ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Malik Jackson sees the Broncos visit to Jacksonville this weekend as a chance to prove to his former team hes worth the $90 million contract the Jaguars gave him after he rejected Denvers $53 million offer.They shouldnt have let me go, Jackson said. Thats my whole premise in going out there is letting them know Im a problem and you let this problem go and now you have to deal with me.Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall knows just how he feels.Ive been looking forward to this game for a long time, Marshall said of his first chance to play against the team that drafted him in 2012 only to doubt him and dismiss him, cutting him on three separate occasions.This game means a lot to me. I want to win so bad. With how everything went down, it was very disappointing, and it was ... it was heartbreaking for me, Marshall said.That pain lingers all these years later.My old coach told me that he didnt know if I was going to make it in this league. And then it was weird, the old GM, (Gene Smith) told my agent that he thought I had a bad attitude, Marshall said. There was a while when the coaches wouldnt even talk to me. One time, the old GM, he cut me and he said, `Your ankles are stiff. Stiff ankles! He really said that.Insults like that dont fade; they fester.No, it never goes away, man. Ive always thought about it, what the coach said to me, what the GM said to me, and how I feel I was treated over there, the opportunities that I didnt have, Marshall said. This is something that Ive been looking forward to. I cant wait. Im going to have so much energy, so much juice. Im excited.When Marshall signed his four-year, $32 million extension last summer, he said he uses the Jaguars snubs as motivation whether at practice, in the weight room or between the lines on game day.Thats my chip, Marshall said, the biggest chip I have because people doubted me.Nobody doubted Jackson, who scored a defensive touchdown in Denvers 24-10 Super Bowl win over Carolina when he recovered Cam Newtons fumble in the end zone on Von Millers first of two sack-strips.Its just that the Broncos had to pay Miller , Marshall and Emmanuel Sanders -- whose contracts total $179.5 million -- in the offseason after signing Derek Wolfe to a four-year, $37.5 million deal in January.The Broncos miss Jackson, though.After allowing the third-fewest yards rushing (83.6) per game last year, their run defense has tumbled to 27th, yielding 120 yards a game.The Jaguars missed on Marshall, who leads the Broncos with 259 tackles since 2014.The Broncos (7-4) are scrambling to make the playoffs for a sixth consecutive season and are facing tough breaks -- rookie QB Paxton Lynch is getting his second start with Trevor Siemian out with a sprained left foot -- and a tough schedule, with games left against the Titans, Patriots, Chiefs and Raiders after Sunday.Those teams have a combined 32-13 record.The Jaguars arent the pushover their 2-9 record might suggest as theyve lost six close games.Still, its been an adjustment for Jackson, who never lost more than four games in any of his four seasons in Denver.Its kind of sobering because you realize every teams not winning 12 games a year, said Jackson, who added he probably would still be in Denver had the Broncos made their same $53 million offer to him last season.Not that he regrets anything.I couldnt be happier, Jackson said of his new role as the veteran tutor showing younger teammates what it takes to become a champion.And hes hoping he gets to play another role this weekend, that of spoiler.I think that would be awesome to beat the old team that let you go, Jackson said. Im looking forward to this game. Its definitely one Ive had circled for a long time.So has Marshall.Game notes Von Miller gave every player in the AFC West a custom bottle of wine with a note saying what an honor it is to face them twice a year and thanking them for helping to make the game great.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Bethanie Mattek-Sands figures shell retire the stars and stripes socks and frame them with her gold medal.In an all-American mixed doubles final Sunday, Mattek-Sands and Jack Sock won the title as first-time Olympians. And they did it against an opponent who has won as many medals -- and as many golds -- as any tennis player in history.Mattek-Sands and Sock beat Venus Williams and Rajeev Ram to deny Williams a record fifth gold. With the silver, Williams still tied the Olympic mark with her fifth medal: Kathleen McKane also won five (one gold) in the 1920s.Williams owns one singles gold and three in doubles with sister Serena, but she was upset in the first round in Rio de Janeiro in both tournaments while battling a virus. Her Olympics were seemingly over since she wasnt originally expected to compete in mixed doubles.Ram, meanwhile, wasnt even originally supposed to be in Rio. The 32-year-old was added to his first Olympic roster a few days before the opening ceremony when the 2012 mens doubles gold medalists, Bob and Mike Bryan, withdrew.Sock was also sick before arriving in Rio -- he was diagnosed with walking pneumonia shortly before departing. And he, too, was upset in the first round in singles, sounding afterward more like a tourist than a medal contender.I wanted to enjoy the experience, soak it all up, he recalled Sunday.He wound up soaking up two medal ceremonies, also winning bronze with Steve Johnson in mens doubles.For the 31-year-old Mattek-Sands, who like Sock has won major titles in both doubles and mixed doubles, colorful knee-high socks are a signature fashion statement. The American flag set she wore Sunday was not an Olympic original -- she debuted them at a past U.S. Open.It was kind of a last-minute pack, she said. I was like, `You know what? I think this is the moment. If Im going to go hard-core USA, its going to be at the Olympics. So I pulled them out for the match today.Her playing partner couldnt help but make the obvious pun -- shed be framing some socks alongside a medal she won with a guy named Sock.ddddddddddddhey laughed and high-fived, and Mattek-Sands said, Its too perfect to actually not do that.The two American teams split the finals two sets, then Mattek-Sands and Sock won the match tiebreaker 10-7. It could have been the last Olympic outing of Williams career, though she wouldnt rule out a sixth games as a 40-year-old in 2020.Its totally about whether I want to be there, whether I want to continue to work this hard, she said.The same question was posed to Martina Hingis, who turns 36 next month and also lost in a final Sunday -- in womens doubles with Swiss teammate Timea Bacsinszky to Russians Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina by a score of 6-4, 6-4.Way back in 1997, Williams played in her first major final at the U.S. Open, defeated by Hingis. A year earlier, Hingis took part in the Atlanta Games -- and she hadnt been to another Olympics until now, two decades later.On Sunday, both Williams and Hingis won silver, the first career medal for the Swiss star -- a feat that takes on extra resonance after she repeatedly came out of retirement.When youre winning Grand Slams, No. 1 in the world, at 16, you think you have another 10 years at least at the top of the game, she said. Now I know its coming toward the end.How soon is the end? Hingis didnt want to talk about 2020 -- though Bacsinszky is trying to recruit her for the Tokyo Games.The Olympics were always a goal for Makarova and Vesnina, bigger than their two major titles together, they insisted. They took it so seriously that Makarova was crying when she didnt play well in practice.I just really wanted this medal and I was emotional: `Why am I not playing my best tennis right now? she recalled.They played their best tennis at the right time.
