DENVER -- Peyton Manning drew his biggest ovation on an incompletion. Blasted by defensive end Bruce Irvin, the four-time MVP who missed all of last season with a neck injury that required four operations bounced right back up, shook it off and threw a 22-yard bullet to Brandon Stokley on the next play. It was the highlight of a mostly forgettable home debut for Manning, whose Broncos lost 30-10 to the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night after Denvers backups were outscored 21-0. Manning had shown throughout training camp that his arm strength was back along with his accuracy. The only question left was whether he could take a hard hit after undergoing neck fusion surgery last September. The answer came with 1:25 left in the first half when Irvin beat right tackle Orlando Franklin and had a clean shot at the quarterback. "I came into the game trying to be the first one to get a shot on him since hes been back and I guess I succeeded," Irvin said. "Hes a great quarterback, got the ball out quick and its hard to get to him. I just put on a good move and just so happened to get through." Welcome back to the NFL, Peyton. "He didnt say anything. He moaned a little bit, though," Irvin said. "So I guess he really felt it. It was a good hit, good play and now its time to move on." Mannings sentiments, too, after his first hit in 19 months. "I never heard a crowd cheer for an incompletion before," Manning said. "I think the next pass was to Stokley, right? Thats what I told you I was going to do." Indeed, Manning had been saying for weeks that he only hoped that first big hit happened on first or second down so he could bounce back up and complete a long pass. He couldnt decide what was better, getting that initial big blast out of the way or putting a halt to all the questions about whether he could still take a hit. "Both of them are just fine with me," Manning said. As the ball sailed out of bounds, Manning popped right back up and the crowd went wild. "We werent worried about it. I think everybody else was," Stokley said. "Now, we dont have to hear about that anymore." Instead, they can concentrate on all the mistakes theyve been making with Manning under centre. Manning played the first half and gave the Broncos (1-1) a 10-9 lead despite three turnovers, including an interception in the red zone for the second straight week, and another at midfield on a bad overthrow. He looked great on a 2-minute drive, but that stalled when tight end Jacob Tamme, his old pal from Indianapolis, dropped a wide-open touchdown pass 6 seconds before halftime following a drop by Eric Decker and a 15-yard penalty on centre J.D. Walton. "Well, we moved the ball well," Stokley said. "We had a good 2-minute drive going and we kind of shot ourselves in the foot with the 15-yard penalty. So, we did some good things and then we did some bad things, so youve just got to be glad its preseason and not the regular season." Terrell Owens had a disappointing debut for the Seahawks (2-0), failing to catch any of the five passes thrown his way. Owens is trying to show hes fully recovered from a knee injury that kept him out of the NFL for the entire 2011 season, but in his first NFL game action since Week 15 of the 2010 season with Cincinnati, he was out of sync with quarterback Matt Flynn. Flynn targeted him five times. The first was behind him, the second was over his head, the third was knocked away by Elvis Dumervil and then cornerback Champ Bailey broke up a slant pass. The fifth incompletion was all on Owens. He sped past cornerback Chris Harris on a deep post and was wide open to haul in a perfectly thrown 46-yard touchdown pass from Flynn but it slipped through his fingers just as he raced across the goal line. "That would have been a really big event for us in the first half, to score on that play," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. "... It was unfortunate. Hes got to get back in action and that was his first time out there. So hes been very much on point in practice. Hes worked very hard. And so hes caught a lot of deep balls in practice so I know he can make those plays for us and its unfortunate we didnt get it right off the bat." Manning was sharp on an 11-play, 80-yard that ended with Willis McGahees 1-yard TD run and in the 2-minute drill at the end of the second quarter, when the Broncos (No. 10 in the AP Pro32) failed to capitalize. They settled for Matt Praters 32-yard field goal that gave Denver a 10-9 halftime lead over the Seahawks (No. 22) despite Mannings two interceptions and a fumble by Lance Ball. In the most anticipated preseason home opener for the Broncos since his boss, John Elway, was the one directing Denvers offence, Manning completed 16 of 23 passes for 177 yards with no TDs. On first-and-goal from the 9, defensive end Red Bryant tipped Mannings pass into the arms of linebacker K.J. Wright at the line of scrimmage. On Mannings other pickoff, the ball sailed on him and safety Jeron Johnson easily intercepted it. Steven Hauschka kicked field goals of 43, 36 and 43 yards for Seattle. Flynn finished 6 of 13 for 31 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. The second half was all Seahawks as they scored on Kregg Lumpkins 16-yard run before rookie Russell Wilson (10 of 17 for 155 yards) threw TD passes of 34 yards to Tyrell Sutton and 8 yards to Cooper Helfet.

LOS ANGELES -- Martin Jones charmed NHL career just keeps getting more surreal with every save, every win and every shutout in his rapidly growing collection. Jones made 24 saves for his third shutout in five games, and the remarkable rookie led the Los Angeles Kings to a 3-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. Dwight King and Jordan Nolan scored during another dominant night for Jones, who became the first goalie in Kings history to begin his career with six consecutive victories. Edmonton is only the latest team that couldnt solve Jones, who has allowed just five goals in his six games. Even Jones seems a bit bewildered by his phenomenal success, but hes trying to stay focused on each frustrated opponent instead of his overall accomplishments. "I want to make sure Im focused and prepared for the games, but also have some fun as well," Jones said. "My job is to work hard in practice and be ready to play when called upon." Dustin Brown added an empty-net goal for the Kings, who have won seven of eight while taking just two regulation losses in 20 games since Nov. 2 (14-2-4). Jones made a handful of stunning saves in another defence-dominated night for the Kings, whose 68 goals allowed are the fewest in the NHL. The 23-year-old undrafted rookie who seemed likely to spend a fourth year in the AHL this winter instead has the NHLs best save percentage (.972) and goals-against average (0.82) while sharing the league lead in shutouts with seven other goalies -- including teammate Ben Scrivens. "These guys have been unbelievable in front of me, the way they pick up sticks and clear the net," Jones said. "They do a great job helping me out." Ilya Bryzgalov stopped 37 shots for the last-place Oilers, who have lost four straight. Bryzgalov almost matched Jones as Los Angeles handily outshot the Oilers, but key defensive breakdowns by his young teammates cost him. "I thought we had the puck in our right skilled players hands to generate chances, and we couldnt score," Edmonton coach Dallas Eakins said. "Usually the problems with our team have been turnovers or some defensive zone lapse, but that just wassnt the case tonight.ddddddddddddquot; The Kings had to go right back to work after sweeping through eastern Canada on a four-game road trip last week, posting convincing victories on every stop of their showcase in Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa. Los Angeles lost Sunday in Chicago before returning to Staples Center for its third game in four nights. "I was impressed with our team tonight because of the tough haul," coach Darryl Sutter said. "Its been a tough stretch of games, tough travel back with teams waiting for us. You score the one goal and then youre fighting the whole night." The Kings got the first periods only goal when Drew Doughty stickhandled through the Edmonton end before finding King for his ninth goal. Jones denied Ryan Smyth and Nail Yakupov up close on unguarded chances in the second period. Jones then stopped Taylor Hall on a clean breakaway early in the third when Hall couldnt get a handle on the puck, and Edmonton didnt register its first shot on goal until midway through the period. "Maybe if a couple of bounces go our way and their goalie isnt as hot as he is, it would be a different game," Hall said. "I thought we showed a lot of really good things. We managed to get out of a tough circumstance a couple of times in the game." Matt Greene made an exceptional play from in front of the Oilers bench, capitalizing on a bad Edmonton change to lob a pass to Nolan for a breakaway goal, his fifth of the season. Edmonton pulled Bryzgalov after Brown took a penalty in the waning minutes, but the Kings weathered the 6-on-4 disadvantage before Brown emerged from the box at exactly the right time to skate in alone for the 400th point of his career. High-scoring right wing Ales Hemsky returned to Edmontons lineup after missing Sundays loss in Anaheim with sore ribs.
