Chiefs Qb Patrick Mahomes Has High-ankle Sprain, Status For Houston Remains Unclear, Ap Source Says

Pat Surtain II provided optimism a day after leaving the Broncos’ 31-13 win over the Colts with an ankle injury. “It’s better. I’m taking it day by day,” the starting cornerback said Monday at Raising Canes in Aurora, where he gave away 100 children’s bikes and helmets to members of A Precious Child, which provides opportunities and resources to Colorado children. Surtain injured his ankle after he intercepted quarterback Anthony Richardson in the final minutes of Sunday’s game at Empower Field at Mile High.

In a game of wild, mind-boggling mistakes and several game-turning moments, this play flew under the radar Sunday in Denver’s 31-13 win over Indianapolis.

They helped make CU football relevant again, turning a dormant program into must-see TV for two seasons.

Bo Nix didn’t play his best Sunday against Indianapolis. In fact, he played arguably his worst since a rain-soaked, Week 3 outing against the New York Jets in which he had minus-7 yards at halftime. Nix’s 130 yards were fewer than any game since then, as was his 3.9 yards per attempt.

Here’s a look at which stock improved or declined after the Broncos’ 31-13 win over the Colts on Sunday. Stock Up Safety Brandon Jones: Denver’s starting safety has done a solid job of filling the void left behind by Justin Simmons, with the Broncos’ win over Indianapolis another reminder. Jones didn’t allow a reception on four targets in 37 coverage snaps, according to NFL’s Next Gen Stats.

By DAVE SKRETTA KANSAS CITY, Mo.
