Comment on Renck: It’s October. Raiders defense stinks. It’s time for Bo Nix to deliver his best performance

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Maybe the NBA Cup just means more. Or maybe the Nuggets realized they needed to approach the final game of their three-game road trip with better effort after getting crushed by the Grizzlies’ physicality two days earlier. Jamal Murray bounced back Tuesday with 27 points, Russell Westbrook became the first player in NBA history to record 200 career triple-doubles, and the Nuggets held off a furious late comeback to end their trip along the Mississippi River with a 122-110 win over the Grizzlies. ” think I didn’t really do much today,” Murray said.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Nuggets forward Vlatko Cancar exited a game against the Grizzlies with a sprained left knee on Tuesday night and did not return. Cancar finished a driving dunk in the second quarter and immediately struggled to put weight on his left leg. He asked for a sub while reaching for his left knee — the same knee in which he tore his ACL in 2023, causing him to miss all of last season. The Nuggets officially ruled Cancar out at halftime. He was dealing with a right ankle injury early this season but was cleared to play at the beginning of the three-game road trip that ended Tuesday.

Quinn Meinerz was the perfect bodyguard to pave Troy Franklin’s path to the goal line. In the third quarter against the Falcons, the Broncos faced a second-and-goal from Atlanta’s 7-yard line when quarterback Bo Nix quickly threw a screen pass to Denver’s rookie wide receiver — and Meinerz turned into a bully. The big belly right guard held off inside linebacker Kaden Elliss with his left arm, and when he spotted safety Jessie Bates III attempting to close in, he dropped Bates to the ground to help Franklin score the second touchdown of his young NFL career. While Nix’s four-touchdown performance dominated the discussion after Denver’s 38-6 win over Atlanta last Sunday, the offensive masterclass also offered more evidence that Denver’s offensive line has transformed into a formidable front. “The offensive line is playing at a really high level,” Nix said.
