ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Only three players drafted in 1998 are still in the NFL, and two of them — Peyton Manning and Charles Woodson — meet this weekend when the Denver Broncos visit the winless Oakland Raiders.Woodson famously beat out Manning for the 1997 Heisman Trophy. A few months later, Manning was the No. 1 overall draft pick and Woodson was fourth.We both have a great deal of respect for what each other has done in this game, Woodson said Wednesday. And for both of us to still be playing 17 years later says a lot about both players and what the game means to us. Hes done some incredible things. Hes still doing incredible things in this league. ... Its fun to watch him from afar.Up close, added Woodson, not so much.Manning also praised Woodsons longevity and current level of play.Charles, to be playing as well as he is as a defensive/secondary guy is pretty impressive, Manning said. Hes making plays with his cover skills and kind of his ranging/roving skills, but I see him sticking his nose and shoulders in there and making tackles like he did when he was 23, 24 years old.The only other survivor from the class of 98 is sixth-rounder Matt Hasselbeck.Son of a gun, Woodson said. Where is Matt Hasselbeck?Backing up Andrew Luck in Indianapolis.Theres only three of us, huh? Well, you know what, its a blessing to have played this long and to be one of only three from the 98 class, Woodson said. Im proud of that.So is Manning, who nearly teamed up with Woodson in 2013. Woodson, however, choose Oakland over Denver following his departure from Green Bay.Since then, the Raiders are 4-20 and the Broncos 21-6.Still, Woodson swears he has no regrets.You cant think like that, he said. My decision was made to come back and play for the Oakland Raiders and all of my energy and focus have been on trying to make this team better and trying to help turn this organization around.Woodson said despite their 0-8 record, the Raiders remain optimistic.Were not allowing our record to dictate how we come in and approach the game, he said.Neither are the Broncos (6-2).What I see is how we played last week, which is not our best, tight end Jacob Tamme said of Denvers surprisingly decisive loss at New England. We take a long, hard look at it. We all know that we need to be better and thats what were focused on.The Oakland Raiders, I get tired of saying it, but the records dont matter, Tamme added. You look at their front seven on defence, theyre as good as anybody.Tight end Julius Thomas, who leads the league with 10 TD catches, said the Broncos are a resilient bunch and were not going to let one night of things not going our way set us off of what weve been working toward.The Broncos have typically bounced back from disheartening losses. They havent lost consecutive games with Manning around since his second and third games in a Broncos uniform in 2012.Can it be a good thing? Yeah, if you respond, Manning said. Youd like not to get slapped in the face to get refocused. You would like to be focused every single week. If it happens, its about trying not to repeat it, trying to improve. And thats what were trying to do. Were trying to learn from it and be better for it.The Raiders task isnt just bouncing back from one bad game but a seasons worth of blown opportunities.Woodson knows just the tonic.A signature moment, he said.A win over the heavily favoured Broncos this weekend would certainly qualify.Notes: RB Montee Ball said hes lost 12 pounds and is down to 212 as he works his way back from a strained groin thats sidelined him for a month. He said he realizes hes lost his starting job to Ronnie Hillman but vowed hell fight to win it back and the weight loss will help him hit the holes more decisively.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow AP Pro Football Writer Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Fake Nike Shoes Black Friday .C. -- Martin Kaymer set a U.

Matt Carpenter hit a sacrifice fly in the 12th inning, lifting St. Louis over the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 on Saturday night. Jhonny Peralta homered for the Cardinals, who have won eight of 10 and closed within a half-game of NL Central-leading Milwaukee. "It would have been a tough one to lose," St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. "It was one of those tough ones to swallow. But the guys fought hard and kept coming." Ryan Howard homered and Marlon Byrd and Carlos Ruiz each drove in a pair of runs for the Phillies. Pinch-hitter Daniel Descalso drew a leadoff walk in the 12th from Ken Giles (2-1). Descalso went to second on Jon Jays sacrifice bunt and moved to third on Peter Bourjos infield single. Carpenter then flied out to deep left. Seth Maness (5-2) pitched two scoreless innings and Trevor Rosenthal earned his 38th save in 43 chances. "The bullpen did a nice job holding us where we were after it got tied up," Matheny said. The teams combined to use 14 pitchers in a game that took 4 hours, 53 minutes. The Phillies tied it at 5 in the eighth on Byrds two-run single off Pat Neshek, who relieved Randy Choate after the bases were loaded with no outs. Cardinals starter Shelby Miller was in line for the win after going six innings and allowing three runs and five hits. "Overall I felt strong," Miller said. "I thought I did a good job getting ahead of the hitters." A pair of Phillies errors helped the Cardinals break a 2-all tie and go in front in the sixth with three runs off reliever Mario Hollands. "Not a good defensive inning for us," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. After A.J. Pierzynski led off with a double, Oscar Taveras hit a sinking liner to left. Domonic Brown appeared to pull up on a catchable ball and Pierzynski took off for third when Brown hesitated to throw back to the infield.dddddddddddd Brown then threw the ball away, allowing Pierzynski to score. "Once the ball was caught I think he was focused on the ball and was not aware of where the baserunners were," Sandberg said. David Buchanan got his first no-decision in his 14th start, giving up two runs and eight hits in five innings. The right-hander is filling in for Cliff Lee, who is out for the season with an elbow injury. Buchanan was upset he was lifted so soon. "That caught me off-guard, honestly," he said. "I didnt expect that. I wasnt too happy about it. But I cant control that." TRAINERS ROOM Cardinals: RHP Jason Motte missed his 20th game with a lower back strain. The reliever is 0-0 with a 4.91 ERA in 24 games. Phillies: RHP Mike Adams will begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. A shoulder injury has sidelined him since June 7. He is 2-1 with a 2.12 ERA in 19 games. UP NEXT Cardinals: RHP Justin Masterson makes his fifth start for St. Louis since being traded from Cleveland. Masterson is 1-0 with a 2.16 ERA in three games against Philadelphia. Phillies: RHP Jerome Williams looks to continue his strong performance since being claimed off waivers from Texas. He is 1-0 with a 2.19 ERA in two starts with the Phillies. REVERES KICK Kolten Wongs drive to centre leading off the ninth went over the head of Ben Revere in centre, bounced off the ground where it meets the wall and then ricocheted off Reveres foot over the wall. Wong was awarded second base and stayed there after crew chief Brian ONora reviewed the play for a rules check for a deflected ball being a double. PHILLIES OWNER DIES Sally Buck, one of the Phillies owners, died on Saturday, the team said. She was 83. Buck and her late husband, Alexander, became owners in 1981.
