Half-Time Report: Aqib Talib touchdown puts Denver Broncos in control against Cleveland Browns

Talib touchdown puts Broncos in control

An interception for a touchdown by Aqib Talib has given the Denver Broncos a 10-0 lead at the break in their NFL clash against the Cleveland Browns.

Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning continued his struggles at the start of the season as he threw an interception for the fifth game in a row when he was picked off by Karlos Dansby.

However, the AFC West side managed to take the lead when they converted a fourth down, and although they failed to score a touchdown, Brandon McManus sent a kick through the posts from 29 yards.

Denver extended their advantage as Browns quarterback Josh McCown tried to find his receiver down the sideline, but Talib intercepted the ball and returned it all the way for a 63-yard score.

The Broncos had the chance to put a further three points on the board just before the break, but McManus sent his kick from 51 yards wide of the posts.
