Austin Gomber Sparkles In Rockies’ 3-1 Win Over Nationals

The Rockies have shown some occasional growth spurts lately. Emphasis on occasional. Over the weekend, they won two of three games in Milwaukee to capture just their third road series win of the season. But their growth has been stunted in Motown against a red-hot Tigers team still hunting for a wild-card playoff berth.

Mims the word. The Broncos feature an offense devoid of playmakers and their fastest, most dynamic weapon remains on mute. Jerry Jeudy is gone. So, what in the (bleep) is going on with Marvin Mims Jr.? With a single explosive pass in Seattle to Mims, the Broncos would have upset the Seahawks. We were told Mims would have an expanded role this season.

Bo Nix searches for the beauty behind the madness of his rookie debut. The Broncos starting quarterback doesn’t dwell on the two interceptions or throwing for only 138 yards on 42 attempts in a loss to Seattle in Week 1.

CU (1-1) will visit in-state rival Colorado State (1-1) in Fort Collins on Saturday (5:30 p.m., CBS) and the offensive line will be in the spotlight again. In the wake a 28-10 loss at Nebraska last Saturday, head coach Deion Sanders expressed his belief in the offensive line unit on Tuesday, saying, “I feel like we got the right guys.” That doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll be the same guys that have played the first two games, though, as he quickly added, “You may see us shake something up a little bit.” Related Articles College Sports | Keeler: Run the ball, Ralphie!

Denver rookie running back Audric Estime’s debut hit a speed bump after three snaps. The fifth-round draft pick carried twice for 14 yards Sunday against Seattle but played sparingly. Then Wednesday the Broncos placed him on injured reserve with an ankle injury. Estime is not expected to have surgery, a source said, but the IR placement means he’ll miss a minimum of four games.
