Broncos defense puts historically bad run in rearview mirror to snuff out Bears late

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:58:41 GMT

CHICAGO — At long last, Vance Joseph’s defense showed up in the Second City and made a statement.This Chicago team is bad. Its offense has been bad. But it was rolling along just fine against the Broncos defense as it scored four touchdowns in five possessions after an opening punt.Then the script flipped.The Broncos reeled off the game’s final 24 points thanks to Russell Wilson and the offense, sure, but also thanks to Joseph’s defense. A scoop-and-score fumble return for Jonathon Cooper tied the game. A fourth-down stop with 2 minutes, 52 seconds to go prevented the Bears from running the clock down and kicking a go-ahead field goal — although they could have opted for that on fourth-and-1. Then veteran safety Kareem Jackson intercepted Justin Fields in the final minute to put the game on ice.“Nobody giving up, nobody saying ‘might’ or ‘maybe.’ We knew we was going to win,” said defensive lineman DJ Jones, who logged a late sac...

Broncos report card: Denver roars to life in the second half, staves off second straight “F” fest

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:58:41 GMT

Offense — BMore of the same for the Broncos against Chicago. In moments, it looks like a unit about to take off. Russell Wilson solved some of the second-half woes from early in the season in throwing touchdowns to Brandon Johnson and Courtland Sutton while erasing a 21-point deficit. Jaleel McLaughlin provided a jolt before and after an injury to Javonte Williams. But then also there’s a veteran offensive line group committing five — yeah, five — false start penalties. There’s the stretch of four straight punts between an opening touchdown drive and a second-half flurry. There’s the Marvin Mims Jr. big play and also the erratic playing time. His 48-yarder to set up a go-ahead field goal proved to be the biggest offensive snap of the game for Denver.Defense — CAfter giving up 70 points to Miami last week, the Broncos should have been able to avoid a performance that allows for, “Which is more embarrassing?” But then Justin Fields (58% completions entering play) completed...

SAN FRANCISCO — The crowd at Oracle Park rose to their feet to celebrate Brandon Crawford, the last player standing from the Giants’ bygone championship era. Minutes later, Kyle Harrison and Casey Schmitt made cases to be the Giants’ future.Good vibes couldn’t overcome bad offense and the Giants lost the final game of the season to the Los Angeles Dodgers, 5-2, on Sunday afternoon at Oracle Park.

He was at 93 pitches by the end of the fifth inning, but had four strikeouts and induced weak con...

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Brandon Drury homered twice, doubled and drove in three runs, and the Los Angeles Angels wrapped up their eighth consecutive losing season with a 7-3 victory over the major league-worst Oakland Athletics on Sunday.Shohei Ohtani was in the Angels’ dugout again, cheering on his teammates for the final two games of what could be the two-way superstar’s final weekend with the club. Ohtani can become a free agent after the World Series, and the Halos haven’t made the playoffs or finished higher than third in the AL West in his six years in Anaheim.Randal Grichuk also homered for the Halos, and Eduardo Escobar had two hits. After Escobar’s RBI single in the fifth, the Angels saved the ball for the 34-year-old infielder, whose playing future is uncertain.The Angels finished their latest hugely disappointing season at 73-89, matching their 2022 record to close out their ninth straight non-playoff campaign. They’ve got the majors’ longest active...
