Mustard canceled three job interviews with school districts in Omaha, Neb., on Thursday and re-signed with the Denver...

Two-way player surprised by all the attention (AP)
Spencer "Leatherhead" Larsen didn't realize he was going to be making history or even creating such a buzz by starting for the Denver Broncos at middle linebacker and fullback last weekend. "It was cool. I was real excited about it. I didn't think it was going to be this big of a deal, though," Larsen said, still aglow from his two-way duty in Denver's 24-20 win at Atlanta on Sunday.

Broncos Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)
Mike Shanahan and his coaching staff are pushing the right buttons for the Denver Broncos this season.
A few weeks ago, the Broncos were in a downward spiral, having lost four of five with injuries piling up and many problems on both sides of the ball. After a couple of tough road wins, the Broncos are back in control of the AFC West as they head into a divisional battle against Oakland on Sunday. The Broncos have used a lot of young players and had to shuttle in many backups because of injuries, but the coaching staff has gotten them all ready to contribute. "You've got to have good players and good coaches to get those players ready to go," receiver Brandon Stokley said. The Broncos have had seven rookies start this season and many other key players are...

John Lynch retires after 15 years in NFL (AP)
No more bone-jarring tackles for John Lynch. The hard-hitting, nine-time Pro Bowl safety retired Monday, saying it was time to begin a new phase of life after 11 seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and four more with the Denver Broncos. He felt so strongly about the relationships he built with both clubs that he decided against stepping down in the colors of either team.

Broncos rally for 24-20 victory over Atlanta (AP)
The Denver Broncos have come up with all sorts of ways to deal with their injuries, from starting a player on both sides of the line to relying on a guy with plenty of baggage.

Jay Cutler threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Daniel Graham with 5 1/2 minutes remaining, the Denver defense held off Matt Ryan's last-gasp drive and the gritty Broncos rallied for a 24-20 victory...

Like old times: Elam welcomes Broncos to Atlanta (AP)Before every game, Jason Elam envisions himself lining up for a game-winning field goal. That scenario played out plenty of times with the Denver Broncos. Come Sunday, he'll imagine beating the team where he established himself as one of the best clutch kickers in NFL history. Nothing personal. It's just that Elam now kicks for the Atlanta Falcons, his new team after 15 years in the Mile High City.

Broncos' once mighty backfield slowed by injuries (AP)So much for the notion that you could plug anybody into Mike Shanahan's system and he would rush for 1,000 yards. Injuries and inconsistency have quashed that theory. The Broncos rank 18th in the NFL in rushing, have just one 100-yard rusher in their last 12 games, and they're well on their way to a second straight season without a 1,000-yard runner, something that happened just once in Shanahan's...

Bell returns to Broncos with no baggage (AP)Forget Rudi Johnson's swiped luggage. In Mike Shanahan's eyes, Tatum Bell carries no baggage. "I judge Tatum by what he's done here.

Different gloves, times for Carlos and Smith (AP) The men who famously raised their black gloves for racial equality might have been offended. Instead, Tommie Smith and John Carlos were pleased. Pleased because they believe Brandon Marshall's heart was in the right place. Pleased because 40 years after Mexico City there's a new statement a new generation can make that they once would never have dreamed possible.
