With all the hype surrounding Taylor Swift this week, the Vikings were set to host the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs regardless of whether she showed up to U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday afternoon.Never mind the relevance in pop culture. This was simply a chance for the for the Vikings to turn things around after a rough first month.In the end, the Vikings suffered a 27-20 loss to the defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs, dropping to 1-4 despite battling tough for a good chunk of the game.As tough as the result was for the Vikings to stomach in real time, the biggest loss was superstar receiver Justin Jefferson, who left the game with a hamstring injury and did not return. It goes without saying, but if Jefferson has to miss an extended period of time, it could be tough sledding moving forward.It was another disastrous start for the Vikings after they received the opening kickoff.

Broncos report card: Ugly marks all around after Denver offense goes dark for 25 minutes, defense battered in 31-21 loss to Jets

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:59:38 GMT

Offense — FWhat is it going to take for the Broncos offense to start a second half in rhythm? They’ve deferred the coin toss each of the first five games this year and those half-openers have finished in four three-and-outs and a missed field goal. Sean Payton’s offense netted minus-16 yards on four third-quarter possessions against the Jets. Even two drives that stalled inside the New York 5-yard line in the first half looked pretty by comparison.Denver ran it all over New York early on and then did nothing — for long stretches literally less than nothing — most of the rest of the afternoon. Wilson mounted a 75-yard touchdown drive to get the Broncos within 24-21 with 4:44 to go, but then fumbled about 20 yards short of field goal range in the final minute. Ouch. He got battered all day by a barrage of pressure and hits from the Jets’ dominating front four.Defense — DThe best thing to be said about Vance Joseph’s group on Sunday is that it didn’t allow a touchdown to the Jets in th...

Broncos four downs: Denver has now lost to Zach Wilson twice at home. Not great, Broncos Country. Not great at all.

Initial thoughts from Broncos’ 31-21 loss to the New York Jets in Week 5 at Empower Field at Mile High:Snowcapped helmets: It’s time. Time to bring back the D. It just feels right. The flying Bronco had his time. And it was glorious. Four Super Bowl trips. Three Lombardi Trophies. John Elway’s helicopter run. Von Miller tugging on Superman’s cape. But it just isn’t the D. The Broncos’ Snowcapped helmets were a nice reminder of that Sunday, even if the all-orange pants and tops that accompanied them were a complete abomination. The old is new again, and it should be here to stay.Feelin’ Jaleel: Five games in, there is no longer a debate. Jaleel McLaughlin is Denver’s most explosive running back, and getting him the ball 12-15 times a game should be a top priority. Head coach Sean Payton appeared to agree Sunday (at least early on). The undrafted free agent was the first running back on the field, and he had eight touches for 83 yards and a to...
