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...

2010 Rewind: The Book of Eli

Image
It's hard to believe, but 2010 was 15 years ago. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be looking at some stand out films from 2010 that are turning 15 in 2025. Today, it's a dystopian story featuring Denzel Washington. Eli: People had more than they needed. We had no idea what was precious and what wasn't. We threw away things people kill each other for now. The Book of Eli Starring: Denzel Washington, Mila Kunis, Jennifer Beals, and Gary Oldman Director: Allen and Albert Hughes About : I have a love/hate relationship with this movie. It's a dystopian tale featuring Denzel Washington in a dark and intriguing story. I have never totally loved it but it has long stuck with me. There's a style to the violence and storytelling that's interesting. The choice of visual tones is interesting. But, mostly, it's the way the film taps into Scripture that has been appealing. Is it perfect? Far from it. In fact, it might be too literal in some of its takes on the ...

2005 Rewind: The Exorcism of Emily Rose

  It's hard to believe, but 2005 was 20 years ago. Over the next few weeks I'm going to be looking at some stand out films from 2005 that are turning 20 in 2025. Today, it's the start of an animated franchise. Father Moore : Once you've looked into the darkness, I think you carry it with you for the rest of your life. The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) Starring : Jennifer Carpenter, Laura Linney, and Tom Wilkinson Director : Scott Derrickson About : We've seen plenty of exorcism films in the past. I break it down into two groups. In the first, the film uses the rite of exorcism as a plot device for a horror film. For the most part, that's how The Exorcist plays out. In the second group, the film is interested in exploring the religious aspects of exorcism. That's the category this film falls into. It was directed by Derrickson, who attended Biola University like me, which is one of the reasons I was interested in seeing it. It plays out like a courtroom dram...
