NFL notes: Broncos unanimous choice in Pro32 rankings; Seahawks second

It’s unanimous for Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos, even after their shakiest performance of the season.

Denver received all 12 first-place votes for the first time in the AP Pro32 rankings released Tuesday.

The Broncos (6-0) struggled with winless Jacksonville until scoring the last two touchdowns in a 35-19 victory Sunday.

Manning matched his season low with two TD passes against the Jaguars but still has a record 22 through six games heading into Sunday night’s return to Indianapolis, where Andrew Luck is in charge of the Colts’ offense now.

“Coming to Peyton’s Place should bring out the best in Mr. Manning,” wrote Ira Kaufman of the Tampa Tribune.

No. 2 Seattle (5-1) and third-ranked Kansas City (6-0) are separated by just two points. Both teams moved up one spot.

The Seahawks won their 11th straight at home, 20-13 over Tennessee.

“They keep winning and overcoming injuries in the offensive line,” wrote Rick Gosselin of The Dallas Morning News. “Their defense and run game will keep them in every game.”

The Chiefs had just 216 yards of offense in a 24-7 win over Oakland but intercepted Terrelle Pryor three times and had 10 sacks to give them 31 for the season.

New England jumped from seventh to fourth.

Charges considered

A state’s attorney in Sioux Falls, S.D., said he will review the autopsy and other reports before seeking any new charges against 27-year-old Joseph Robert Patterson.

Police identified the boy as Tyrese Robert Ruffin, who died Friday after being hospitalized with severe head injuries.
