ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos head into their bye week at 7-3 and feeling good about themselves and their chances to make another Super Bowl run.They can thank their safeties.Darian Stewart had three takeaways and T.J. Ward got one in the Broncos 25-23 win at New Orleans on Sunday that was secured by rookies Justin Simmons and Will Parks tag-teaming the first defensive game-winning 2-point play in league history.Simmons blocked the extra point after Drew Brees 32-yard TD toss to Brandin Cooks with 1:22 remaining and Parks returned it 84 yards, somehow staying inbounds as he darted down the Saints sideline.I knew Id blocked it because my right arm was throbbing for a little bit, Simmons said Monday. Everyone was running to the left. So, I look at Will was already like 20 yards in front of everybody, running off to the sideline. I was just praying he got into the end zone.It was the kind of play that can kick-start careers and salvage a season.This was a huge victory for us, especially coming off a bad loss last week to the Raiders, DeMarcus Ware said.And now we go into the bye and get some of our banged-up guys back and we should be ready to go the rest of the season.Ware has been playing about 28 snaps a game since returning from a broken forearm and the plan is to double that down the stretch. Coach Gary Kubiak said Monday he is optimistic Aqib Talib (back) and Derek Wolfe (elbow) will be back in the lineup when the Broncos face Kansas City (7-2) on Nov. 27 in prime time.Also, quarterback Trevor Siemian, who has been dealing with a painful left shoulder ever since spraining the A.C. joint in Week 4, got another cortisone injection after getting hit 20 times by the Saints.The rest will do him some good, Kubiak said.The Broncos avoided their first stretch of four losses in six games since Kyle Orton was their quarterback to start the 2011 season.I probably shouldnt get too ahead of myself, but I feel good about (Talib) and Derek being ready to go, Kubiak said. Aqib actually worked out today. I watched him from upstairs when he worked out with the trainers on the field. Everything looks good. Well probably hold Derek until we get to about next Wednesday and then cut him loose. It sure looks like were going to get closer to full strength. Thats an encouraging thing.Kubiak also feels good about the progression of Simmons, a third-rounder from Boston College, and Parks, a sixth-rounder from Arizona, and the way theyre augmenting Denvers special teams and the Broncos No Fly Zone defense.Theyre both playing well. We have confidence in them, Kubiak said. T.J. and Stew have played big time. Theyve played about 98 to 100 percent of the snaps for this team. Those guys will have to take a little bit off of them. But theyre both doing a good job.Parks said he didnt realize he was close to going out of bounds -- his white cleats blended in with the sideline and there was no clear angle showing he stepped out, so the call stood.I think that made it real interesting, Parks said.Simmons had never in his life blocked a kick, but special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis liked his 40-inch vertical at the NFL Combine and taught him how to leap long snappers.The play is called Leaper, and when DeCamillis called it, Simmons said he did a double-take even though he had been using all the previous kicks to get a feel for the Saints cadence so he could time his jump just right.Simmons was still in awe of the play, saying, I woke up this morning and I was like `Damn, that was wild. Im getting texts still and everything like that, but Im just happy about the win.Both Parks and Simmons knew joining the Super Bowl champs and their stellar secondary meant theyd have to make their mark mostly on special teams at first and pitch in where they could on the leagues top-ranked pass defense.Obviously, everyone in our secondary is at the elite stage and theyve all made Pro Bowls, theyve almost done everything you can do in this league, Simmons said. So, coming in youve got to show them that youre all ball.Pitching in means the world to both, Parks said.Me and Justin, we got the vets smiling on the plane back and thats what its all about, Parks said. Theyve made me happy plenty of times. So, why not reward them back and take some pressure off their hands?I want to do that every week now. I want to do it in practice, in the film room, in the game.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Demarcus Walker Jersey . -- Anaheim Ducks captain and leading scorer Ryan Getzlaf has been scratched from Sunday nights game against the Vancouver Canucks because of an upper-body injury.

Anderson Jersey .Y. - Jerome Samson scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the St. AUSTIN, Texas -- The sexual assault scandal that took down Baylor Universitys president and revered football coach also found a problem with a bedrock of the schools faith-based education: a student conduct code banning alcohol, drugs and premarital sex that may have driven some victims into silence.Investigators with the Pepper Hamilton law firm who dug into Baylors response to sexual assault claims determined the schools rigid approach to drugs, alcohol and sex and perceived judgmental responses to victims who reported being raped created barriers to reporting assaults. Some women faced the prospect of their family being notified.A number of victims were told that if they made a report of rape, their parents would be informed of the details of where they were and what they were doing, said Chad Dunn, a Houston attorney who represents six women who have sued Baylor under the anonymous identification of Jane Doe.The nations largest Baptist university is a notably conservative place in one of the most conservative states in the country. Dancing on campus was banned until 1996. Fornication, adultery and homosexual acts were included in an official list of misconduct until May 2015, and the current policy stresses that physical sexual intimacy is to be expressed in the context of marital fidelity.Students can still be expelled for using drugs or alcohol, though late last year it included amnesty for minor offenses. Pepper Hamilton investigators urged the school to expand amnesty to sexual conduct code violations; the federal government told all U.S. universities in 2011 that conduct policies may have a chilling effect on reporting sexual assault.Amnesty is a no-brainer, said Shan Wu, a former federal sex crimes prosecutor who is now a criminal defense attorney specializing in student legal issues. Unfortunately, these codes force students to engage in life-or-death calculations, added Wu, who isnt involved in the Baylor case.Baylor officials say they are already making changes. Interim President David Garland, who took over in late May for ousted president and chancellor Ken Starr, said the university considered all of the firms recommendations as mandates.Expectations for our students are outlined in university conduct policies and are a reflection of our faith-based mission, school spokeswoman Tonya Lewis said, noting that the amnesty provisions for drug and alcohol use should assure sexual assault victims that Baylor will focus on their allegations. Baylor has repeatedly declined to comment specific cases.Student safety andd support for survivors of all types of interpersonal violence are paramount to the mission of Baylor University, Lewis said.ddddddddddddBut such offers of amnesty are too late for women who previously reported assaults and told Pepper Hamilton investigators about hurdles they faced in dealing with Baylor officials. Eight former Baylor students have brought three federal lawsuits against the school, outlining rape allegations as far back as 2005 that they say were either ignored or discouraged from reporting.Dunn would not allow his clients to be interviewed by the AP to protect their identity, but relayed questions to them.Two women said they were pushed to accept alcohol conduct violations when they reported their assaults, or feared sexual conduct violations if they did.One woman said her case began when she called police to report a physical assault on another woman at an off-campus party. Police demanded to know if she was underage and had been drinking, then arrested and reported her to the school office that investigates conduct code violations, she said. She told Baylor officials her drinking was a result of being raped a month earlier and detailed what happened in person and in a letter.She received an alcohol code violation and told to do 25 hours community service, and when she tried to appeal, the woman said Baylor officials urged her to drop it. The school never pursued her rape claim.I was told by many Baylor staff that they couldnt do anything for me because my assault was off campus, yet they had no problem punishing me for my off-campus drinking, the woman said. Schools are bound by federal law to investigate on- and off-campus sex assault allegations.The threat of a sexual conduct violation was a common issue that Baylor did nothing to dispel, another woman said.Even when the code of conduct wasnt an overt issue, some women who reported sexual assault said they were grilled about their behavior.Stephanie Mundhenk, a former Baylor student who The Associated Press is identifying because she has publicly blogged about Baylors investigation into her 2015 rape allegations, told the AP that she was never threatened by conduct code violations but was repeatedly questioned about her sexual history.I was alarmed, said Mundhenk, who is not among those suing Baylor. It was biased and it was unfair. They were trying to gauge if I was a loose woman. They were looking to attack my reputation.
