The Bills amassed 510 total yards against the Broncos, who rested all of their starters. 208 of those yards came out of the running game.

Bottom left: The Yankees' ongoing nosedive has now reached the point of visible frustration. On Saturday, the Yankees lost 5-2 to the Toronto Blue Jays, marking the team's 14th loss in their last 17 games. Afterwards, manager Aaron Boone slammed his hand on a table while talking to reporters about the team's struggles. New York's lead in the American League East, which seemed insurmountable at the All-Star Break, is now down to seven games.
Bottom right: Albert Pujols is making a push to reach 700 career home runs before he retires at the end of the season. On Saturday, the 42-year-old slugger homered twice in a 16-7 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, giving him 692 dingers for his career. He is now four behind Alex Rodriguez for fourth place on MLB's all-time list. Pujols also went 4-for-4 at the plate, and in the process, surpassed Cardinals legend Stan Musial for second place on MLB's all-time total bases list. Photo by USA Today
