2025 Broncos' Season, Week 4


Week 4: Denver Broncos 28, Cincinnati Bengals 3
Season Record: 2-2 (2-0 Home)
Key Play: In the second quarter, after an interception in the Red Zone killed a scoring chance, the Broncos got the ball back with less than two minutes to play. Bo Nix connected with Courtland Sutton on a 20-yard touchdown strike to make it 21-3.

Recap: Week 4 was a good result. After a somewhat shaky start allowing the Bengals to drive and score, and committing a few defensive penalties, the Broncos rallied and looked solid. Nix threw a costly interception in the Red Zone, which hurt. But it didn't lead to a score, and the Broncos rallied. The second half was uneven on offense, but the running game got going and Nix threw a second touchdown. It was a solid win that moved the team back to .500. It was a step in the right direction, but let's not get crazy. The Broncos have beaten a winless Titans team that might be the worst in the league and beat a poor Bengals team. Let's see how they do in Philadelphia in Week 5 before we crown them.

Game Balls:
* J.K. Dobbins. He rushed for more than 100 yards, something that hasn't happened in the Sean Payton era.
* R.J. Harvey. The rookie added 58 yards rushing and 40 yards receiving along with a touchdown.
* Nik Bonitto. The star linebacker added 1.5 sacks to help lead the Broncos' fierce pass rush.

  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...

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...

  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...
