Adam Trautman’s Career Day Part Of Breakout Performance For Broncos Tight Ends

Nate Adkins was certain he was going to catch his second touchdown of the afternoon. Deep in Carolina territory in the second quarter, the second-year Broncos tight end found himself all alone near the right sideline. But Bo Nix had other plans. The rookie quarterback fired the ball down the seam to fellow tight end Adam Trautman, who made a stunning one-handed catch in the end zone to give Denver a 14-7 lead with 6:51 left in the first half. “I was wide open going down the sideline and was like ‘Oh my god.

From the 15th row behind the goalposts, a young boy stands and flexes his muscles. A game day giveaway Lucha Libre mask covers his face and a Bo Nix jersey hangs loosely over his shoulders. Several seats over, a rectangular navy blue banner shimmers in the afternoon sunlight above Section 133, “You’re In Broncos Country,” it screams. Full-throttle cheers, a head coach yelling at an opponent, home-field dominance — this is what the beginning of a new era looks like. Fans, including a mini Barrel Man, cheer on the Broncos during the first quarter at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver on Sunday, Oct.

Courtland Sutton’s hands had that old glitter again. But his arm? The arm was pure gold. “Yeah, I mean, shoot, it was something that once we had started practicing it during the week, I was like, ‘All right, feel good about it,'” the veteran Broncos wide receiver said Sunday after his first 100-yard receiving game in nearly two years.

Rubber, meet road. The Broncos hadn’t even finished off a decisive, 28-14 win against Carolina on Sunday and coach Sean Payton already had his mind in the future.

Payton knew what this game against the Panthers was: The next one on the schedule.

Nik Bonitto’s name is starting to get mentioned with Von Miller — and for good reason. In Denver’s 28-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday, the third-year edge rusher recorded a sack for the sixth straight game, tying for the third-longest sack streak in club history dating back to 1982. It’s the longest since 2018 when Miller accomplished the same feat. “Coaches have a good rush plan every week for us,” Bonitto told The Denver Post.
