Comment on Broncos Mailbag: Is sky really already falling after one preseason game?

Almost every Nuggets game is following the same exhausting blueprint, up to a point. Questionable sums of engagement put toward defending in the first half. A teaspoon of Nikola Jokic rest minutes that cause an upset stomach, at best. A deficit of 12 points (maybe 14 or 15) late in the second quarter or early in the third.

BUFFALO, N. Y. — Maybe the worst 12 minutes of the season will be a turning point for the Colorado Avalanche. Even if it isn’t, it did set up one of the wildest comebacks in recent franchise history. The Avs spotted the Buffalo Sabres a four-goal lead, still trailed by three after 40 minutes and then roared back for a 5-4 win Tuesday night at KeyBank Center. Nathan MacKinnon scored twice, Artturi Lehkonen added the game-winner and Scott Wedgewood made 22 saves in 48 minutes of shutout relief to help the Avs avoid what looked like an ugly start to this season-long five-game road trip. “After the first 12, it was pretty good,” MacKinnon said.

Four years ago, Zayne DeSouza was an out-of-shape, unmotivated 14-year-old whose primary obsession was video games. But after his oldest brother lit into him, DeSouza began his journey to becoming a rare in-state high school recruit by CU football head coach Deion Sanders. “He came home one day from practice just before his first game as a freshman, and he’s usually a quiet guy, but he got pretty mad because the coach wouldn’t move him from the line,” recalled Weston DeSouza, Zayne’s brother, who is 10 years his senior.

Under the direction of head coach Deion Sanders, the Colorado football program has gone through a remarkable transformation in two years, mainly bolstering the roster through the transfer portal. Sanders’ recruiting of the high school ranks has been underrated nationally, though, and on Wednesday – the two-year anniversary of his introductory press conference – the Buffs are set to sign one of the best groups in the Big 12 for the class of 2025.
