Wheldon Crash Investigation Picks Up Speed

In what was supposed to be their first scheduled loss of the season, the Nuggets refused to accept that label. Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon out due to injuries. Against an undefeated opponent. An undefeated opponent that already crushed Denver at Ball Arena this season on opening night. Somehow, still, the short-handed Nuggets roared back from down 16 in the second half to hand Oklahoma City its first loss of the season, 124-122. Michael Porter Jr.

The plan is audacious. The confidence is contagious. And the idea of the Broncos upsetting the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs is outrageous. Step one: Arrive at Hee-Haw Stadium and embrace the chaos. Step two: Seize the moment, in between chops and chants and CBS cutaways to Taylor Swift. Step three: Have Bo Nix deliver the most efficient outing in the biggest game of his NFL career. Wait, what?

There was a sense of joy on Jonathon Cooper’s face that a 31-point loss couldn’t take away. The Broncos starting edge rusher solidified his place in the team’s future, signing a four-year, $60 million contract extension that the team announced on Tuesday. For Cooper, Denver’s belief in him was just as important as the contract value. “It humbles me,” Cooper said after Wednesday’s practice.
