Broncos Defense Holds Chargers To 19 Points

The Denver Broncos defense is definitely the strength of this team, because the offense certainly isn't holding up their end of the deal through six weeks. While the Broncos D looked great once again in holding the Los Angeles Chargers to 19 points in a Monday night loss in overtime, they once again didn't do […]

Brandon McManus Has Solid Game Against Chargers

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus benefitted once again in the Monday night loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers in a game in which the Broncos offense only scored one touchdown.

Jackson to a five-year, $82.5 million deal in free agency in March, but Jackson hasn't lived up to that contract through the first six weeks of the 2022 season.

Dolphins Listening On Mike Gesicki

The Miami Dolphins are in the "we're willing to listen" phase with tight end Mike Gesicki, according to sources, but they aren't quite shopping him to other teams.

The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers have been implicated in Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey's trade market.

Latavius Murray Leads Broncos Backfield In Debut

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam is a healthy inactive in Week 6 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night.
