Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:49:30 GMT

Stock UpS Justin SimmonsThe Broncos safety has been a turnover-forcing machine in recent years and he got his first of 2023 with an early interception against Patrick Mahomes on Thursday night. He’s capable of going on binges and Denver could really use one right about now. Simmons’ name isn’t going to stop coming up in trade talks until either he’s moved or the Oct. 31 deadline passes. A franchise staple, he’s starting to look like he’s playing healthy.Run game – kind ofPart of the shame of Denver’s complete lack of passing offense Thursday night is that the running game looked potent. The Broncos ran it early and often, but by the second half trailed 16-0 and had to get away from it some. They totaled 115 yards and 5.0 yards per carry but weren’t able to lean on the run game in the second half because of the goose egg on the scoreboard. Denver hasn’t had 20 non-quarterback runs in a game since its opener.DL Zach AllenAllen’s production has been hit-and-miss so far this season but ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:49:30 GMT

Taylor Swift has triumphed yet again.Yet, she’s done so in a way that is different than ever before, delivering fans a career-spanning major theatrical release that ranks as nothing less than one of the greatest concert films ever made.The Sam Wrench-directed offering — which hit theaters this week and is expected to quickly set box office records as the top-grossing concert movie of all time — succeeds in numerous ways, magnifying the strengths of the blockbuster tour of the same name as it nicely translates the experience from cavernous football stadiums to movie houses.That’s not easy to do, but it certainly helps when the film crew is drawing from stellar source material — and “The Eras Tour” is indeed nothing short of brilliant. Yet, there’s more to do it than that, given that the tour is designed in a way that makes sense for filming.As the tour’s name implies, the production is organized by different eras (or, more specifi...
