DENVER (AP) Peyton Manning threw three of his four TD passes to Demaryius Thomas and C.J. Anderson ran for 167 yards and the go-ahead score in the Denver Broncos' 39-36 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
Anderson's 6-yard run with 5:01 left gave the Broncos (8-3) their first lead of the game at 32-28. T.J. Ward's 37-yard interception return of Ryan Tannehill's pass set up Wes Welker's insurance TD catch.
The Broncos needed it after Tannehill drove the Dolphins (6-5) on another scoring drive, hitting Jarvis Landry from a yard out with 1:34 left. Lamar Miller's 2-point dive made it a 3-point game.
The Dolphins' onside kick was recovered by - who else? - Anderson, who sealed the game with a 26-yard run.

'It would take a miracle' for Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald to play today
Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald didn't practice at all this week, and he is unlikely to play this afternoon in Seattle. Specifically, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says that "it would take a miracle" for Fitzgerald to be active. Fitz suffered a fairly serious MCL sprain in his knee last week.
This news hurts the Cardinals more than it hurts fantasy owners. In four games started by Drew Stanton this season, Fitzgerald is averaging 3.5 receptions and 43.8 yards with no scores. He would have been a low-end WR3 if healthy for this game against the Seahawks. With Michael Floyd expected to see a lot of Richard Sherman, John Brown, who has shown a good connection with Stanton, is my pick to be the Cardinals' leading receiver today. Still, no one here is a confident start in standard 10- or 12-team leagues.
