Broncos playoff hopes go bust on Christmas Eve after comeback falls short against Patriots

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:00:56 GMT

The Broncos will wake up Monday morning with nothing but coal in their stockings.They’ve got only themselves to blame for a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas.Needing three wins to close the season and hosting the 3-11 New England Patriots on Christmas Eve, the Broncos marred their own holiday weekend with a loss that all but seals their 2023 fate.The offense: Putrid at the start, roaring to life too late.The other two units: Strong early, only to sustain massive letdowns at critical junctures.The final count: New England 26, Denver 23 after Chad Ryland drilled a 56-yard field goal with 2 seconds left to stick a fork right through the Broncos.The real damage is this: Any hope of making it out of a jumbled AFC playoff picture practically speaking went out the window when the Broncos dropped to 7-8 for the season. It’ll take 10 wins minimum barring something exceedingly unlikely happening. The teams that hit that mark will undoubtedly be more injured than this Denver team is. At least a...

Carlozzi: Tax reform won’t give Mass. competitive edge

Starting in 2021, 26 states opted to lower personal income taxes, including our neighbors in Connecticut, which enacted the largest income tax cut in the state’s history. By contrast, Massachusetts was the only state in the nation to raise income tax rates in 2023, with the newly imposed surcharge on income over $1 million...
