n for the upset before Manning engineered his 41st career

MADRID, Spain -- Rafael Nadal and Marc Lopez sealed victory for Spain in its Davis Cup World Group playoff against Ukraine, beating Sergiy Stakhovsky and Denys Molchanov in the doubles for an unassailable 3-0 lead on Saturday. The Spaniards won 6-2, 6-7 (6), 6-3, 6-4 on the outdoor red clay at Caja Magica. After Nadal and Fernando Verdasco won their singles rubbers on Friday, captain Alex Corretja paired the world No. 2 with Lopez to try and prevent the tie from going to reverse singles on Sunday. Nadal, who won his 13th Grand Slam at the U.S. Open on Monday, still looked fresh despite the travel and playing two straight days. Nadal and Lopez broke the Ukrainian duos first two service games to set the tone as they extended Spains unbeaten run on clay to 27 consecutive ties. "We played at a good level," Nadal said. "In my case, I had a moment I felt tired but later we were able to recover. We achieved our goal and thats the important thing." This was the first time Nadal had played for Spain since December 2011, when he won the decisive point of the final against Argentina to earn Spain its fifth title. Nadals absence was due in part to a knee injury that sidelined him for seven months last season. "Rafas commitment to the team was critical and we have to be grateful for that," Corretja said.

The Broncos trailed a gritty Dolphins team for most of the game and were down 28-17 after three quarters, then erupted for 22 consecutive points in the fourth to regain sole possession of first place in the AFC West and bounce back from last weeks startling 22-7 loss at St. Louis. Manning hit Thomas and Wes Welker for touchdowns during the stretch, while C.J. Anderson had a go-ahead touchdown run with 5:01 left to highlight a career-high 167-yard, 27-carry performance. You have to earn them all. We definitely earned a victory against a good football team today, said Manning. Thomas amassed 10 catches totaling 87 yards and Emmanuel Sanders snared nine Manning passes for 125 yards in the Broncos eighth straight home victory. Manning finished a sharp 28-of-35 for 257 yards for Denver (8-3). Ryan Tannehill threw for three touchdowns and ran for another to put Miami (6-5) in position for the upset before Manning engineered his 41st career fourth-quarter comeback. The young quarterback completed 26-of-36 throws for 228 yards with a costly late interception that helped seal the outcome. As a competitor, you dont like to see it, Tannehill said. We didnt score enough points in the second half. Jarvis Landry hauled in two of Tannehills scoring strikes and recorded seven catches for 50 yards. Tannehill put together an outstanding first half to lead the Dolphins to a 21-17 lead at the break, then hit Landry on a slant route from five yards out late in the third quarter to put Denver in an 11-point hole entering the final period. A Denver offense that was held scoreless in the third then get back on track, generating three consecutive touchdown drives to forge ahead for the first time on the day. Andersons 20-yard run on 4th-and-2 kept alive a series that ended with back- to-back catches from Thomas, the last a 5-yard score on a well-executed play fake from Manning with just over 14 minutes left. Manning and Sanders teamed up on the ensuing 2-point try to bring the Broncos within 28-25. Denvers defense followed by coming up with a stop before Manning went back to work. Three more completions to Sanders got the Broncos inside the Miami 20, and Anderson powered up the middle for a 10-yard touchdown run shortly afterward to put the reigning AFC champs ahead with 5:01 remaining. Landry had a Tannehill pass bounce off his hands on the subsequent possession, with Denvers T.J. Ward grabbing the deflection and racing 37 yards to the Dolphins eight. The pivotal turnover led to Welkers 2-yard touchdown grab that staked the Broncos to a 39-28 advantage with 3:13 to go. Aided by a unnecessary roughness penalty on Denvers Malik Jackson that tacked 15 yards onto Landrys chain-moving catch on 4th-and-2, the Dolphins inched closer with a 9-play, 84-yard drive capped by Tannehhills 1-yard, over-the- middle delivery to Landry with 1:34 left to play.dddddddddddd When Lamar Miller was able to just get across on the 2-point attempt, Miami still had life after trimming the deficit to 39-36. Anderson corralled Caleb Sturgis onside kick, however, and the Broncos chewed off the remaining time to come away with the tough win. An action-packed first half featured plenty of explosive plays from both sides, with the Dolphins grabbing a quick lead by putting together a 7-play, 80-yard opening possession that Daniel Thomas capped with a 3-yard touchdown run just over 3 1/2 minutes in. Denver countered with a methodical 12-play series culminating in Brandon McManus 38-yard field goal, but Miami found the end zone again following a trade of punts to increase its advantage. After getting the ball back in Broncos territory after a Denver three-and- out, the Dolphins moved inside the opposing 5-yard line on the strength of two strong runs from Miller and Mike Wallaces 10-yard catch. Tannehill capped the drive with a well-executed 1-yard run on a bootleg fake to give the Dolphins a 14-3 lead early in the second quarter. Manning answered by engineering an 11-play, 77-yard sequence in which he converted three third-down situations with completions -- two to Sanders and the last a 5-yard fingertip grab by Demaryius Thomas in the end zone on a crossing route. Tannehill brought Miami right back down the field, however, making good on all six of his throws on a 10-play, 87-yard jaunt he concluded with a perfectly thrown ball that Wallace hauled in with a diving attempt for a 21-10 Dolphins edge. Wallaces 10-yard score came with 1:54 left in the half, more than enough time for Manning to get the Broncos back on the board. The five-time league MVP hit a wide-open Sanders for a 35-yard gain on 3rd-and-20, then connected again with Demaryius Thomas for a 14-yard touchdown with 12 seconds on the clock to cut Denvers deficit to 21-17. The Broncos couldnt make any progress in the third quarter, however. McManus hit the upright on a 33-yard field goal attempt on the initial drive of the second half, and a fumbled punt by Isaiah Burse that the Dolphins recovered at the Denver 12 led to Landrys first touchdown catch.
