A look at how the Broncos’ rookies played in their 31-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon. Highlight: Broncos rookie cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine stepped up in a big way with Riley Moss unavailable. As the Colts marched down the field during the closing seconds of the first half, the fifth-round pick broke up quarterback Anthony Richardson’s deep pass to wideout Alec Pierce in the end zone.

OFFENSE — D The Broncos’ offensive plan was off-kilter from the start. Bo Nix didn’t just throw three interceptions. He threw a trio of stinkers. Almost no quarterback goes an entire season without a true dud, let alone a rookie, so there’s no reason to fully panic for the Broncos. But the outing combined with Denver’s complete lack of a run game against a leaky Indianapolis run defense is cause enough for concern.

Initial thoughts from the Broncos’ 31-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15 at Empower Field at Mile High: Defensive false start: Riley Moss can’t be that important can he? The results over the first five quarters of the second-year cornerback’s absence — 35 first downs and 674 yards for 42 points from the start of the Browns game to the first seven seconds of Sunday’s second quarter — weren’t very encouraging.

WASHINGTON — Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who had polio as a child, says any of President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees seeking Senate confirmation should “steer clear” of efforts to discredit the polio vaccine. “Efforts to undermine public confidence in proven cures are not just uninformed — they’re dangerous,” McConnell said in a statement Friday.

By BIANCA VÁZQUEZ TONESS and DAVE COLLINS BOSTON — After weeks of fear and bewilderment about the drones buzzing over parts of New York and New Jersey, elected officials are urging action to identify and stop the mysterious flights. “There’s a lot of us who are pretty frustrated right now,” Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said on “Fox News Sunday.” “’We don’t know’ is not a good enough answer,” he said. National security officials have said the drones don’t appear to be a sign of foreign interference or a public safety threat.
