Broncos offensive struggles in second half one of many issues during 0-2 start: “We have to play cleaner”

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 09:33:06 GMT

When the Broncos held a 21-3 lead in the second quarter against the Washington Commanders, it appeared head coach Sean Payton had exorcized the offensive demons that plagued them in 2022.Quarterback Russell Wilson was throwing the ball efficiently, completing 6 for 8 passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns. Rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. looked like the second coming of Randy Moss, catching a pair of deep balls, including a 60-yard touchdown. And the Broncos had three touchdowns in three possessions.Then, it all fell apart following Wilson’s second-quarter fumble, and the engine that kept Denver’s offense moving stopped. The Broncos had two unsuccessful drives to start the third quarter, while the Commanders outscored them 21-12 in the second half to pull off the comeback victory.Denver’s Jekyll and Hyde offense is one of many reasons it enters Sunday’s matchup against the Miami Dolphins with a 0-2 record. If they want to prevent the season from spiraling into the Twilig...

Submit your letter to the editor via this form. Read more Letters to the Editor.Complaint distractsfrom taxpayer ripoffRecently, three Santa Clara City Council members filed a frivolous complaint against Stand Up for Santa Clara, a grassroots group that formed to stop the 49ers from taking our city’s youth soccer park and turning it into VIP parking for football games.One of their claims is that we are not registered as a nonprofit organization. That charge, like the rest of their complaint, is irresponsible and false. I helped form the organization because Santa Clarans care about our city and we don’t want an NFL team and its billionaire owner controlling City Hall. Unfortunately, that’s been the case since 2020 when Anthony Becker, Suds Jain and Kevin Park got elected, as the civil grand jury reported last year.Those three council members are up for reelection next year. Their complaint demonstrates how they are trying to distract the public from their actions t...

SAN JOSE — Pending unrestricted free agent Alexander Barabanov said Friday he would like to remain with the San Jose Sharks past this season and gain some long-term security in the process.Barabanov is entering the second year of the two-year, $5 million contract he signed with the Sharks after the 2021-2022 season.

Just try to work hard and do my job. That’s it,” Barabanov said Friday. “Because if you think too much, it doesn’t help you.“Of course, I want to stay here. My two babies were born here and I like the group here. That’s it. But it’s a business, so we’ll see what happens.”General manager Mike Grier said Thursday he’s open to re-signi...

Stanford study: Wildfire smoke reverses air quality gains

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 09:33:06 GMT

(KRON) -- Wildfire smoke has slowed down or reversed America's progress toward achieving better air quality, a study by researchers with Stanford University found. By spewing plumes of smoke laden with tiny toxic particles, called PM2.5, wildfires have a "rapidly growing influence" over air quality trends in at least 35 states, according to the study published this week. Victories toward improving air quality over the past two decades were erased by wildfire smoke, researchers said."We’re starting to see the fingerprint of wildfire smoke on overall air quality trends over the entire country, not just in the western states where these fires are burning most often," said study co-author Marissa Childs. "This is because the larger fires that have been burning in recent years are lofting the pollution way up into the atmosphere, which can transport these tiny particles thousands of miles away."The Carr Fire sends a plume of smoke into the sky above Whiskeytown, Calif., on July 27, ...
