ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Yes, Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas are frustrated with their paltry production. No, theyre not going to create a stink about itTheres some frustration, but its hard to be frustrated when youre sitting here 2-0, Sanders said.Quarterback Trevor Siemian, a relative rookie, has flashed his promise but displayed his inexperience, driving Denver inside the opponents 36 on all but five of his 18 drives so far but coming away with just four touchdowns to go with three interceptions.Both of his Pro Bowl receivers, who are signed for a combined $92 million over the next four years, expressed displeasure with Denvers sputtering offense after the Broncos 34-20 win over Indianapolis, which they won on the strength of two defensive touchdowns.Sanders had just three catches, all in the first quarter, and Thomas had five receptions but just one after halftime, not counting his 2-point conversion in the closing minutes.As their attention turned to Siemians first road game Sunday in Cincinnati (1-1), Thomas and Sanders were more encouraging in their comments about the Broncos work-in-progress offense.It was his second start, Thomas said. Its going to take time and thats with everybody. I dont know the problem why the ball isnt coming my way, but its not a big deal. At the end of the day, its all about winning and were 2-0 right now. Thats all I can worry about.The Broncos piled up nearly 300 yards to the Colts 72 before halftime Sunday but they led by just a touchdown, then they had just three second-half possessions.Its about finishing the drive and putting up points, Thomas said. You can have 400 yards but the turnovers come back to haunt you.Thomas (nine catches, 188 yards) and Sanders (eight receptions, 88 yards) are still searching for the end zone, and Siemian understands their consternation.Receivers have been complaining about their number of catches ever since Don Hutson revolutionized the NFL in the 1930s when the Green Bay Packers added a downfield element to their offense and everybody else followed suit.Thats understandable, right? Receivers, they want the ball, they want to make plays, especially our guys, and theyre two of the best in the business, Siemian said. We want to give those guys opportunities to make plays, so I think its understandable. Everybody is working really hard to get wins, which were doing, and to get better. Thats the exciting part, too: Theres room for improvement and were still winning. Understandable, though.Kubiak said correcting the red zone woes (theyre just 2 for 6) isnt something that falls only on Siemians shoulders.Its on all our shoulders, Kubiak said. Its finding the right call for them, making the right play and converting short yardage. Thats two weeks in a row weve missed third-and-1s. That keeps you from running three more plays down there. Its all on of us. We have to look at it and do a better job. Thats all we can do.Running back C.J. Anderson shrugged off the offensive chagrin.We were frustrated last year and we were 7-0 at one point, so its just how it is, Anderson said. We know that we have some things that we need to work on. Im going to keep saying it all week, we just want to put the ball in the box. Thats what its about, putting the ball in the end zone.Game notesS Darian Stewart told KMGH-TV in Denver that he was fined $9,115 for his forearm hit to Colts QB Andrew Luck and that hell appeal. Stewart was fined $18,231 for his helmet-to-helmet hit on Cam Newton in the opener. This brings to $75,964 the amount that the Broncos have been fined since the preseason. ...

Ivanovic was leading 7-5, 1-0 when Hantuchova withdrew after falling 0-40 behind in the second game. The match started slowly for Ivanovic, who surrendered her first two serves as Hantuchova took a 5-3 lead.LEICESTER, England -- Leicesters 20-game unbeaten home league run ended as West Bromwich Albion beat the Premier League champions 2-1 on Sunday.Matt Phillips exploited Danny Drinkwaters error as West Brom inflicted Leicesters fifth loss of the season but the first at the King Power Stadium in the league since September 2015.Leicester forward Islam Slimani had quickly canceled out James Morrisons second-half opener but Phillips goal ended Albions five-match winless streak.Leicesters focus on the Champions League -- where Claudio Ranieris team needs one point from its final two group games to reach the last 16 -- has impacted on the domestic form.Leicester tumbled to 14th place as West Brom moved above the hosts into 11th.Leicester only lost just three times in last seasons successful campaign for its first top-flight title, with Jamie Vardy again benched Sunday without a goal in his last 13 outings after a substitute appearance.Leicester started on the back foot as Ron-Robert Zieler, in for Kasper Schmeichel after the goalkeeper fractured a hand in Wednesdays 0-0 Champions League draw in Copenhagen, tipped Phillips low drive wide after just three minutes.The Baggies made an aggressive start, helped by Leicesters sloppy play, with Zieler rusty and the goalkeeper allowed Salomon Rondon to charge down his clearance.Much like in their forgettable stalemate in Denmark, the Foxes were stifled with Slimani and thee recalled Shinji Okazaki starved of service.dddddddddddd.With Vardy benched, Leicester lacked the cunning to attack West Brom as Ahmed Musa and Riyad Mahrez remained on the periphery.Darren Fletcher and Claudio Yacob screened the visitors defense well and it was the first time Leicester had failed to register a shot on target in the first half since returning to the Premier League in 2014.In response Ranieri replaced Okazaki with Vardy at the break but the strikers introduction failed to inspire the hosts.West Brom took the lead seven minutes after the restart. Fine work from Rondon saw the ball eventually worked right.Phillips cross struck Christian Fuchs and fell invitingly for Morrison to stoop and glance a fine 10-yard header across Zieler and into the corner.The lead lasted just three minutes. Leicester equalized with its first effort of the game. Slimanis cross-field pass found Mahrez and the striker wandered into the area unchecked. Mahrezs cross then found fellow Algerian Slimani who timed his run perfectly to nod in his fifth strike of the season from six yards.The goal reinvigorated Leicester but West Brom regained its composure and grabbed the winner in the 72nd.Drinkwaters wretched back-pass sent Phillips clear and the winger outpaced Wes Morgan to dink past Zieler.
