James Neal on injured reserve Tuesday.

Kennington of St. Thomas, Ont., won the JuliaWine.com 100 in NASCAR Canadian Tire Series presented by Mobil 1 action on Sunday at the 44th Grand Prix de Trois-Rivieres after holding off road-course specialists Andrew Ranger and Jacques Villeneuve in a harried green-white-checkered finish in front of a crowd in excess of 30,000. After starting eighth, Kennington passed former Formula One and IZOD IndyCar Series champion Villeneuve on Lap 38 before the fifth caution flag of the day flew on Lap 40 to set up the exciting finish. On the final restart, Ranger, who had gotten around Villeneuve just after Kennington made his pass, tried in every turn of the 11-turn, 1.53-mile street circuit to rattle Kennington, but was forced to settle for the runner-up position. "We just had a great race car today," said Kennington. "The crew did a great job at getting cool air to the brakes. At the end, we still had good braking. I saved as much as I could. We got a little lucky that (Villeneuve) slipped up a little and we were able to get by." With three series road-course wins to his credit Kennington has shown the ability to win anywhere at any time, but outdueling the likes of Ranger and Villeneuve had Kennington thinking about the significance. "To beat those two guys on a road course is right up there in my career," said Kennington. "They are two of the best in the world in my estimation. Its really special. With (Ranger) starting in the rear and getting to the front, we might have been in trouble if he started on the pole." Ranger, a four-time Trois-Rivieres winner, started from the rear of the field due to missing Saturdays qualifying session after competing in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International. Despite not getting the win, Ranger was pleased with the results. "From where we started, Im really happy with second place," said Ranger – owner of 14 series road-course victories. "The car was pretty used up at the end. I had to fight for everything in passing all those cars. I tried everything to pass (Villeneuve). He raced me totally clean and like a champion. We went through (four) turns side-by-side and we never touched." The ffinal restart gave Ranger one last opportunity at the win.dddddddddddd "The cautions at the end really helped me a lot on those last laps I was finally able to get the speed I wanted to in the corners, but (Kennington) didnt make any mistakes," he said. Villeneuve, who led a race-high 29 laps, finished third for his best finish in three career Canadian Tire Series starts. He finished fourth in this event in 2009. "I was taking it easy in the beginning, but I saw a chance to get around (Tagliani) and I took it," said the accomplished driver. "I misjudged a corner while passing a (lapped car) and Kennington was able to get around me. I thought I had a chance at the end to get it back, but (Kennington) clipped the wall and bounced into me which set us back." Villeneuve appreciated the opportunity to compete in the legendary event. "These are fun cars to drive and this is a fun little track," said the former world champion driver and fan favorite. "This event is important to Quebec and Canada. It has provided drivers, including me, the stage to further their careers." It was the first win of the season for Kennington, who set a single-season series record with seven victories a year ago and the 19th career win for the driver of the No. 17 Castrol Edge/Mahindra Tractors Dodge which tops the series all-time list. Jason Hathaway finished fourth followed by IndyCar Series regular Alex Tagliani in fifth. Tagliani set a new track record in Saturdays qualifying session for his fourth series career pole win. He led the first eight laps of the race before getting tangled up with Louis-Philippe Dumoulin in a battle for the lead. Martin Roy, Alex Labbe, Scott Steckly, Jeff Lapcevich and Trevor Seibert completed the top ten. The race was slowed due to caution five times for 16 laps. The five cautions equaled the series high at the track that was established in the 2007 race. In the championship standings, Steckly saw his lead shrink to just four points over Kennington. Hathaway holds down the third spot, just 14 points behind the leader while Dumoulin dropped from second to fourth, but is still within striking distance at 16 tallies back with just four races remaining.
