Broncos CB Pat Surtain II looks forward to matchup against Raiders’ WR Davante Adams after last season’s heartbreaking loss

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:53:17 GMT

Very few wide receivers can make Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II look lost on the field. That’s why Davante Adams is one of the best in the business.In overtime of Denver’s Week 11 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, Adams faked left, turning Surtain around before cutting to the right corner where he caught a wide-open 35-yard touchdown pass to beat the Broncos, 22-16. Adams’ insane footwork and precise route running had Surtain flat-footed and many Broncos players in disbelief.“That’s the toughest thing about the position. … Sometimes stuff like that happens,” Surtain said on Thursday.Surtain might be a top-two cornerback in the game, but on that afternoon in November, Adams — who recorded 144 receiving yards and two touchdowns — reminded the 23-year-old that he is still a youngin’.Surtain doesn’t dwell on the past, one of the many reasons he has had success in his career. But if he wanted payback for Adams’ waving at Broncos fans in the end zone after leavin...

NFL Picks: Josh Allen vs. Aaron Rodgers in Week 1, plus a very drop-y opener for Patrick Mahomes’ WRs in Kansas City

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:53:17 GMT

Around the AFCDrop-fest at Arrowhead. The Chiefs had questions about their young receiving corps and assuredly did not like the early answers Thursday night in a 21-20 home loss to Detroit. Kadarius Toney dropped everything thrown his way. One tipped ball went for a pick-six. The Kansas City defense played well overall but couldn’t get a stop when it needed one most against Dan Campbell’s Lions. So, the defending Super Bowl champs are 0-1. What’s it mean? Only time will tell, but Sean Payton would do well to send a bottle of the expensive stuff to Campbell, his old tight ends coach.Burrow time. Joe Burrow had a scare early in training camp when he strained his calf, but the star Cincinnati quarterback appears to be ready to roll for Week 1. Not only that, but he’ll take the field an extremely wealthy man. Burrow reportedly agreed Thursday to a five-year, $275 million extension that comes with $219 million guaranteed and represents the largest contract ever au...

Some CU Boulder students struggle to find tickets to home football games

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:53:17 GMT

The excitement surrounding Deion Sanders and the University of Colorado Buffs’ first home football game on Saturday has led to an unpleasant reality for students: Attending games this fall will require more work, more luck or more money.Due to increased ticket demand for home football games, students who purchased a student sports pass must also go through a claim process to acquire tickets. A student sports pass costs $185, an increase of $20 from last year, and allows students to claim a ticket to home football and basketball games for the season.However, every student who has a sports pass is not guaranteed a ticket, and students without a sports pass can’t claim a ticket.“It definitely sucks,” Junior Morgan Klein said. “I’m so excited for this football season, especially for Coach Prime, but it sucks that its not open to everyone who got a sports pass.”Klein has a sports pass and began the claim process when it opened Sunday morning, joining the queue for tickets to the game aga...
