South Korea and Japan are accustomed to the North’s frequent threats to attack.

    INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Hold your horses. The Broncos saw the light. And the Chargers gave them thunder. The Broncos are not yet playoff-bound for the first time since 2015.

  • Broncos’ four-game winning streak snapped, postseason aspirations delayed in penalty-marred, 34-27 loss to Chargers
    Denver Post, Thursday - 12/19/2024 - 11:29 PM

    INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Sean Payton never felt settled during the Broncos’ recent bye week. He said he never fully does. A few days with the prospect of more work ahead isn’t long enough to truly decompress. And the task is even tougher when you’re trying to end an eight-year playoff drought. As the Broncos returned to action ahead of a game against Indianapolis, he called out one area that he was particularly concerned about.

    Denver Post, Thursday - 12/19/2024 - 11:22 PM

    A look at how the Broncos’ rookies played in their 34-27 loss to the Chargers on Thursday night. Highlight: Kris Abrams-Draine was known for his ball skills at Missouri. That trait was on display in the second quarter when he read Justin Herbert’s pass perfectly and jumped in front of wide receiver Josh Palmer to secure his first career interception near the Broncos’ goal line.
