Broncos report card: Nothing good vs. Lions for Denver, which now needs to ace a three-week run of final exams

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:12:25 GMT

Offense – FThe Broncos went right down the field to start the game and turned it over at the edge of the red zone.  Later, they got stuffed in yet another goal-to-go situation. In between, they mustered a touchdown, a couple of big plays and zero semblance of rhythm. And these weren’t exactly the ’85 Bears they were going against, either. Detroit entered 24th in scoring defense and had given up an average of 29.8 points per game over their past five. All the same, the Broncos mustered just 75 first-half yards and didn’t get on the board until the third quarter.Coach Sean Payton and quarterback Russell Wilson have to find more consistent ways to move the ball. The powerful run game that developed midseason has backtracked. Denver’s too reliant on big plays. The red zone and goal-to-go situations continue to be a sore spot. Plenty to figure out and not much time to do so.Defense – FYeah, Vance Joseph’s group got hung out to dry in the first half. They had to defend 18-plus minut...

Road-weary Broncos turned to road kill in blowout, prime-time loss at Detroit: “In the NFL sometimes you just get your (butt) kicked”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:12:25 GMT

DETROIT — The Broncos hoped to prove themselves road warriors in the Motor City.Instead, road kill.Sean Payton’s team, playing its third straight December game away from home, ran out of gas in the first half Saturday night and watched the Lions roll on by, clear into the postseason.The Broncos have a lot of work to do in order to reach the same destination after a 42-17 loss here.They’re going to have to find offensive consistency, which has disappeared in recent weeks.They’re going to have to find better ways to combat speed, which the Lions flashed in spades.Put simply, they’re going to have to win their final three games from 7-7.That’s not impossible by any stretch of the imagination, considering they will come against teams with losing records, back-up quarterbacks and little to play for.But the margin for error is now reduced to zero.“We’ve got three more games to go and if we win those three I think we’ll be in pretty good position,” right tackl...

Stephen Curry’s big fourth quarter sends Warriors past Nets 124-120 to end three-game skid

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:12:25 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Brooklyn called timeout, unable to stop Stephen Curry, then the two-time MVP and injured teammate Gary Payton II looked right at each other and both released a celebratory roar.Perhaps some pent-up emotion came out in that moment, too, after quite a tough week for the Golden State Warriors. They were losing, and they had lost fiery forward and defensive force Draymond Green to an indefinite suspension.They needed this, big time — and Curry showed up, big time.He scored 12 straight fourth-quarter points on the way to 37, Klay Thompson added 24 points with back-to-back timely 3-pointers in the closing minutes, and Golden State snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the Brooklyn Nets 124-120 on Saturday night.“Steph was sublime down the stretch. That was unreal,” coach Steve Kerr said. “We’ve seen him do this over and over again but it never ceases to amaze me what that guy is capable.”Thompson is determined to do more to take the scoring load off Curr...
