It takes a lot to overwhelm Charlie Blackmon. Blazing fastballs rarely did. Neither did the intense pressure of big-league baseball. But Sunday afternoon’s festivities at Coors Field in front of a sellout crowd of 48,320 fans left the Rockies’ four-time All-Star outfielder gobsmacked. “This exceeded my wildest expectations, and it’s just been incredible for me and my family,” the 38-year-old Blackmon said after playing the 1,624th and final game of his career in a 2-1 loss to the Dodgers. Blackmon’s going-away party included words of adulation, video tributes (from former Rockies greats Nolan Arenado, Trevor Story, Todd Helton and Walt Weiss), multiple standing ovations and goosebumps aplenty.

Down by two points in the fourth quarter against the New York Jets on Sunday, Javonte Williams turned back the clock. On first-and-10 with 13:34 to go, the Broncos running back sliced through a hole for a 9-yard gain. On the next play, he went around the right side for another 9 yards.
