Broncos’ recipe isn’t fancy, but they’ve finally figured out it can be an award-winner: “It’s not just our room believing in us anymore. It’s time to go.”

Denver grows more cosmopolitan by the year, but what the Broncos have cooking up isn’t likely to earn any attention from the fancy folk at Michelin.On the menu these days at Casa Sean Payton: Meat. Potatoes. And a fresh-baked pile of turnovers every weekend.Slowly but surely, Payton and the Broncos offense have learned to eat their vegetables.Vance Joseph’s defense will stick to your ribs or, more often than not, plow right through them.The whole refrigerator of ingredients nearly spoiled in the September heat. They’re not exactly the most stocked pantry in the NFL. And it took a long time for the kitchen to find its rhythm. But at the tail end of Thanksgiving weekend, this team put together its most satisfying meal yet: A big, bad, rugged 29-12 victory over Cleveland.The ingredient list:The Broncos out-gained the Browns on the ground, 169-107.They held the Cleveland offense to 2 of 13 on third down and converted 6 of 14 themselves.They took the ball away three more times — th...

Nikola Jokic, Nuggets bounce back against Spurs in Victor Wembanyama’s first visit to Denver

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:35:48 GMT

Not even the terrifyingly territorial wingspan of Victor Wembanyama can enter the House of Jokic and prevail.When the Nuggets need a win — and they needed one badly Sunday — Ball Arena is their old reliable, always waiting for them with open arms back at altitude. They are 8-0 at home this season after a 132-120 rout of the Spurs in Wembanyama’s first visit to the Front Range.The highly touted rookie registered 22 points, 11 rebounds, four blocks and six steals, but Nikola Jokic managed to win the opening tip against all 7 feet and 4 inches of Wembanyama, foreshadowing the next two hours. Jokic piled up an efficient 39 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists to hand San Antonio its 12th consecutive loss.The Nuggets’ only three wins in the last eight games have come against teams with losing streaks of five or more games. But but never mind the opponent: They needed this one coming out of a 1-4 road trip that ended with group stage elimination from the in-season ...

Keeler: Broncos LT Garett Bolles 1, Myles Garrett 0. As in, zero sacks for Cleveland Browns’ All-Pro defender. “You’ve just got to keep swinging.”

Garett 1, Garrett 0.As in, zero sacks.“I think Garett Bolles is a hell of a player,” former Broncos defensive lineman Shelby Harris, now raising Cain for Cleveland, told me after Denver’s fifth straight win.“This will be a (game) No. 72 remembers for a long time,” Broncos right tackle Mike McGlinchey added, “because he had a hell of a night.”Myles Garrett, Cleveland’s one-man wrecking crew, Von Miller’s engine in Paul Milsap’s frame, came into Empower Field averaging 1.3 sacks a game, tops in the NFL.The big defensive end left with no takedowns and with his shoulder in a sling. And Bolles, the Broncos’ veteran left tackle, did the bulk of the pitching in what was just Garrett’s third shutout in 11 games this season. And only the Cleveland star’s sixth shutout over his last 23 tilts.“First off, that dude is a freak of nature,” Bolles said after helping keep Russell Wilson clean in the Broncos...

With Kareem Jackson suspended, Broncos safety P.J. Locke carries hard-hitting mentality in win over Browns

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:35:48 GMT

Broncos safety P.J. Locke was hitting folks.The Cleveland Browns faced a fourth-and-14 in the fourth quarter when Locke lined up like he was playing man coverage on tight end David Njoku. The disguise worked as Locke flew into the backfield undetected by the Browns’ offensive line and backup quarterback P.J. Walker, whom he strip-sacked before linebacker Alex Singleton recovered the ball.The hit was a fitting conclusion to Locke’s day in the Broncos’ 29-12 win over the Browns on Sunday, one he wasn’t even sure he’d be able to play in 24 hours earlier due to an ankle injury.Locke didn’t miss a step, however, as he made big plays and delivered hits that could be felt in the suite level at Empower Field — including one that could’ve been costly had he and the Denver defense not responded with five straight stops to close out the game.“(Locke) is a baller, man,” Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II said. “When his (name) gets called upon, he is always go...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:35:48 GMT

KILLINGTON, Vt. — Mikaela Shiffrin has extended her record of World Cup wins to 90.And she has done so in style.The American two-time Olympic champion dominated a slalom Sunday, pleasing the home crowd by posting the fastest time in both runs on the Superstar course and beating her Slovakian rival Petra Vlhova by 0.33 seconds.“It’s amazing to do this, especially here, with the home crowd,” said Shiffrin, who is from Colorado but can almost consider Killington a hometown race because she honed her skills nearby at the Burke Mountain Academy as a teenager.“It’s just such a good vibe and there’s a little extra intensity because we want this to be good for you guys to watch. I hope it was a good show,” she addressed the spectators in a course-side interview.Shiffrin was put to the test by a frenetic second run from Vlhova, the Olympic champion who led the race by more than a second with only the American left in the start gate.Shiffrin lost half of her first-run lead of 0.28 secon...
