In Brief: Top Poets To Be Picked In Norman

OFFENSE — A Sean Payton had the Denver offense ready to roll from the start. He had a nifty fake reverse in his bag and deployed it perfectly as soon as the Broncos got solidly into Chiefs territory. Bo Nix started hot and stayed that way through the entire first half, plenty of time to build a comfortable lead against a Kansas City team that looked like it had turned its attention to divisional weekend before they even landed in Colorado.

A look at how the Broncos’ rookies played in their 38-0 win over the Chiefs on Sunday. Highlight: A game of hot potato in the back of the end zone led to Bo Nix’s third touchdown pass of the first half.

The blockade forced the fleeing driver to stop and turn himself over to police, investigators said. Around 11:30 p.m.
