Scores for December 6th, 2012

NFL

Led by a resurgent Peyton Manning, the Denver Broncos are on a roll. And now the AFC West champs are eyeing a potential first-round bye following their eighth straight win. Manning tallied his 5,000th career completion and threw for 310 yards and a touchdown in the Broncos’ 26-13 win over the Oakland Raiders. Manning joined Brett Favre (6,400) as the only NFL quarterbacks with 5,000-plus completions.

NBA

 

Braves
On the final day of the meetings, the Braves re-signed free-agent outfielder Reed Johnson on a year-deal with a club option for 2014. Reed gives Atlanta a versatile defensive player and right-handed hitter who led the majors with 18 pinch hits in 2012 and ranked second in the majors with a .413 average as a pinch-hitter.

NHL
The NHL rejected the players’ most recent offer for a collective bargaining agreement on Thursday, causing talks between the two sides to be suspended indefinitely. The two sides had met for nearly 20 hours over the past two days and reportedly exchanged proposals Wednesday in an effort to end the lockout, which is approaching the three-month mark
