2024 Broncos' Season, Week 12


Week 12: Denver Broncos 29, Las Vegas Raiders 19
Season Record: 7-5 (3-2 Home)
Key Play: In the Fourth Quarter, with the Broncos up by three points, Bo Nix connected with Courtland Sutton on their second touchdown of the day to give the Broncos a 10-point lead.

Recap: The Broncos are tracking toward the playoffs. If the playoffs started today, the Broncos would be the AFC's No. 7 seed. That's encouraging. The team has one more game before their bye week, a Monday night clash with the Cleveland Browns. They need a win to push their record to 8-5 and put them in position to secure a trip to the playoffs for the first time in a decade. Better still, Nix continues to grow as a passer and looks to be the front-runner for Offensive Rookie of the Year. It's been a good season for a young Broncos team that continues to grow and shine. I'm excited about the potential and the future, and this team has been fun to watch again. That is a welcome surprise.

Game Balls:
* Bo Nix. Nix went for 273 yards and two touchdowns with no turnovers. He's playing lights out.
* Courtland Sutton and Devaughn Vele. The Broncos have found some good receivers. Sutton had 97 yards and two touchdowns on eight receptions, while Vele had 80 yards on six receptions.
* Brandon Jones. His interception in the Third Quarter helped turn the tide for the Broncos in the win.

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co...

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve...

Favorite Westerns, No. 37

  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1.  Peter Gordon: When my father passed, I wanted nothing more than my mother's happiness. For what kind of man would I be if I did not help my mother? If I did not save her? The Power of the Dog (2021) Starring : Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Jesse Plemons Director: Jane Campion About : Another modern entry, and another unconventional choice for this list, perhaps. This is a quiet and pensive story, but it certainly captures the brutality and struggle of the western genre. Campion does a beautiful job of laying out this story and world. The cinematography here works well to build the story and the vibe of the production. That's one of the things that stuck out to me. In addition, the film features some great performances from all four ...
