Rapids' playoff push travels to Minnesota seeking good outcome

After the team’s most lopsided loss of the season, the Rapids are running out of time to turn their season around.

With four scheduled matches left on its schedule, Colorado heads to St. Paul in need of a positive result against defensive-led Minnesota United FC on Wednesday. The Loons, unbeaten in their last five matches, are just a few points shy of locking in a playoff spot, while the Rapids have some work to do to secure their own.

“Minnesota’s obviously a very good team. They’re in decent form and they’ve got players who are healthy and coming back, so it’ll be a big challenge for us for sure,” Rapids coach Robin Fraser said.

Wednesday will be the second meeting of the season between these teams. The Rapids and Loons played to a 2-2 draw at the MLS is Back Tournament in Orlando. But it’s not the only interaction these two clubs have had in 2020. On Sept. 19, the Rapids traded striker Kei Kamara to the Twin Cities in exchange for $150,000 in General Allocation Money and a second-round pick in the 2022 MLS SuperDraft.

Kamara has one goal and one assist in six games with the Loons, but he will not be playing against the Rapids due to a “gentleman’s agreement” in the trade terms between the two teams.

Kellyn Acosta missed Saturday’s 4-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City due to a yellow card suspension. Acosta may miss Wednesday’s match due to an injury. His backup, Collen Warner, left the game in Kansas City early due to injury, leaving the Rapids short-handed in the midfield.

“Kellyn is certainly a player that we rely on a great deal for the amount of ground that he covers and his ability to play both sides of the field,” Fraser said. “We have a number of players that we have a good deal of faith in and we have players that are kind of interchangeable in playing different positions so we certainly are looking at all options possible.”

The Rapids will play again Sunday in their final regular-season home game, which is against Seattle. Decision Day is Nov. 8, but MLS has yet to specify how it will decide which eight teams make the playoffs. Colorado has played fewer games than its peers due to the month-long break brought on by a COVID-19 outbreak.

“I don’t think anything changes in our approach to get to the playoffs, we need to win games and we need to acquire points,” Fraser said.

Panthers' Christian McCaffrey back at practice after missing out on 5 video games

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Christian McCaffrey has been designated for return from the team’s injured reserve list, increasing the likelihood Carolina’s 2019 All-Pro running back will play Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons.

McCaffrey arrived at Panthers practice Tuesday with a red jersey and a baseball cap signifying an injured player, but he quickly changed into a black practice jersey and a helmet.

McCaffrey hasn’t played since Week 2 when he suffered a high ankle sprain in a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Panthers coach Matt Rhule reiterated Tuesday that he is “hopeful” McCaffrey will ready to play against the Falcons, but added that the decision was largely up to the training staff.

“He looks good,” Rhule said. “He looks like he is moving around great. We will let the medical people and him determine how much he can do and whether he can play in a game.”

McCaffrey was off to a solid start with 223 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns in the first two games.

“It’s just another weapon,” wide receiver Curtis Samuel said of McCaffrey’s return. “There is no such thing as having too many playmakers out there. You give the team so many options of who is getting the ball here and who is going there. So many outlets. There is no such thing as having too many options.”

Rhule said McCaffrey was “exhilarated” to be out at practice with his teammates.

“I know he wants to play, but I also know he’s a process guy and he understands that we can’t shortcut the process,” Rhule said.

McCaffrey’s backup Mike Davis had 149 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown in Carolina’s 23-16 win against Atlanta earlier this month. Rhule said Davis will still see some action at running back even if McCaffrey returns.

NOTES: Panthers left tackle Russell Okung (calf), defensive tackle Zach Kerr (toe) and guard John Miller (ankle) did not practice.

Broncos Mailbag: Why may not be Chamber Pot Jeudy, KJ Hamler conducting in addition to various other rookie WRs?

Denver Post Broncos writer Ryan O’Halloran posts his Broncos Mailbag weekly during the season. Submit questions to Ryan here.

It’s very hard for me to be optimistic about the team when there is so much controversy at the top of the organization. When can we expect the team to be sold to Jeff Bezos and can you even begin to comprehend the implications of that?
— Matthew Booth, El Paso, Texas

According to a Google search, I came across a 2018 Forbes story stating that there are 2,200 billionaires in the world. That list would be a good place to start since the Broncos could fetch as much as $3 billion. Bezos could afford that, easily.

To your question/comment about a lack of optimism in the Broncos. You’re not alone, Matthew. I hear from fans on a weekly basis saying they love the franchise, but are fed up with the on-field performance and off-field tumult.

A new owner, which seems like a safe bet since the Bowlen children aren’t expected to unanimously endorse Brittany as the next controlling owner, will be a fascinating story to watch in terms of how much they pay, who they keep and who they bring in.

Stop me when this sounds familiar: The defense played the Chiefs’ offense about as well as you could ask for three quarters. Of course, the offense lost the game. It’s happened under three head coaches and a handful of quarterbacks and offensive coordinators. Doesn’t that make John Elway the common denominator?
— Steve, Forks, Wash.

As I pointed out in Tuesday’s paper, the Broncos’ defense didn’t allow a third-down conversion and only one offensive touchdown in the first three quarters. But they also allowed 15 plays that gained at least 10 yards.

The Broncos’ pass rush is starting to get cranked up (14 sacks in last three games), but they need to boost their anemic offense by creating more takeaways (six this year).

Yes, Elway is the thread between all of the head coaches and all of the coordinators and all of the quarterbacks. So yes, he deserves a share of the blame if this season really spirals downward.

Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler came to the Broncos with a lot of hype. So far, other rookie receivers like Chase Claypool and Justin Jefferson have been more productive. I know Hamler’s been limited by injury, but is this more a result of poor QB play or poor performance?
— Robert, Orlando

Jefferson would have been the receiver I targeted if Jeudy wasn’t on the board at No. 15 and the Broncos possibly traded down. He has 28 catches for 537 yards (eye-popping 19.2-yard average) and three touchdowns for Minnesota.

Claypool was a second-round pick by Pittsburgh and has 18 catches for 333 yards and six total touchdowns.

Jeudy has 19 catches for 286 yards and one touchdown (six games) and Hamler has eight catches for 102 yards (three games).

Jefferson and Claypool are catching passes from veteran quarterbacks, Kirk Cousins and Ben Roethlisberger, respectively. That plays into it since veteran passers are more willing to throw into traffic.

Melvin Gordon has had some good moments since we’ve signed him, but man, can he not hold on to the rock? Any chance we can trade him for some draft capital or a young prospect? Signing Gordon was definitely the most perplexing move we made in the offseason.
— Peter, Denver

Gordon can’t stay out of his own way due to fumbles (he’s lost two this year, not including the errant flea-flicker flip), an illness that sidelined him for the New England game and, of course, his DUI earlier this month. A league suspension appears inevitable.

On the field, Gordon has 82 carries for 349 yards and four touchdowns and carries great value to the Broncos because Phillip Lindsay (concussion) is injured.

I don’t think Gordon would have any kind of trade market because of his legal issues. Why would a contending team with a tailback need acquire him knowing he may not be eligible to play in December?

Drew Lock has not looked all that great since he’s come back from injury. Is his timing off or is he not as good as the hype that surrounded him? Also, why were we playing Noah Fant so much on Sunday? The dude was not 100% and he looked every bit of it.
— Mychal, Wheat Ridge

Fant, after missing the New England game with an ankle injury, played 54-of-77 offensive snaps (70%) against Kansas City.

Jake Butt and Andrew Beck were inactive with hamstring injuries, so that equaled more playing time for Fant, Nick Vannett (35 snaps) and Albert Okwuegbunam (31).

You’re right — Fant did look hobbled from time to time, but he fought through it.

Who is actually upcoming for Justin Gaethje? Listed below's what one oddsmaker possesses as the UFC fighter's next challenger.

Justin Gaethje fell short in his bid to win the UFC lightweight championship Saturday, succumbing to a triangle choke in the second round against the undefeated Khabib Nurmagomedov.

So what’s next for the former Northern Colorado All-American wrestler? Here’s a look at what oddsmaker MyBookie has:

Conor McGregor (+110)

With Nurmagomedov retiring after his win on Saturday, there’s a vacancy for the lightweight title. With McGregor, who’s the No. 4-ranked contender in the UFC lightweight division, set to face No. 2 Dustin Poirier on Jan. 23 in what could be a play-in round for a title fight. Whether McGregor wins or loses, it could set up a big-money bout with the equally exciting Gaethje.

Dustin Poirier (+125)

This would be a rematch of their April 2018 fight in which Poirier won via technical knockout in the fourth round. Gaethje would go on a four-fight win streak after before losing to Nurmagomedov.

Tony Ferguson (+350)

This would be a rematch of their May 9 fight at UFC 249 where Gaethje wore down Ferguson through four and a half rounds before winning via technical knockout — and ending hopes of a long-awaited Ferguson-Nurmagomedov fight.

Nate Diaz (+400)

Diaz hasn’t fought in the lightweight division since 2015 but could make for an interesting opponent for Gaethje. He has a big chin and an bigger mouth that could create some fun pre-fight entertainment.

Michael Chandler (+500)

The former three-time Bellator lightweight champion has yet to make his debut for the UFC after signing with the company in September. He was the potential replacement for either Gaethje or Nurmagomedov on Saturday. Whhat better way to make a debut than against the previous No. 1 contender?

Donald Cerrone (+800)

Colorado’s own Cowboy Cerrone fought Gaethje last September, losing via technical knockout early in the first round.

Khabib Nurmagomedov (+2,000)

A rematch? It seems highly unlikely as Nurmagomedov (29-0) announced from mixed martial arts after winning Saturday’s fight. But stranger things have happened.

Broncos After Additional Review: Shoddy handling led to Kansas Metropolitan area taking lead and certainly never remembering

In their first five games, the Broncos’ defense missed two tackles on the same play only three times and never missed three tackles on a play.

That changed on Kansas City’s first drive Sunday.

Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire took the handoff and ran left. Safety Kareem Jackson missed a tackle at the 9-yard line and inside linebacker Alexander Johnson and cornerback Michael Ojemudia missed tackles at the 5. Edwards-Helaire scored the touchdown, giving the Chiefs a lead they wouldn’t give up in a 43-16 win.

The Broncos’ seven missed tackles Sunday were tied for the most this season with Week 2 at Pittsburgh. Booked were Jackson, Johnson (two), Ojemudia, outside linebacker Bradley Chubb (two) and safety Justin Simmons.

Simmons couldn’t corral receiver Tyreek Hill on a pass to the right flat, resulting in a 10-yard touchdown.

Missed tackles and chunk plays were the story for the Broncos’ defense. Kansas City ran only 51 plays (it entered averaging 80.8 plays per game) and 15 of those snaps gained at least 10 yards.

Here is a review of the Broncos’ loss to Kansas City:

OFFENSE

Pressuring Lock. Kansas City rushed five or more players on nine of quarterback Drew Lock’s 44 drop-backs (20.5%) and had three sacks, two knockdowns and five pressures (10 disruptions).

The Chiefs’ sacks came in 5.95, 2.04 and 2.00 seconds. Defensive tackle Chris Jones got the second sack by using a swim move against center Lloyd Cushenberry and cornerback Charvarius Ward got the third sack when he blitzed unblocked — right tackle Demar Dotson might have thought running back Royce Freeman had edge responsibilities, but Freeman blocked a blitzing interior player.

Well-designed TD. The Broncos’ first touchdown was good deception by play-caller Pat Shurmur. On third-and-goal from the 2, receiver Jerry Jeudy went in a jet sweep-like motion. At the snap, Jeudy sold the fake handoff, Lock faked a handoff to running back Melvin Gordon and then scooted in for the touchdown.

Forcing to Fant. The Broncos got tight end Noah Fant back from an ankle injury and he played 54 of 77 snaps and had three catches for 38 yards. Fant was the intended target on Lock’s first three non-throwaway passes — a three-yard gain and two incompletions (four and 19 yards downfield).

Meanwhile, it took too long to have tight end Albert Okwuegbunam challenge the Chiefs’ defense. He had seven catches (for 60 yards) on seven targets, but his first reception wasn’t until late in the second quarter (around the six-minute mark).

Lindsay’s great half. Running back Phillip Lindsay’s bad luck season continued when he left in the first half with a concussion. He rushed nine times for 79 yards in 14 snaps of work.

Rushes that stood out: Fourteen yards (left guard Dalton Risner pulled to take out linebacker Damien Wilson and fullback Jeremy Cox’s lead block accounted for West), 20 yards (everybody blocked left and Lindsay cut back right) and 19 yards (Risner pulled to block defensive end Frank Clark and Fant blocked Wilson).

Lock’s day. Lock was 1-of-5 passing for 27 yards (great catch by receiver Tim Patrick) on attempts that traveled at least 16 air yards. Twenty-eight of Lock’s 40 attempts didn’t go at least six air yards downfield. He was 4-of-7 passing from 6-15 air yards.

In all, we booked Lock with seven poor throws including his two interceptions. Another poor “throw” came at the end of the first half. From the Chiefs’ 40, West sacked Lock for a nine-yard loss.

OK, the Broncos had two downs to get about 9-12 yards for a Brandon McManus field goal. Instead, Lock was penalized for intentional grounding (nine-yard penalty), moving the offense back to the 42. No field goal.

DEFENSE

Dialing it back. After rushing at least five players on 36.4% and 44.0% of the Jets’ and Patriots’ drop-backs, respectively, coach Vic Fangio opted for a coverage plan against Patrick Mahomes.

The Broncos rushed five players on nine of Mahomes’ 32 drop-backs (28.1%) and didn’t rush six or seven players on any drop-back. The Broncos totaled eight disruptions — four sacks, three knockdowns and one pressure.

The sacks came in 2.09 (outside linebacker Bradley Chubb), 2.94 (defensive end Dre’Mont Jones) and 2.96 and 4.64 seconds (outside linebacker Malik Reed.) Chubb was unblocked after left tackle Eric Fisher looked inside at blitzing linebacker Alexander Johnson.

Third down effectiveness. The Chiefs went 0 for 8 on third down and needed an average of 9.1 yards per attempt including the end-of-game kneel-down.

It marked the sixth time since 1991 the Broncos have not allowed a third-down conversion — they are 4-2 in those games. New Orleans went 0 for 12 in 1994 but won 30-28.

Bouye’s return. Cornerback A.J. Bouye returned after missing four games with a shoulder injury and made two tackles on the first drive.

Bouye was targeted only one time in man coverage. On second-and-8 during the Chiefs’ opening possession, he gave Hill eight yards of cushion – Mahomes threw five yards to Hill, who gained six post-catch.

Working out of the slot, cornerback Bryce Callahan was targeted four times (two completions for 26 yards).

SPECIAL TEAMS

McManus’ miss. McManus was wide left on his first point-after attempt, allowing the Chiefs to lead 7-6. It was only the fourth miss out of 208 point-after attempts in McManus’ regular-season career. He has never missed two in a season.

Martin’s day. Punter Sam Martin averaged 46.7 yards net on three kicks and had an average hang time of 3.91 seconds.

Hamler’s decision. In place of Diontae Spencer (shoulder), KJ Hamler was one of the punt returners. Tommy Townsend’s second-quarter punt landed at the 4-yard line, bounced forward and then took a right-hand turn (downed at the 1-yard line). Hamler made the right call in not catching it; he later muffed a fair catch that was recovered by teammate Essang Bassey.

CU Buffs recipients creating influence in each 3 periods of game

Throughout his nearly five years on the coaching staff at Colorado, offensive coordinator Darrin Chiaverini has made his mark as a recruiter.

In particular, the former receiver and current receivers coach has stockpiled that position group with talent. Going into the 2020 season, it is once again one of the deepest position groups on the Buffaloes roster.

Despite losing Laviska Shenault and Tony Brown to the NFL, the Buffs return two starters – senior KD Nixon and sophomore Dimitri Stanley – as well as potential breakout star Daniel Arias, other veterans who have waited their turn and four talented true freshmen.

“We’re so deep at that spot,” CU head coach Karl Dorrell said. “There’s a number of guys that can be helping us this year. We got to narrow that down at some point. But it’s a good problem to have. It’s a great problem to have. We’re very fortunate at that position.”

They are fortunate in a number of ways, actually.

While they will narrow down which receivers become the primary targets on game day, the entire group is making an impact in other areas.

Every day at practice, CU’s young players in the secondary are benefiting from going against that receiver talent and the Buffs’ inexperienced quarterbacks are enjoying the luxury of throwing to them. On special teams, there are a number of receivers who could fill roles as returners.

Sophomore Dimitri Stanley is one of several talented receivers for the Colorado Buffaloes.

The Buffs have 13 defensive backs on scholarship, but six have never played a snap at CU and five others have less than 400 career snaps (roughly half a season) under their belt, so facing the talent at receiver every day has helped.

“When you’ve got to run down the field with Daniel Arias, there’s not a lot of people that’s running like him,” said safety Derrion Rakestraw, the lone senior in the secondary. “So, this is definitely helping us, having to cover those quick guys in the slot and then having to go out there and cover the long guys on the outside. It’s helping us a lot.”

Assistant coach Brett Maxie, who works with defensive backs, said: “We’re making them better and then consequently they’re making us better in terms of not just in the passing game but in the run game, when those guys come down to block us.”

At quarterback, the Buffs have senior Sam Noyer, junior Tyler Lytle and true freshman Brendon Lewis competing for the starting job and backup roles. Combined, they have thrown just 47 career passes and have no career starts, but developing chemistry with CU’s receivers is helping them prepare.

“We’re all good friends with the quarterbacks, all three of them and even the walk-ons,” said Stanley, who caught 29 passes for 312 yards last season. “It just comes down to getting that work done with them, and they’ve done an excellent job of just being prepared and knowing what they’re doing and getting guys right and building that chemistry up when they do get the opportunity.”

Stanley, Arias, junior Jaylon Jackson and other receivers have said building chemistry with the quarterbacks goes well beyond the past two weeks of practices.

Jackson, in his fourth year at CU, has worked with Noyer and Lytle in practice for years. Arias said the receivers and quarterbacks have spent all offseason working together – although the process is ongoing.

“We’re still building our chemistry every single day, still getting better every single day, still working every single day,” Arias said. “We’ve had a lot of extra time just talking. (Friday), I was in the film room with the QBs, going over some routes and talking about where I should be at and how long it should take for me to get from point A to point B, so the chemistry is still building. We’re getting there, so we’re just going to keep working.”

In addition, the receivers should make an impact on special teams. Stanley, junior Maurice Bell and freshman Chris Carpenter are among the handful of players practicing as returners. Stanley and Nixon were the primary returners in 2019.

As they make an impact on other areas of the roster, CU’s receivers continue to improve each other, as well, through the competitiveness in their group.

“We have a lot of depth at receiver, so it’s kind of just been whatever rotation we need, what guys need to get in, what guys need some work, what guys need a little rest time,” Stanley said. “We’re not skipping a step wherever we’re at. We’ve just got a bunch of talent in the wide receiver room and whoever plays can play.”

Clayton Kershaw quits take of home, hands Dodgers 3-2 World Series lead

ARLINGTON, Texas — Clayton Kershaw’s glittering career lacked two of the most satisfying accomplishments: a win deep in the World Series and a championship ring.

He took the mound Sunday night with the Los Angeles Dodgers shaken, and Kershaw steadied his team with a gritty performance, plus one particular delivery home that will long be remembered.

Now with one more victory, the Dodgers would claim their first title since 1988.

Kershaw beat the Tampa Bay Rays for the second time in six days, escaping a fourth-inning jam with a quick reaction throw to cut down a runner trying for a rare steal of home, and the Dodgers held on for a 4-2 win and a 3-2 Series lead.

Mookie Betts and Corey Seager sparked a two-run first inning, and Joc Pederson and Max Muncy homered off long-ball prone Tyler Glasnow, whose 100 mph heat got burned.

His scraggly dark brown hair dangling with sweat, Kershaw was cruising when Dodgers manager Dave Roberts removed the 32-year-old left-hander in favor of Dustin May after getting two outs on two pitches in the sixth inning.

The mostly pro-Dodgers fans in the pandemic-reduced crowd of 11,437 booed when Roberts walked to the mound, well aware of what happened with the bullpen the previous night, when closer Kenley Jansen wasted a ninth-inning lead in a stunning 8-7 loss.

Those boos quickly turned to cheers as the LA rooters saluted Kershaw, a three-time NL Cy Young Award winner, as he walked to the dugout. Kershaw improved to 13-12 in postseason play, including 4-1 this year.

May, Victor Gonzalez and Blake Treinen combined for two-hit scoreless relief. May got five outs, Gonzlaez stranded a pair of runners in the eighth by retiring Randy Arozarena and Brandon Lowe on flyouts, and Treinen got three outs to become the fourth Dodgers pitcher with a postseason save.

Manuel Margot singled leading off the ninth, but Austin Meadows struck out, Joey Wendle flied out and Willy Adames struck out.

Thirty of the previous 46 teams to win Game 5 for a 3-2 lead have won the title, but just six of the last 14. Teams that wasted 3-2 leads include last year’s Houston Astros.

Los Angeles did not have an obvious candidate to start Game 6 on Tuesday, when Game 2 winner Blake Snell starts for Tampa Bay,

Walker Buehler, the 26-year-old right-hander who has supplanted Kershaw at the Dodgers’ ace, is waiting in the wings for a a Game 7 like a Hollywood understudy ready for a leading role.

With a 175-76 regular-season record, five ERA titles and an MVP, Kershaw ranks alongside Dodgers greats Sandy Koufax, Fernando Valenzuela and Orel Hershiser. He won World Series openers in 2017 and again this year, but he faltered in Game 5 in both 2017 and 2018 and has never won a title.

He shut down the Rays on two runs and five hits with six strikeouts and two walks. He’s 2-0 with a 2.31 ERA in 15 2/3 innings over two starts in this Series with 14 strikeouts and three walks. Kershaw also set a career postseason record with 207 strikeouts, two more than Justin Verlander’s previous mark.

Provided a 3-0 lead, Kershaw allowed Tampa Bay to pull within a run in the third when Kevin Kiermaier singled, Yandy Díaz tripled on a ball down the right-field line that skipped past Betts and Arozarena’s single. The 25-year-old Cuban rookie asked for the ball after his record 27th postseason hit, one more than San Francisco’s Pablo Sandoval in 2014.

Kershaw escaped a first-and-third, no-outs jam in the fourth after Margot walked leading off, stole second and continued to third when the ball got away from second baseman Chris Taylor for his second big error in two games. Hunter Renfroe also walked, but Wendle popped out and Adames struck out.

With Kiermaier at the plate, Margot bolted for home as Kershaw raised both hands over his head in his instantly recognizable stretch position. While many pitchers might have panicked and perhaps balked, Kershaw coolly and quickly stepped off the rubber and calmly threw to catcher Austin Barnes.

Barnes grabbed the ball and got his mitt down on the Margot’s outstretched hand while the runner’s helmet tumbled off and cut his own lip.

Margot went on his own, manager Kevin Cash said, and became the first runner caught stealing home in the Series since Minnesota’s Shane Mack in Game 4 in 2001.

Globe Life Field’s roof was closed on the cool, rainy night, as it was for Game 3, and the visiting Dodgers broke on top within 10 pitches against Glasnow, a lanky 6-foot-8 right-hander who appeared to be overthrowing.

Glasnow allowed four runs and six hits in five innings, leaving him 0-2 with a 9.64 ERA in the Series. The two home runs raised his total to a record nine in a single postseason.

Betts doubled on a 99 mph fastball leading off and scored two pitches later when Seager pulled a curveball into right field for a single and his 19th postseason RBI. This Series joined 1932 as the only years with runs in four straight top of the first innings.

Seager advanced on a wild pitch, Muncy drew his 20th walk of the postseason and after a two-out wild pitch, Cody Bellinger hit a grounder that was stopped with no play by Lowe, the second baseman positioned on the right field grass. Seager scored the Dodgers’ 58th run with two outs this postseason and became the first player to cross the plate in each of the first five Series games since the Yankees’ Derek Jeter in 2000.

Glasnow needed 34 pitches to get three outs, his most in the first inning since Sept. 5, 2018. He tied a Series record with two wild pitches in the inning and set the mark with three in the game.

Pederson hit a 428-foot opposite-field drive to left on a fastball at the letters for a 3-0 lead in the second.

Glasnow retired eight straight before Muncy homered in the fifth to make it 4-2. He became the record ninth Dodgers player to homer in the postseason, one more than the 1989 Oakland Athletics of Bash Brothers fame.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Dodgers: Bellinger was back in center field, a day after switching to designated hitter because of lower back stiffness.

UP NEXT

Snell, the 2018 AL Cy Young Award winner, allowing two runs and two hits in 4 2/3 innings in Game 2 with nine strikeouts and four walks.

Broncos Q-and-A: What took place on quarterback Drew Padlock's second-quarter pick-six?

Question: Did the Broncos’ chances Sunday against Kansas City end with safety Daniel Sorenson’s 50-yard interception return touchdown?

Answer: Yes. Kansas City led 10-6, but the Broncos had started their drive at the 1-yard line and moved to the 49.

On first down, quarterback Drew Lock was sacked to set up second-and-13 from the 46. The Broncos emptied the backfield and had Lock in the shotgun.

At the snap, the Chiefs rushed six defenders against five blockers and linebacker Anthony Hitchens was the unaccounted blitzer. He had a free run at Lock, who threw side-armed and off his back foot in 1.59 seconds.

The pass to tight end Noah Fant had little velocity and was semi off-target. Sorenson read the play perfectly and cut in front of Fant for the score.

Q: Moments later, the Broncos gave up their first kickoff return touchdown since 2017. What happened?

A: Either the Broncos had terrible pursuit or the Chiefs perfectly-blocked Byron Pringle’s 102-yard return.

Brandon McManus’ hang time was 4.02 seconds so it wasn’t a line drive. To Pringle’s right, Royce Freeman and Essang Bassey weren’t in position to make the tackle and Derrek Tuszka was double-teamed. To Pringle’s left, Duke Dawson and Tyrie Cleveland over-pursued and Pringle cut to the middle of the field to make them miss. The only player to get a hand on Pringle was Nigel Bradham.

Pringle’s touchdown made it 24-9 Chiefs.

Q: The comedy of errors continued in the second half on the botched flea-flicker. Ever seen the kind of toss Melvin Gordon tried to attempt?

A: Nope. The Broncos’ initial second-half drive was in business after a 12-yard catch by receiver Tim Patrick and 10-yard end-around run by receiver KJ Hamler.

Gordon received the hand-off from Lock with no issues. As he turned around, Gordon appeared to get tangled up with center Lloyd Cushenberry and right guard Graham Glasgow.

Whether that contact impacted Gordon’s flip back, we don’t know — he declined to meet with the media after the game. The flip was high and Lock could only get a hand on it before it bounded backward. The Chiefs’ Frank Clark got a perfect bounce and returned it the Broncos’ 14-yard line.

Q: The Broncos aren’t used to losing at home by 27 points. How rare was this kind of blowout?

A: Pretty rare. The 27-point margin of defeat was the 12th-biggest in franchise history and the largest since Detroit beat the Broncos 45-10 in November 2011.

The Chiefs hold the record for two biggest blowout home losses by the Broncos — 59-7 in 1963 and 56-10 in 1966.

Q: The Broncos’ defense didn’t allow a third-down conversion and only one offensive touchdown in the first three quarters. What more do they need to do?

A: First up is takeaways. The Broncos had a minus-3 differential on Sunday and they’re at minus-5 for the year (tied for third-worst).

But the Broncos need to look at the big plays Kansas City made to get into scoring possession.

First quarter (Kansas City touchdown): The Chiefs had plays of 13, 11, 19 and 11 yards.

Second quarter (field goal): The Chiefs had plays of 16 and 38 yards.

Third quarter (field goal): The Chiefs had plays of 16 and 17 yards to start the drive.

Fourth quarter (touchdown): The Chiefs had plays of 17, 22 and 10 yards.

Tom Brady's 4 TD passes lead Buccaneers past Raiders

LAS VEGAS — Tom Brady dropped back and lofted a pass that just got over the defender’s arms and fell into Scotty Miller’s hands right before he reached the sideline for a 33-yard TD pass.

The 43-year-old Brady is getting back to his Super Bowl-winning form following an early season adjustment to his new team in Tampa Bay.

Brady threw four touchdown passes to move past Drew Brees for the most in NFL history and ran for another to lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 45-20 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

“We’re 5-2, in a decent place, not quite at the halfway point in the year,” Brady said. “We’ve got a lot of football left. We’re going to need everybody, and we’re going to need everybody’s best. And we’re going to expect everybody’s best and we’re going to try to meet the challenge every week.”

Brady finished 33 for 45 for 369 yards, while also running for Tampa Bay’s first score on a 1-yard sneak in the first quarter.

He now has 15 TD passes and one interception the past four games as he has found his rhythm with his new team.

“I think it’s knowing the guys better, knowing the system better, everything that we change each week,” coach Bruce Arians said. “There’s such good communication of what we’re trying to get done, where the ball should be going versus each coverage. It’s just total growth in the offense.”

Brady connected with Rob Gronkowski in the second quarter and then delivered his best pass of the day to Miller in the final minute of the first half. He then helped seal the game with the throw to Chris Godwin that put the Bucs up 31-20 over the Raiders (3-3) midway through the fourth quarter.

Brady added a fourth to rookie Tyler Johnson with 3:08 to play to give him 559 in his career, passing Brees for the most ever. Brees threw two earlier in the day for New Orleans.

Now Brady could be getting even more help when Antonio Brown joins the team following next week’s game.

“He’s a tremendous football player,” Brady said. “I played with him for a brief period of time. I’m looking forward to working with him again and see what role he can come in (and play).”

The 4-yard pass to Godwin was part of a key stretch when it appeared the Raiders were in position for a comeback after cutting the deficit to 24-17 on Derek Carr’s second TD pass of the game.

The Raiders then got a stop and were driving for the potential tying score before coming up 1 yard short of a first down on a third-and-4 pass to Darren Waller. Coach Jon Gruden opted for a field goal to make it 24-20.

Brady then engineered another TD drive to make it an 11-point game and the Bucs (5-2) put it away when Carr threw an interception on Las Vegas’ next play to set up Ronald Jones’ 1-yard run.

Carr went 24 for 36 for 284 yards, two TDs and one interception as the Raiders were unable to build on a big win at Kansas City before the bye after being without their starting offensive line all week in practice.

Starting right tackle Trent Brown tested positive for COVID-19 and four other starting linemen were sent home Wednesday because they had “high-risk” contact with Brown and didn’t rejoin the team until Sunday morning.

“I’m not going to use any excuses, we can’t,” Carr said. “We’re in a production-oriented business. The miscommunication, absolutely, it took place. It’s a game of practice, it really is. You got to be available, not just for Sundays, you got to be available all throughout the week cause there’s so much information that goes into it.”

EJECTED

The Raiders lost guard Gabe Jackson to an ejection in the third quarter after Carr’s 1-yard TD pass to Waller that cut Tampa Bay’s lead to 24-17. The officials determined that Jackson stepped on an opponent’s shoulder during a scrum after the play and he was ejected.

FAVORITE TARGET I

Carr looked for his favorite target on the opening drive, connecting on a 28-yard pass to Agholor and then a 21-yard TD. That made Carr 12 for 13 for 234 yards and four TDs with a perfect 158.3 passer rating when throwing to Agholor. It also gave the Raiders their first opening drive TD since Week 16 of last season vs. the Chargers.

FAVORITE TARGET II

Brady connected with Gronkowski for the second straight week with a 5-yard TD pass in the second quarter. That’s the 92nd time those two teamed up on a TD pass in the regular season or playoffs, tying the duo of Steve Young and Jerry Rice for the second most ever. Only Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison have more with 114.

INJURY REPORT

Buccaneers: CB Carlton Davis left in the second half with a chest injury, but returned to the game.

Raiders: T Sam Young left with a knee injury in the second quarter and didn’t return.

UP NEXT

Buccaneers: Visit the Giants on Monday, Nov. 2

Raiders: Visit Cleveland on Sunday.
