ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- From rematches to revivals to redemption, its not a good idea to bet against Peyton Manning when it comes to second chances. He has 97 touchdown throws since hooking up with John Elway in Denver two years ago after the Indianapolis Colts released him when neck troubles clouded his football future. After dispatching San Diego Sunday on the anniversary of last years crushing loss to Baltimore in eerily similar circumstances, Manning stands one win from a shot at becoming the first quarterback to win Super Bowls with two franchises. Standing in his way are Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, who beat the Broncos 34-31 in overtime in November. Thing is, its been six years since Manning lost a rematch to a team that beat him earlier in the season. The Broncos (14-3) lost just once at home this season, when they became the highest-scoring team in the Super Bowl era, propelled by Mannings record 55 TD throws and 5,447 yards through the air. That was back on Dec. 12, when they were upset by San Diego, a loss they avenged Sunday by beating the Chargers 24-17. The last time Manning lost twice in a row to the same team was in 2007, when the Colts lost 23-21 at San Diego in November and then dropped a 28-24 heartbreaker at home in the wild-card playoffs. Since then, Manning has won five straight rematches, including the AFC championship against the Jets 30-17 following the 2009 season, avenging a 29-15 loss in Week 16 that ended Indys shot at a perfect season. It took a vintage performance from Manning on Sunday to keep that streak going. After controlling the game for 3 1/2 quarters, the Broncos allowed 17 fourth-quarter points after losing shutdown cornerback Chris Harris Jr. to a torn ACL. The Broncos were facing third-and-17 from their own 20 with three minutes left and Rivers loosening up his right arm on the Chargers sideline, ready for his chance to tie this one just like the Ravens had a year earlier on their way to a 38-35 win in double-overtime. "It was deja vu," Elway, now the Broncos executive vice-president, said on his weekly podcast on the teams website Tuesday. As Manning took the snap and stepped up, the pocket began to collapse around him, but he spotted tight end Julius Thomas open along the Broncos sideline. The pass was perfect, as was Thomas tap dance until his momentum took him out of bounds at the 41. Then, on third-and-6 from his 45, Manning hit Thomas for a 9-yard gain over the middle with 2:12 left. A year ago, then-offensive co-ordinator Mike McCoy called for a run by undersized Ronnie Hillman on third-and-7 at about the same point in the game, which in turn led to Joe Flaccos 70-yard touchdown heave to Jacoby Jones over Rahim Moore with 31 seconds left. This was the ultimate second chance, and Manning made good on it. "Julius and I have spent a lot of time working on those particular routes, after practice, in practice," Manning said. "And thats one of the most rewarding parts of football, when you put that work in, off to the side and after practice, and it pays off for you in a game ... those two plays were certainly worth the hard work." Thomas had just one career catch coming into this season, his third in the NFL, and he had gotten hurt on that one reception, no less. He even briefly considered giving up his dream of playing football. But this season, he broke Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpes team record for tight ends by catching 12 TD passes and it was his emergence that freed up Mannings other targets — Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker and Wes Welker, along with running back Knowshon Moreno — who all joined him with 10 or more touchdowns. Thomas, who didnt play in the first matchup against the Patriots because of a knee injury, finished with six catches for 76 yards Sunday, but none was longer — or bigger — than his 21-yarder. "Third-and-17 was the play of the game," Elway said. "We had to pick it up, keep the chains moving, keep them off the field and not give them a chance and so thats where it was tremendous. The offensive line did a great job of protecting Peyton, Julius Thomas made a great catch dragging his feet on the sideline. "But who knows where the game goes if we dont make that play? Those are the types of plays you have to make in playoff football to be able to advance." And make the most of second chances.

Levy won twice this year on the European Tour, and they were his only two top-10 finishes. Levy fired a second-round 62, which helped him win the China Open in April. He later won the Portugal Masters, which was trimmed to 36 holes due to weather problems. I think this country likes me. For me, this golf course is pretty much the same of Shenzhen, said Levy of the course he won on earlier this year. I like this type of golf course with water and the target golf. Nicolas Colsaerts, Romain Wattel and Emiliano Grillo are tied for second place at minus-6. Graeme McDowell opened with a 5-under 67 on the Masters Course at Lake Malaren Golf Club and he stands alone in fifth place. Thomas Bjorn, Jamie Donaldson, Marcel Siem, Richard Sterne, Oliver Wilson and Branden Grace are one stroke back at minus-4. Levy birdied the second and followed with six consecutive pars from the third. He caught fire from there. The Frenchman rolled in a birdie chance at the ninth. Levy made it two in a row as he also birdied the 10th. He wasnt done as he followed with birdies at 11 and 12. Levy poured in his fifth straight birdie at the par-5 13th. That burst gave him the lead. After three pars in a row, Levy birdied the par-3 17th to move to minus-7. He parred the last to end there. I played very good today. The last three tournaments I did that, and I did it again today.dddddddddddd Its what I want in my game, to be consistent on the golf course and I like when I am bogey-free, Levy stated. I missed one fairway I think today and Im still aggressive on the golf course and I like to play this golf and I need to be thinking like that for the rest of the week. Colsaerts played the back nine first in the opening round. He birdied the 10th and 13th, then jumped to 4-under as he made eagle at the par-5 15th. After three pars in a row, Colsaerts tripped to a bogey at the first. He quickly erased that mistake with birdies at two and three. Colsaerts faltered to a another bogey on the fifth. He moved into second place with birdies at the seventh and eighth. Colsaerts parred the last to end there. Wattel started his bogey-free round with birdies at the first and third. After he ran off four pars in a row from the fourth, Wattel birdied the eighth and ninth to make the turn at minus-4. He birdied the 13th and 18th to gain a share of second place. Grillo carded two birdies on the front nine, and they came at the second and seventh. He picked up his third birdie on the 10th. Grillo flew into a share of second as he birdied three of the last four holes from the 16th. NOTES: Levy is 26-under par in five rounds in China this year on the European Tour ... Edoardo Molinari had a hole-in-one on the par-3 fourth and he carded a 2-under 70, which left him tied for 19th ... This is the first event of the European Tour finals series.
