Comment on Rockies’ All-Star catcher Elias Diaz: “The Crazy Man” with a big smile

Here’s a look at whose stock improved or declined after the Broncos’ 41-32 win over the Browns on Monday night. Stock Up LT Garett Bolles: In Round 5 against Browns star edge rusher Myles Garrett, Bolles had the upper hand. In 14 matchups, Denver’s starting left tackle only gave up one pressure against Garrett.

Marvin Mims Jr. took off out of the slot, ripped up the middle of the field toward the Broncos’ south end zone at Empower Field and came open just as Bo Nix cut loose a throw. The ball hit the turf harmlessly and Mims looked to the sky after the latest in a string of what-could-have-been moments. This, of course, was not the 93-yard thunderbolt of a touchdown that the pair hooked up on Monday night against Cleveland. This was near the end of the first half of a Week 8 win against Carolina, in the depths of Mims’ frustrating first half of the season. Mims had originally been coached to try to run past the safeties and then look for the ball.

Nik Bonitto warned people that he could play in coverage. Denver’s edge rusher played safety during his senior season at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. And even though his experience at defensive back was minimal, Bonitto was certain he could cover if called upon. An opportunity to showcase those skills came about in the second quarter against the Browns on Monday night. Browns quarterback Jameis Winston thought he had a wide-open Jordan Akins for a check-down throw in the flat.

Jerry Jeudy is a boo-liever in Broncos Country again. “I loved it,” the Cleveland Browns’ WR1 and 2020 Broncos first-round draft pick said late Monday of the catcalls from Denver fans while his old team pulled out a wacky, wild 41-32 win. “They only boo you when they know that something’s gonna happen, and there’s something great in you.” He was great, wasn’t he?
