ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Nasty, hard-hitting, wicked. Sure. But dirty? No way, say the Denver Broncos.I just dont think thats what we are, linebacker Todd Davis said. Were not malicious. We dont intentionally go to hurt anybody. We just play hard. We play physical.About all those helmet-to-helmet hits on Cam Newton, then ...Just because we hit Cam in the head a couple of times, that doesnt make us dirty, insisted linebacker Brandon Marshall, who had one of four helmet-to-helmet hits on Carolinas big quarterback in the Broncos 21-20 win over the Panthers on Thursday night.The brutality of the game sparked debates over league safety, sideline concussion protocol, the ability of the NFL MVP to survive, much less continue to thrive, as a read-option QB and yes, whether Denvers devastating defense crossed the line from dominant to dirty.Although none of the helmet hits on Newton resulted in penalty yardage and none got him checked for a concussion, Marshall said hes expecting a FedEx letter in his locker Wednesday informing him of a hefty fine.Safety Darian Stewart, whose helmet-to-helmet hit left Newton motionless on the ground in the games final minute, is bracing for such a letter, too. His hit drew a flag but it was negated by intentional grounding.The other helmet-to-helmet hits came from Super Bowl MVP Von Miller and cornerback Bradley Roby, who was fined $24,309 for his illegal hit on Rams receiver Duke Williams in an Aug. 27 exhibition game -- a sizable forfeiture given that NFL veterans make $1,900 a week in the preseason.Marshall said what he considers a dirty play is stepping on somebodys ankle at the bottom of a pile, twisting somebody around, something like that. We just play hard. We hit hard. We play fast. ... Its the speed of the game. Were a malicious group, but were not dirty.Marshall said the word dirty should only be used when a team deliberately breaks the rules.Yeah, dirty is intentional, Marshall said. One time I was in college man and I made a tackle and I saw a player from Utah State run around the pile. Im on the ground still. He ran around the pile, he grabbed my ankle, stepped on it and twisted it. Thats dirty. We dont do stuff like that.Marshall said he meant to hit Newton hard but not in the head, and Stewart said he thought he led with his shoulder on his big hit.If fined, Stewart said, Im definitely going to appeal. I didnt think it was that type of play.Broncos coach Gary Kubiak also dismissed the notion of his defense being dirty, saying, We play hard. Were going to continue to play hard.Kubiak called Newton the leagues best player and said when he leaves the pocket, you better tackle him like a (running) back.Marshall said other teams will be hitting Newton the same way, too, because hes like a defensive end barreling down on defenders and the only way for a smaller safety or linebacker to bring him down is to go high or low.Denver defensive end Derek Wolfe said the league should be looking at the Panthers O-linemen for their dirty play. He told Bleacher Report the Panthers were cutting out legs, grabbing the facemask, grabbing our pads, tackling our legs ... they just let these offensive linemen get away with murder.Wolfe said Miller was in a full Nelson wrestling hold on one play and Carolina wasnt whistled for holding.Cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said nobody should have been surprised that the Broncos clobbered Newton they way they did.Were getting called dirty? Did they not watch the 2015 Broncos? They act like theyve never seen us play, Harris said. Thats how we won the Super Bowl .The Broncos crossed the line aplenty last season, when they were the leagues most heavily fined team, and well be fined again, Harris said.He wondered whether the Panthers guards would also face fines for their actions Thursday night. Trai Turner drew a 15-yard taunting penalty for getting in the cornerbacks face after Harris surrendered Kevin Benjamins TD in the first half. And Andrew Norwell drew a 15-yard unnecessary roughness flag for jumping on Harris after his fourth-quarter interception.So, can you not say they were targeting me? Harris asked. I could have broken my ribs with a 300-pound guy jumping on top of me. They were targeting me.

AUSTIN, Texas -- As promised, Lewis Hamilton had his phone ready for a picture. Only this time, he handed it off to Romain Grosjean to do the honors.Two weeks after criticism of his behavior during the drivers news conference in Japan sparked a feud with some media, the Mercedes driver welcomed all questions at the U.S. Grand Prix with an eye toward poking fun at his critics.Drivers are rarely asked to attend the Thursday news conference in consecutive weeks. Hamilton served notice as soon he arrived that he would own the next 40 minutes when he placed his phone on the desk in front of him .Hamilton had drawn sharp criticism in Japan for taking pictures and playing with Snapchat filters during the news conference. This time, he turned around to Grosjean in the back row, handed him his phone and had the Haas F1 driver take a picture of Hamilton and Ferraris Sebastian Vettel with the packed room of reporters and photographers behind them.Hamilton noted he waited until the initial round of questions reached every other driver, so as not to disrespect anyonne else.ddddddddddddIts a good picture. Youre all in it, Hamilton said.Grosjean laughed about playing Hamiltons photographer.I took a picture with a brand Im not allowed to touch because Im a Microsoft ambassador. I may get in trouble for that, Grosjean saidHamilton took the bulk of the questions during the news conference which ranged from his chances of catching teammate Nico Rosberg for the season championship -- he trails by 33 points with four races left -- to blocking some reporters from his social media accounts.Hamilton, who is very active on several social media platforms said, I dont actually manage every part of my social media.I have a couple of other people that do. My general approach is, if you see something, if you see someone generally talking smack, then you kind of cut it, Hamilton said. I dont really know who has been blocked ... I think its a lot of people. It wasnt just media ... It was a blocking spree.
