2024 Broncos' Season, Week 13

 


Week 13: Denver Broncos 41, Cleveland Browns 32
Season Record: 8-5 (4-2 Home)
Key Play: In the Fourth Quarter, with the Broncos leading 34-32, Ja'Quan McMillian picked off Jameis Winston's pass and returned it for a touchdown, giving the Broncos a nine-point lead with less that two minutes to play.

Recap: What a wild night at Mile High. We've seen some good showings this season from the Broncos, but Monday night they showed resolve. It was a tough game and the Browns posted 32 points. But, in the end, the Broncos held strong. The offense got a drive together to take the lead, then the defense salted it away. It wasn't a great defensive performance, but they came through when they needed to with two big interceptions in the final two minutes, one returned for a touchdown. It gives the Broncos eight wins as they head into the bye week. The Broncos have a two-game lead for the final playoff spot and come out of the bye hosting the Indianapolis Colts. A win there could have them up three with three games to play and holding an important tie-breaker. It's a good sign this team can see the post-season for the first time in a decade. Can they make a run? That remains to be seen. But for now, let's celebrate the hottest start we've seen from a Broncos team in some time.

Game Balls:
* Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims. The two receivers combined for nine catches, 207 yards and a touchdown. Both made some huge receptions.
* Jaleel McLaughlin. The running back had 84 hard yards on 14 carries, looking like possibly Denver's best running back.
* Nik Bonitto and Ja'Quan McMillian. Both had interceptions returned for a touchdown which were crucial to Denver's victory.

  It was an interesting week for new releases in theaters. Below is my take on the two big theatrical films from the weekend. You can keep up with everything I’m watching by following me on Letterboxd @knighthawk7734. Boy Kills World (Theaters) Starring : Bill Skarsgard, Jessica Rothe, Famke Janssen, Brett Gellman, and Michelle Dockery Synopsis : We have seen a lot of action films this year. Many have featured violent sequences, but some have been more artful than others. The new film, Boy Kills World, provides plenty of violence. It’s right there in the title. But where it falls short is in building something compelling beyond the killing spree. We’re introduced to a Boy (Skarsgard) early in the film. He tells us that his world is ruled by the Van Der Koy family, whose head, Hilda (Janssen) keeps the people in line through an annual Culling, where she kills “enemies.” Our protagonist’s mother and sister were among her victims. The Boy barely survived; saved by the Shaman (Yayan Ru...

  It was a solid week for new releases, including my favorite animated film of the year. You can keep up with everything I’m watching by following me on Letterboxd @knighthawk7734.  Brats (Hulu) Synopsis : From Andrew McCarthy, this new documentary takes a look at the infamous Brat Pack. The film features interviews with the members as they look back at the title that branded them and helped define some of their career. As a member of the group, McCarthy brings a unique perspective. Often the interviews, with actors such as Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Timothy Hutton, and Demi Moore, among others, feels more like old friends catching up. There’s a sweetness and a lightness to the documentary that is incredibly appealing. The film does a good job of capturing the highs and lows, and helping these actors and actresses give an account of what the pressure of that time—and these high-profile films—meant in their lives and their careers. As a child of the 1980s, I was fascinating by t...

Fall TV Roundup, Week 16

  It’s Christmas week, and you might find yourself looking for some distractions in the form of new shows to check out. But which are worth checking out? Let this weekly post be your guide as I review the pilot and second episode of new shows this Fall. Don’t see a new show listed below? Check previous weeks. Tuesdays: American Auto, Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on NBC (Premiered December 13) About: A lot was made of the fact NBC, former home of Must-See TV, launched a schedule this Fall with no sitcoms. NBC isn’t planning to do the same in the winter, and they got a jump start to close the year, offering two-episode previews of a pair of new sitcoms that will begin their normal runs in January. The first, American Auto , comes from Superstore creator Justin Spitzer and centers on a new CEO (Ana Gasteyer) at a car company. She doesn’t come from the world of cars but is trying to effect positive changes. I thought the first two episodes were funny and definitely filled the Superstore vib...
