Mosley, Mora Fight To Draw At Staples Center

Sean Payton wants the biggest spotlight there is. When the league asked Denver’s head coach if he wanted his team’s upcoming road matchup against the Chargers to be flexed into Thursday night, three days earlier than originally scheduled, he didn’t hesitate. When it was announced Tuesday that the Broncos will play Cincinnati on Saturday, Dec.

Don’t take the wag out of the puppy’s tail. Nobody wants Sean Payton to become too conservative with Bo Nix. He needs enough leash to make plays. However, there remains a middle ground where the coach trusts Nix, while the quarterback regains his rhythm. By any measure, Nix has exceeded expectations this season with 20 passing touchdowns, making him only the second Broncos quarterback to reach this mark since 2014.

Colorado State and Utah State have filed a lawsuit saying the Mountain West is engaging in “extraordinary and unauthorized actions” to penalize the five schools leaving the conference for the Pac-12. Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State, Colorado State and Utah State announced in September they planned to join the Pac-12 in 2026.

The source spoke on condition of anonymity because negotiations are not yet complete. The winning bid group, publicly known as “For Denver FC,” beat out fellow finalists cities Cincinnati and Cleveland to secure the expansion franchise.

BOULDER — When Deion Sanders sees Julian Lewis behind center, he sees his son. And that sounds like music to Buffs fans’ ears. “The similarities are unbelievable,” Coach Prime said during a news conference late Tuesday morning at CU’s Champions Center. Lewis, the prep quarterback out of Carrollton, Ga., is the jewel — so far — of Sanders’ 2025 prep recruiting haul.
