Broncos Lose Cornerback for Playoffs, and Secondary Could Be Vulnerable Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. is out for the rest of the playoffs with a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee. "There's no doubt he's one of our better performers on defense throughout this season," Coach John Fox said Monday. Harris had 65 tackles, three interceptions and 15 pass breakups, all career highs. Harris was injured in the third quarter of Denver's 24-17 win over San Diego on Sunday. After he left, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers staged a comeback by focusing on Harris's rusty replacement, the veteran Quentin Jammer. Fox would not say if Jammer would start against New England in the A.F.C. championship game. The Broncos could also turn to Champ Bailey, a 12-time Pro Bowler who returned from a foot injury last month, or the rookie Kayvon Webster, who is playing with a cast on his right thumb, which he broke in two places a month ago. Harris is the fifth defensive starter the Broncos have lost this season. TITANS HIRE WHISENHUNT The Tennessee Titans hired the Chargers" offensive coordinator, Ken Whisenhunt, as their new coach. The Titans president, Tommy Smith, cited Whisenhunt's history of building successful offenses. Whisenhunt, 51, who coached the Arizona Cardinals for six seasons and led them to their first Super Bowl, had also interviewed with Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns. The Titans fired Mike Munchak on Jan. 4.OH, OMAHA! Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning shouted "Omaha" loudly and often while calling signals Sunday. According to an NFL.com video montage, Manning barked "Omaha" 44 times before the ball was snapped. All that attention caused Omaha, Nebraska's largest city, to be a trending topic on Twitter during the game. The Greater Omaha Convention and Visitors Bureau jumped aboard, tweeting: "We certainly appreciate all the love from Peyton Manning:) " Words like "Omaha" are sometimes a signal for the offense to change a play, although they sometimes mean nothing. David Brown, chief executive of the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce, said he wanted to explore hiring Manning to shoot a promotional ad for Omaha. PACKERS STUDY TICKET SALES The Green Bay Packers said they were reviewing their postseason ticket sales policy. The Packers had trouble selling out their home wild-card game against the San Francisco 49ers. Sponsors stepped in to buy the remaining tickets, ensuring the game would not be blacked out in most Wisconsin markets. The Packers offered postseason tickets to season ticket holders around Thanksgiving when the team was struggling and without quarterback Aaron Rodgers. The policy required the purchase of two possible home playoff games. Any games were to be credited to next year's season ticket purchase. COLLUSION CLAIM TO BE HEARD A court hearing on Tuesday will consider a claim by the NFL Players Association that the league colluded to set a secret salary cap in 2010. Representatives from the N.F.L. and the players association will make oral arguments before a three-judge panel of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit.
