ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Mike Palmateer Maple Leafs Jersey . -- No trip to the White House, diamond-encrusted rings or ticker tape parade. All the Denver Broncos have to show for their historic 2013 season is the heartache and humiliation of getting destroyed from the opening snap at the Super Bowl. The AFC champs aim to use that 43-8 shellacking by Seattle as motivation for 2014 starting Monday when they gather for the start of off-season workouts, stars Peyton Manning and Von Miller say. They realize what a daunting task awaits them as they try to become the first team since the 1972 Miami Dolphins to win the Super Bowl the year after losing it. Crews have turned the teams headquarters into a construction zone over the last three months with a makeover that will include the addition of an indoor practice complex, and, fittingly, general manager John Elway has taken a sledgehammer to his roster, too. Gone are veterans Champ Bailey, Robert Ayers, Eric Decker, Knowshon Moreno, Zane Beadles, Wesley Woodyard, Shaun Philips and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie along with Chris Kuper, who retired. Their departures made room for Aqib Talib, T.J. Ward, DeMarcus Ware and Emmanuel Sanders. Despite becoming the first NFL team to score more than 600 points, behind Mannings record 55 TD throws, the Broncos surrendered a whopping 24.9 points a game -- 25.3 if you count the playoffs -- and Elway focused on fixing that this off-season. He added two thumpers in the secondary and Miller will be back from a torn ACL, while refusing to re-sign players who would have cost him too much to keep around. After all, big paydays loom for the likes of Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas. Both of them attended Mannings annual week of workouts at Duke recently along with Wes Welker, Bubba Caldwell and Sanders. "Thats kind of the new rules now. You have to go off-campus in early April in order to get some work with your receivers," Manning said. "It was a good kick-start to the off-season." Manning also created a bit of a stir by heading to Tuscaloosa, Ala., a couple of weeks ago to pick the brain of Alabama coach Nick Saban, who in turn picked up pointers from the five-time MVP on the hurry-up offence that has so troubled the Crimson Tide of late. Because Broncos offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase, who got his coaching start under Saban back in the 1990s, visited Alabamas football facilities at the same time, the NFL is looking into the matter. League rules prohibit players and their coaches from meeting before the start of off-season workouts. Saban told The Denver Post, however, that he never met with Gase and Manning at the same time, other than to say pleasantries. The first two weeks of voluntary off-season workouts at NFL team headquarters are limited to strength and conditioning and rehabilitation activities. After that, on-field instruction in allowed. A lot of players have already been working out at Dove Valley, including Miller, left tackle Ryan Clady (foot) and cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (knee), all of whom were sideline spectators at the Super Bowl. Even though he realizes many Broncos fans would just as soon forget the Super Bowl, Miller doesnt share their sentiments. "I wouldnt want to get the sour taste out too quick because the year before we lost to the Ravens and that pushed us this last season. And the Super Bowl this year I think it will just push us more," Miller said. "We were right there. We were right on the edge of it and all the guys have been putting in that extra 1 per cent in and hopefully itll pay off for us this coming season." Frederik Gauthier Maple Leafs Jersey . And by all indications, the team is expected to select phenom Connor McDavid with their selection. The Buffalo Sabres, who were knocked down to the second overall pick after finishing with the worst regular season record, are expected to take the other generational player in Jack Eichel.

"Since the trade deadline theyve been a pretty good offensive team," Matthews said, "but that doesnt excuse us. Weve got to come out with more urgency." Mo Williams had a season-high 23 points off the bench for Portland and Lillard, who got off to a slow start, had 20 points -- 15 of which came in the fourth quarter and overtime.

"Theres nothing wrong with going into the game thinking youre going to win," Lillard said. "But thats an NBA team over there."

Lopez appeared to tip in a shot, but the basket was waived off as boos filled the Moda Center. Sessions missed two of four free throws before Lillards layup tied it again at 98 with 4.9 seconds on the clock.
