Heroes and Zeros from Broncos’ win over Bears: Nik Bonitto gets opportunity and delivers for defense

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 15:21:07 GMT

Here are the heroes and zeros from the Broncos’ 31-28 win over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday afternoon.HeroesNik Bonitto: The Broncos’ second-year outside linebacker got the start over Randy Gregory and delivered. Denver trailed 28-21 in the fourth quarter when Bonitto burst into the backfield and jarred the ball loose from Bears quarterback Justin Fields, which outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper scooped up and ran 35 yards for the game-tying touchdown with 6:55 left. Bonitto had four tackles (two for loss) and 2 ½ sacks. The Oklahoma product has tremendous speed off the edge, and it was evident Sunday. His only flaw was getting his ankles snatched by Fields before completing a 2-yard touchdown pass to take a 28-7 with 4:11 left in the third quarter. But let’s be real, defending Fields in open space is like guarding Kyrie Irving one-on-one.Jaleel McLaughlin: The Broncos might have found a gem in the undrafted rookie running back. McLaughlin was a spark plu...

Broncos four downs: Over 20 minutes, QB Russell Wilson and Vance Joseph’s much-maligned defense save Denver’s season

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 15:21:07 GMT

Initial thoughts from Broncos’ 31-28 come-from-behind victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 4 at Soldier Field:Jeudy. Jeudy? Jeudy!: Remember when Jerry Jeudy had flames shooting off him at the end of last season? Where did that guy go? And why hasn’t offensive wizard Sean Payton been able to unearth him? Jeudy made a textbook all-hands grab on a first-quarter slant that went for 18 yards, part of an impressive 11-play, 84-yard opening drive that ended with Jaleel McLaughlin plunging into the end zone. The number of first-half targets for Jeudy after that? Zip. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Then he opened the second half with a drop, but had two catches for 34 yards during Denver’s torrid rally. Jeudy’s totals through three games: 8 targets, 12 receptions, 106 yards. More is needed.No Justin Simmons, lots of problems: Two games in a row, the Broncos secondary was without safety Justin Simmons. Two games in a row, they got absolutely roasted by an opposing quarterback putting...

Catalina officials propose bold deer mitigation plan amid uncontrolled population growth; residents voice concern 

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 15:21:07 GMT

The mule deer population is taking a toll on the ecosystem on Catalina Island, and officials have proposed a bold new plan to help save the island’s native animal and plant species. According to the Los Angeles Times, a plan put forward by the Catalina Island Conservancy that would use “helicopter-mounted sharpshooters” to kill the invasive deer has prompted some backlash.However, the group believes there’s no other choice. “The situation has become untenable for the deer and for the island’s ecology, leaving the island at a tipping point,” reads a statement on the Catalina Island Conservancy website. “After consulting with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, it has been determined that a strategic deer management program is required to implement the overall plan to revive the island’s ecosystem.” The deer are destroying native plants and habitats by trampling and destroying native plants and habitats, and due to them not having a natural predator, their population grew ...

Newsom vetoes bill to give striking workers unemployment benefits

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 15:21:07 GMT

Days after President Joe Biden joined a picket line of striking autoworkers in Michigan in an unprecedented public display of support, Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill that would have given unemployment benefits to striking workers in California — a blow to organized labor in a state that typically embraces it.“Now is not the time to increase costs or incur this sizable debt,” said Newsom in his veto statement over the weekend.Senate Bill 799 was backed by the Writers Guild of America, which recently reached a deal to end a months-long strike, and SAG-AFTRA, the union representing thousands of Hollywood actors that have been striking since July. And the veto comes as workers in fields from health care to hospitality increasingly turn to strikes in a bid to secure better wages and working conditions.And while the move leaves labor leaders frustrated with the governor, that’s a political calculation Newsom — who is widely expected to seek office beyond deep blue Calif...

Rodgers was injured four snaps into his debut with the Jets on Sept. 11 against Buffalo.The 39-year-old Rodgers hinted earlier this week during his weekly appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” he could make his first public appearance since the injury if he was cleared by doctors to travel.“You never know who you’re going to see at the game,” Rodgers said with a grin.It was un...
