Broncos Defense Surprises In Week 11

The Denver Broncos Defense was pretty much left for dead after allowing 30-plus points four weeks in a row, but they turned things around to help pull out the 20-13 win over the Dolphins in Week 11.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was tied for the team lead in targets (eight) in the 20-13 Week 11 win over the Dolphins, but he reeled in just three of those eight targets for 37 yards. The targets were encouraging, as Jeudy has at least eight targets in each of his last four […]

Noah Fant Nothing Spectacular In Week 11

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant secured four of his five targets for 55 yards in the Week 11 win over the Dolphins. The Broncos running game dominated this contest, so the Denver offense didn't need to go to the air as much as they have in recent weeks while playing from behind. That didn't […]

The Baltimore Ravens are expected to sign former Jets cornerback Pierre Desir once he goes through the league's COVID-19 testing protocols, according to a source.

Cre'Von LeBlanc Likely Headed To Injured Reserve

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cre'Von LeBlanc (ankle) had an MRI exam show a second-degree high-ankle sprain, according to a source.
