DENVER -- Apparently itll take more than the Atlanta Falcons groundbreaking aerial performance against Carolina to impress the Denver Broncos No Fly Zone secondary.Matt Ryan and Julio Jones bring the leagues No. 1 offense to Denver for a showdown Sunday between the Falcons (3-1) and the unbeaten Broncos (4-0).A week ago, Ryan and Jones became the first duo in NFL history to post a 500-yard passing and 300-yard receiving performance in the same game.Ryan threw for a career-high 503 yards and four touchdowns against Carolina.Meh.Not as impressive as it sounds, Broncos safety T.J. Ward said. There were a lot of broken coverages and guys left wide open. They still did a good job fighting them, but it wasnt the game that I thought it was after watching it.Surely they were impressed by Jones becoming just the sixth receiver in NFL history to post a 300-yard game.Whatever.Just going against a young secondary, Broncos safety Darian Stewart said. They have big-play players and so we just have to go out there and play our technique and just play our game. They didnt do anything different, its just other guys were (using) bad technique and allowing the big plays.Broncos coach Gary Kubiak wont disparage the Falcons, noting Ryan is thriving in his second year of Kyle Shanahans scheme. He leads the league with 1,473 passing yards and a QB rating of 126.3.Those numbers are real, I know that, Kubiak said.So are these figures from the past three weeks against Denvers defense:-Andrew Luck came in off a 385-yard passing performance and was held to 197 yards.-Andy Dalton was coming off consecutive 366-yard showings and was limited to 206 yards.-And Jameis Winston was fresh off a 405-yard game when he managed just 179 yards.In the week before facing Denver, those three QBs combined for 1,156 yards, eight TDs, one interception and five sacks. Against Denver, they managed 584 yards and one TD with four interceptions and 14 sacks.Weve played a lot of good offenses, Denver defensive coordinator Wade Phillips said. But this one might be the best.Bring it on, said Ward.We lick our chops every week. This is another opportunity to go out there and prove ourselves and put another performance on film, Ward said. It doesnt matter who we get week-to-week. We want to do our best so it doesnt matter whos coming in here.The Falcons first trip to Denver since 2014 is dripping with other subplots:QB CONUNDRUM: Emmanuel Sanders doesnt care if its Trevor Siemian or rookie Paxton Lynch throwing passes his way Sunday. Lynch had an impressive NFL debut in relief last week after Siemian bruised his left (non-throwing) shoulder on a sack at Tampa.You dont want to put too much emphasis on the quarterback position, said Sanders, pointing out all the young QBs with early season successes. Its about team and its about chemistry. Thats what its about.MUSICAL ARMS: Denver has won six straight regular-season games with four different QBs: Peyton Manning, Brock Osweiler, Siemian and Lynch. The previous team to do that was the 1986 Bears (Doug Flutie, Steve Fuller, Jim McMahon and Mike Tomczak).A great defense always helps, running back C.J. Anderson said, and then the 10 guys on offense doing their job to make the quarterbacks job easier. People say its a quarterback-driven league, and all our quarterbacks have played well with their opportunity. If we continue to do our job the way we know we can do it, it makes their job that much easier.LINEBACKER LIMBO: The Falcons have a long list of injuries at linebacker. Sean Weatherspoon went on IR with an Achilles injury from Atlantas 48-33 win over the Panthers and rookie Deion Jones left the game with a calf injury. Weatherspoon started against Carolina with rookie DeVondre Campbell (ankle) out along with Paul Worrilow (groin). LaRoy Reynolds, Phillip Wheeler and recently added A.J. Hawk could be called upon Sunday.MILLERS PROPS: Von Miller says two Falcons were instrumental in his career: 36-year-old defensive end Dwight Freeney and defensive coordinator Richard Smith, his former position coach in Denver. Miller called Smith really a catalyst in getting me going. ... Some of the stuff that he taught me I still use to this day.He also uses the wicked spin move Freeney taught him one offseason.That was something I really wanted to do, something I really wanted in my arsenal, said Miller, the NFLs sack leader with 5+.COLEMAN STATUS: Falcons coach Dan Quinn said backup RB Tevin Colemans breakaway speed will be on display Sunday. There was some question over whether Coleman would sit this one out because he was born with sickle cell trait that could negatively affect him in Denvers mile-high altitude.Hes in great shape and cant wait to play, Quinn said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---AP Sports Writer Charles Odum contributed.

On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title. Using his superior athleticism, St-Pierre cruised to a five round, unanimous decision victory setting up a much-anticipated title defence against number one contender Johny Hendricks. In 2013, long before he made history, Australian motor racing champion Toby Price was battling the physical pain of three broken vertebrae in his neck and the emotional hammer blow of being told by doctors that he would never ride or motorcycle again after an horrific accident while racing in America.Less than three years later, he became the first non-European to win the prestigious Dakar Rally, an event Price describes as 14 days of self-inflicted pain and torture.Such a dramatic turnaround paints a picture of Prices resilience, passion and drive -- attributes that have combined to produce one of Australias most talented and unsung sporting heroes.Growing up in a motor-mad family in country New South Wales, it was only natural that Price began learning his trade at the tender age of two. By four he was winning races and the idea of a career in motorsport had turned from dream to reality.From a really young age I always looked up to Mick Doohan, so I had ambitions to go down the MotoGP route, Price tells ESPN. I loved the way Mick approached everything; hes an Aussie that had the world against him and he just wanted to prove everyone wrong and go out there and race.Being an Aussie myself, I really wanted to emulate him; but I started to grow too tall and too heavy and couldnt quite go in that direction, so thats when I decided to switch to off-road racing.While his fall-back option has paid enormous dividends, it has been far from plain sailing. Tragedy struck the Price family in 2011, when his disabled sister, Minnie, passed away at age 29 from a brain haemorrhage. The event rocked Price enormously.When we lost her, it hit him harder than anybody, their father, John, told the Daily Telegraph. They got on like a house on fire. Always laughing, always being cheeky with each other. He takes her along for the ride now, as his guardian angel.And then, of course, there have been the injuries.Price has been battered and bruised in his fearless pursuit of becoming the worlds best off-road racer, and with 27 broken bones he has experienced unthinkable levels of pain and terror.Hardly a day passes when the 29-year-old isnt on a motorcycle, but in April 2013 he appeared to have run out of luck.I thought it was all over, Price tells ESPN.Racing at the AMA Hare and Hound National Championships in Lucerne Valley, California, Price crashed and broke three vertebrae in his neck. Amazingly he avoided becoming a paraplegic, but he was forced to spend six months in rrehabilitation.ddddddddddddt definitely was a tough time because you know that not a lot of people bounce back from something like that. It hit me that it could have been the last time riding a bike and I had doctors in America telling me that Ill never ride or race a motorcycle ever again.Even through it all I still always had those ambitions of being one of the best riders on two wheels in the world, so I put my head down and worked hard to get back.But the risks pale into insignificance when weighing up the rewards, particularly those that come from the monumental Dakar Rally.Forget the Bathurst 1000, the Indianapolis 500 and the Monaco Grand Prix; this gruelling two-week motor race has rightly been labelled the toughest in the world. For Price, its the Holy Grail.The race sees almost 400 competitors from all over the globe congregating in South America for a hellish 9000 kilometre off-road journey. Riders and drivers must trek through multiple countries on gravel, sand and dirt while battling extreme heat if theyre to avoid being among the 40 percent of annual non-finishers.The first few days are pretty exciting, Price says. The event is pumping and everything is going in the right direction. But by the middle of the first week you go into shutdown mode and turn into a bit of a robot.Youre getting four, maybe five, hours of sleep a night and then youre back up trying to cover 500-1000km in a day. The amount of strain and stress and fatigue it puts on the body, theres no way to describe it. I lose around eight kilos in 14 days of racing, and Im not being shy on eating, either. That just shows how much of a strain it is on the body.In January this year, Price became the first non-European to win the prestigious event in any category; amazingly, it was just his second time competing.Now, approaching 30, Price continues to live his life -- and share with others -- one simple, yet resilient motto: Never give up.He hopes to inform others battling through adversity that dreams can still be achieved.The best lesson Ive ever learnt was to never give up. Hopefully my story kind of shows everyone that nothing is impossible and if you want things bad enough and youre willing to put the hard work and effort in, then you can achieve those things, he says.Toby Prices documentary Paying the Price premieres on Red Bull TV in December.
