With “Shake It Off” blaring over the stadium loudspeakers, the Broncos finally gave a Swiftie kick to that 16-game losing streak to Kansas City that we thought might never end.“Smiles!” Broncos president Domani Leech exclaimed Sunday as he departed a happy locker room with something sweet to finally show the crazy-rich Waltons for their $4.65 billion investment in a downtrodden NFL franchise:Denver 24, Patrick Mahomes 9.Your eight-year nightmare is over, Broncos Country.Celebrate? Darn skippy. Let’s party like it’s 1989 (Broncos’ version).Not to suggest the Chiefs had stopped taking our local NFL team seriously, but on his way to Colorado, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend stopped off at Game 1 of the World Series in Texas, where tight end Travis Kelce was caught on camera dancing badly to “Shake It Off.”So as Kelce and his teammates walked off Empower Field being trolled by the same Swift song, that little piece of snark tasted as sweet as Prosecco.

Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes credits Broncos’ defense for poor performance: “They just got after us”

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:53:36 GMT

Patrick Mahomes offered no excuses for his poor performance in Kansas City’s 24-9 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.The Chiefs’ star quarterback didn’t blame the flu-like illness that socked him in the gut Saturday night, nor the frigid weather at Empower Field at Mile High.Nope, he pointed his finger at the Chiefs’ lack of execution and credited a Broncos defense that limited him to a 59.2 passer rating, the second-worst in his 87 NFL starts. He had a 57.3 rating in 2021, also against the Broncos.“The Broncos did a great job of making us be patient and they had a great game plan, and we didn’t execute well enough to score any (touchdowns),” said Mahomes, who not only lost to the Broncos for the first time in his career but also suffered his first road loss against an AFC West team.Mahomes completed 24 of 38 passes for 241 yards with two interceptions and was sacked three times. For the first time since a 27-3 loss at Tennessee on Oct. 24, 2021,...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:53:36 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — P.J. Walker had a chance to put away a second straight road victory for the Browns. A completed pass would have given Cleveland a new set of downs with less than two minutes remaining.When Walker’s pass deflected off the helmet of blitzing Seattle safety Jamal Adams, the Cleveland quarterback knew it was trouble.“The moment it got tipped in the air, I felt the bad feeling that it was going to be a pick or something like that,” Walker said.The deflected interception was Walker’s third turnover of the Browns’ 24-20 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. Making his second start of the season with Deshaun Watson sidelined by a shoulder injury, Walker’s performance was filled with some big plays and big misses that added up to a frustrating result for the Browns.After coming off the bench early and leading a late touchdown drive in a win at Indianapolis last week, Walker was stuck watching Geno Smith march Seattle down the field for a winning touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-N...
