Comment on Giants rally to beat Rockies

Pat Surtain II isn’t just a Pro Bowl starter for the second time in his carer. Thursday he also was named the Demaryius Thomas Team MVP by the Denver chapter of the Pro Football Writers Association. Surtain is no stranger to PFWA recognition. He’s made the Pro Bowl three straight times, and he’s won the team MVP from local reporters who cover the team on a daily basis three straight times, as well. Outside linebacker Nik Bonitto, like Surtain a starter for the AFC in this year’s Pro Bowl Games, also received consideration from reporters for team MVP. Outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper, meanwhile, earned the Darrent Williams Good Guy Award from local reporters.

Scott Oberg, who made his mark with one of the gutsiest relief performances in Rockies history, has been hired as a special assistant in player development. Although the Rockies have not officially announced the hire, the club confirmed Thursday that Oberg will be a minor-league pitching coordinator. Oberg, 34, declined to comment about his new role until the Rockies make a formal announcement. For the last two seasons, the right-hander was a part-time pitching consultant.

Zach Allen is playing the best football of his career. He authored a dominant, 3.5-sack outing Saturday night at Cincinnati to raise his season total to 8.5. He’s been a constant on the field for the Broncos this fall, missing one game due to a heel injury but playing 90% of Denver’s defensive snaps in the other 15.
