DENVER — Cincinnati safety Jordan Battle thought he had a 61-yard fumble return for a touchdown until he dropped the ball just shy of crossing the goal line. Suddenly, a touchdown turned into a touchback and Tennessee took over. He had company on Sunday. Indianapolis running back Jonathan Taylor had a 41-yard touchdown run on the board until replays clearly showed him dropping the ball before crossing into the end zone. That turned the score into a 40-yard run and a touchback early in the third quarter against Denver. The Broncos outscored Indy 24-0 the rest of the way and won 31-13.
