passing for touchdowns of 14 yards to Jordan Taylor and 2 yard

Nico Rosberg eased Mercedes fears about its pace in Singapore by topping second practice, though teammate Lewis Hamiltons disjointed session ended prematurely with a hydraulics issue.It was in FP2 last year where Mercedes struggles first became apparent in a weekend which saw the team qualify nearly 1.5s off the pole and finish off the podium for the first time in the V6 era. The team came into the weekend hoping to have solved those issues and the evening session under the lights suggested progress has been made, with Rosbergs 1:44.152 a full 0.3s quicker than Kimi Raikkonen in the quickest Ferrari.Mercedes optimism will be tempered by Hamiltons session, however, with the reigning world champion aborting his first qualifying simulation and then enduring a messy series of laps of the ultra-soft tyres afterwards. He then returned to the pits, where the cover was taken off his engine, something Mercedes later confirmed was to investigate a hydraulic alert while on the circuit. The team decided the issue could not be resolved in the final 15 minutes and he did not return to the circuit. It means the world champion missed out on the long runs at the end of the session -- a significant blow in Singapore as FP2 is the only practice session which is considered relevant to the rest of the weekend as the full session takes place under floodlights.?Max Verstappen finished third as Red Bull struggled to live up to its favourites tag, though he and teammate Daniel Ricciardo both appeared to struggle to get the most out of their cars in the final sector. Sebastian Vettel could only manage fifth, though he clearly did not nail a perfect lap and finished 0.7s off teammate Raikkonen. Force Indias Nico Hulkenberg finished an impressive sixth for Force India, suggesting once again the team has made huge strides in development in recent months. Hamilton finished seventh and only completed 20 laps.Carlos Sainz finished eighth for Toro Rosso at a circuit which could be the last chance for a strong result in 2016. Fernando Alonso finished ninth, two positions down on where McLaren expects to qualify tomorrow, though Friday practice is rarely an accurate predictor of every position on the grid. However, the Spaniard pulled up at Turn 16 at the end of the session with what he reported to be a gearbox issue, which could have ramifications for the Spaniard later in the weekend. Daniil Kvyat rounded off the top ten on a weekend he will hope ends his long and painful wait for points.Sergio Perez, who was complaining about issues during the session, had to settle for 11th ahead of Jenson Button and Esteban Gutierrez. Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas took the next two spaces and, though Williams often makes a big step forward on Saturday it seems to have a lot of work to do to catch Force India overnight. Kevin Magnussen and Valtteri Bottas finished 16th and 17th, ahead of Felipe Nasr, who earned the wrath of Ricciardo late in the session for holding him up after exiting the pit lane.Romain Grosjean finished 19th but lost his rear wing early in the session, spinning out of the last corner and tapping the barrier. He finished ahead of Marcus Ericsson and Pascal Wehrlein. Manors Esteban Ocon rounded off the timing screens a full three seconds down, though he was lucky to return his car to the garage in one piece after clouting the wall on two occasions at the end of his ultra-soft qualifying simulation.

NEW ORLEANS -- Justin Simmons perfectly timed leap over Saints long snapper Justin Drescher brought the celebration inside the Superdome to a stunning halt, and sent the Broncos galloping the other way for a first-of-its kind victory.Just like Denver drew it up.Will Parks scooped up Simmons smothering block of Wil Lutzs point-after kick and ran 84 yards for a defensive 2-point conversion that lifted Denver to a wild 25-23 victory over the Saints on Sunday.Simmons says Denver calls the play, Leaper, and was something we worked on all week.It took me a few tries to actually time it up and make sure I could clear the center in practice, Simmons said. We just picked up on their tendencies throughout the week watching film and executed the play.The decisive play came while the Superdome crowd was still buzzing about Brandin Cooks twisting, 32-yard touchdown catch between two defenders, which had put New Orleans in position to take the lead with 1:28 left. Simmons block was scooped up by Parks, who nearly stepped out of bounds as he raced down the left sideline.Im still in disbelief a little bit. Especially when you score at the end, Saints quarterback Drew Brees said. Its tough to play a game like that on both sides of the ball, fighting the way that we all did, and then for it to come down to something like that.It was the first such play to provide the winning points in an NFL game and the third return for 2 points since the NFL began allowing defensive scores on such plays in 2015.Weve always had that play in our arsenal, Simmons said. You put it in the back of your pocket for a situation like this to go win the game.New Orleans (4-5) wasnt entirely unprepared. Drescher said the Saints have a pre-snap Jumper call that linemen are supposed to make when an opposing teams alignment tips off such a play.Its an awareness factor, Drescher said. Weve gone over this before and its on me. Its my responsibility to get up and get him and I didnt do it, and I feel horrible. Its a horrible way to lose the game.The Broncos made the play stand up by recovering an onside kick and running out the clock.STOPPING POWERThe Broncos league-leading pass defense got the best of its matchup with New Orleans top-rated passing offense, thanks in large part to turnovers.Safety Darian Stewart intercepted Brees twice and recovered a fumble for the Broncos (7-3). Three of Denvers four takeaways came on passes intended for Saints rookie sensation Michael Thomas. Thomas fumblled twice after catches, and one of Stewarts interceptions came on a pass Bradley Roby deflected out of Thomas grasp.dddddddddddd.Brees still wound up completing 21 of 29 passes for 303 yards and three touchdowns, with the first two scoring passes going to Willie Snead.Brees final TD pass capped a six-play, 75-yard drive that began with 2:50 left and no timeouts. It put the Saints (4-5), who won four of their previous five games, in position to climb above .500 for the first time this season following an 0-3 start. It was not to be.PERSEVERINGTrevor Siemian overcame two interceptions by passing for touchdowns of 14 yards to Jordan Taylor and 2 yards to Demaryius Thomas. Siemian finished with 258 yards passing and completed other clutch throws as Denver converted 11 of 19 third downs.I was up and down, I made a few mistakes. The defense bailed us out a couple of times, Siemian said. But overall, the group really played hard and theres something to be said about that.MOMENTUM SHIFT: The Broncos controlled the first 29 minutes. Stewart intercepted Brees twice -- joining the currently injured Aqib Talib as the only Broncos with multiple interceptions in one game. The second turnover set up Brandon McManus 50-yard field goal, which gave the Broncos a 10-0 lead.Late in the second quarter, Denver was across midfield and looking for one more score when Sterling Moore anticipated Siemians short throw toward the left flat and intercepted it. Brees marched New Orleans 50 yards in less than 29 seconds, setting up Lutzs short field goal to make it 10-3 at halftime. It was the beginning of 17 straight Saints points.AGGRESSIVE FRONT: The Saints defense entered the game with 11 sacks through their first eight games, or 1 1/2 more than Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller had by himself. But New Orleans created more pressure up front and sacked Siemian six times. Rookie defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins, DT Nick Fairley, end Cameron Jordan, safety Kenny Vaccaro and linebackers Dannell Ellerbe and Craig Robertson all had sacks. Meanwhile, Denvers defense sacked Brees once to increase its season total to 29. Linebacker Shaq Barrett got the lone sack.UP NEXT:Denver enters its bye week.New Orleans has a short week, playing at Carolina on Thursday night.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
