Broncos’ offensive dud vs. Steelers has Sean Payton already rethinking offensive approach: “That starts with me. I’m the one cal

Bo Nix liked the Broncos’ plan for Pittsburgh before kickoff. Sean Payton soured on it before the Steelers’ suffocation of Denver’s offense was complete Sunday afternoon at Empower Field. Patience with the run game? The ability to go deep into the playbook? A grind-it-out, field-position battle there for the taking? All of that deteriorated faster than an afternoon that started with 80 degrees and sun and finished with clouds swirling and wind howling through uprights that only saw two measly Broncos field goals in a 13-6 dud. Take Our Poll (function(d,c,j){if(!d.getElementById(j)){var pd=d.createElement(c),s;pd.id=j;pd.src='https://www.denverpost.com/wp-content/plugins/polldaddy/js/polldaddy-shortcode.js';s=d.getElementsByTagName(c)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(pd,s);} else if(typeof jQuery !=='undefined')jQuery(d.body).trigger('pd-script-load');}(document,'script','pd-polldaddy-loader')); The Broncos are 0-2 with back-to-back road games ahead and a work week in West Virginia nestled in between.

  • Softball: Lyons’ star pitcher and catcher leaning on over a decade of camaraderie
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 09/18/2024 - 05:02 PM

    Lyons High School may be small, but the level of talent it possesses on the softball field has the Lions swinging like a heavyweight. The departure of last year’s ace, Ceci Chiaravalle, would have crippled a normal program in the year that followed. Chiaravalle led the entire state with 255 strikeouts through 23 games, and served as the catalyst toward the Lions winning regionals and earning a bid to the 3A state tournament. Her sophomore successor, Gretta Wynja, already has 126 strikeouts through 14 appearances, ranking her 13th in the nation and No.

  • Keeler: CSU Rams are gone, Air Force may be next. But Wyoming Cowboys should stand with Mountain West, ex commissioner says
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 09/18/2024 - 08:00 AM

    John Griffin ran from denial to acceptance in 4.4 flat. Griffin, the former Wyoming wide receiver, longtime Denverite, stalwart humanitarian and one of the Cowboys’ iconic “Black 14,” read about the reported collapse of the Mountain West and spun out of anger’s arm tackle. He juked bargaining. He trucked depression. “First off, I thought, ‘That’s interesting,'” the ex-Pokes wideout said of CSU’s leap to the Pac-12 late last week.

  • Softball: Kianna Butler pitching Niwot to its best start since 2012
    Denver Post, Tuesday - 09/17/2024 - 09:03 PM

    NIWOT — Don’t let Kianna Butler’s ingenuous smile fool you on the softball field. She’s imagining putting you into her pitching blender. The Niwot senior has thrown like an all-state pitcher through the first month of the fall season — and it’s a major reason why the Cougars can imagine big things in their near future. Second in the state in strikeouts, her swing-and-whiff stuff was on full display in a 7-0 win over Monarch on Tuesday afternoon. “I think she feels more at home here now,” Niwot coach Bobby Matthews said of his ace, who moved from Arizona to Niwot last year.
