Broncos troll Steph Curry, Panthers with funny Scott Van Pelt video

After beating the Panthers on Sunday, the Broncos shared a funny Steph Curry video on social media.

After defeating the Carolina Panthers 28-14 on Sunday, the Denver Broncos trolled their opponent and NBA star Steph Curry with a funny video.

Curry, a big Panthers fan, appeared on a Monday Night Football halftime interview with ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt last week. At the end of the interview, Curry signed off with “Go Panthers.” SVP responded with “Good luck with that” and a laugh, which also drew a laugh from Curry.

The Broncos’ official Twitter/X page turned that video clip into a meme following their win over the Panthers in Week 8:

Denver’s social media team also made light of the crazy raccoon incident at Empower Field at Mile High earlier this month. The Broncos re-shared a viral photo of a fan handling a raccoon in the stands with the Panthers’ logo placed over the ‘coon:

This one felt a little bit more like a stretch, but with no raccoon-themed teams on their schedule, the Broncos had to make use of this photo at some point.

Well done, social media team. Well done.

Garett Bolles went viral after he ‘manhandled’ Chase Young on ‘TNF’

Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles easily dispatched Saints pass rusher Chase Young on this play!

In the fourth quarter of a Thursday Night Football showdown in Week 7, Denver Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles easily tossed New Orleans Saints pass rusher Chase Young to the ground while protecting quarterback Bo Nix.

The play quickly went viral on social media and reactions poured in from fans and pundits on Twitter/X.

“Garett Bolles just manhandles Chase Young,” Brandon Perna tweeted after the play.

Added another fan: “Garett Bolles just threw Chase Young out the club! #Security 💀”

“Bolles looks like he can’t believe it was that easy to swat him onto the floor 🤦‍♂️😂,” one fan wrote.

“I could watch this all day,” a Broncos fan tweeted.

Check it out:

Young received plenty of criticism for the play.

“dude is so hard to watch and his effort on some plays is just pitiful,” one Saints fan commented.

Added another fan: “All that left tackle did was sneeze. Damn, Chase.”

As for Bolles, he had an excellent game. The veteran left tackle finished the night as Denver’s best offensive player based on Pro Football Focus grades (83.1). PFF gave him a 90.6 pass-blocking grade and credited him with zero pressures allowed in a 33-10 win.

Wil Lutz had a perfect response after being booed by Saints fans

Saints fans booed their former kicker during ‘Thursday Night Football.’ Wil Lutz had a perfect response after the game.

Sean Payton wasn’t the only one who faced his former team when the Denver Broncos took on the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night.

Payton’s staff includes 14 coaches/personnel members plus eight players who used to work for the Saints, including kicker Wil Lutz.

Lutz was called into action four times for field goal attempts at the Caesars Superdome and fans in New Orleans welcomed him back to the stadium with loud boos. That didn’t stop Lutz from going a perfect 4-of-4 on FG attempts.

Lutz, 30, played for the Saints from 2016-2022 before being traded to the Broncos ahead of the 2023 season. The decision to boo him was a curious one.

Lutz finished the game perfect on field goal attempts and 3-of-3 on extra point attempts, giving him 15 points in a 33-10 victory.

After the game, Lutz had a perfect response to the booing.

“Ehh, I think we know who was getting booed out the building 🤣,” Lutz tweeted. “All love WhoDatNation 🖤”

Lutz is now 17-of-18 on field goal attempts this season and 12-of-12 on extra point attempts. He has accounted for 63 of Denver’s 145 points in 2024.

Everyone loved Malcolm Roach dropping into coverage on ‘TNF’

“I always like to talk trash with the DBs and tell them I’m a real DB at heart,” Malcolm Roach said after the Broncos’ win on ‘TNF.’

In the third quarter of a Thursday Night Football game against the New Orleans Saints in Week 7, Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph called a play that had defensive tackle Malcolm Roach drop back into coverage.

Hilariously, it worked.

“Malcolm Roach nearly had an INT in coverage 15 yards down the field LOL,” Zac Stevens of DNVR wrote on social media.

Ryan McFadden of the Denver Post said the play “might be the highlight of the night.”

“I can’t stop laughing at VJ truly going [expletive] it mode and throwing Malcolm Roach into coverage and it worked,” a fan said on Twitter/X. “He really became a defensive madman after the Dolphins massacre.”

Check it out:

Everyone had similar reactions: “Malcolm Roach in coverage😭.”

Another fan wrote: “MALCOLM ROACH FOR PREZ.”

Everyone loved his celebration:

https://twitter.com/LTB_Muse/status/1847108027112927300

Even the Broncos’ official account chimed in with a meme:

“Malcolm Roach cele has me cryin,” one fan wrote. Added another fan: “Bro pulled the strap 😭.”

It looked like a play straight out of a video game.

“Me when I play madden and college football 25 🤣,” a fan commented. “gotten so many picks with linemen.”

Roach was asked about his celebration after the game.

“Yeah, it’s a little joke,” Roach explained. “We’ve been — I always like to talk trash with the DBs and tell them I’m a real DB at heart. So when I got the opportunity and made the play with the PBU, you know I just had to give them something. And I was over there by the sideline.”

https://twitter.com/Scotty_G6/status/1847133902659285140

Roach was officially credited with a pass breakup, giving him this stat line in a 33-10 victory: one tackle, one PBU. That’ll do.

Bo Nix was roasted for throwing the ball right between two wide-open receivers

The Broncos had two players wide-open in the first quarter against the Saints and Bo Nix threw it … right between both of them.

In the first quarter of a Thursday Night Football game against the New Orleans Saints in Week 7, Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix had an embarrassing moment when he overthrew tight end Lucas Krull and underthrew wide receiver Troy Franklin on the same play.

The mishap quickly went viral on social media, with the play approaching 10 million views on Twitter/X. Fans and pundits were quick to roast the rookie.

“Bo Nix somehow over threw and under threw a wide open receiver on the same play,” a meme account wrote on Twitter/X.

The Ringer’s Austin Gayle wrote: “bo nix threw it to the only spot two open receivers couldn’t get to.”

Warren Sharp chimed in: “This is not easy to do. Two wide open receivers … drops it to the turf perfectly between them both.”

See for yourself:

Bill Simmons called it “the funniest pass of the season. And maybe the decade.”

“Aim for the middle and you can never miss,” unless you’re Bo Nix,” one fan commented. Another fan added: “Maybe he wanted to see who really wanted it? 😭”

It seems that Nix’s inaccuracy was the result of very poor footwork, which fans noticed. “Why does he do that thing with his feet,” one fan asked.

“His footwork is horrible…can’t miss those throws,” one fan noted.

Hopefull this is something that coach Sean Payton can correct. Nix bounced back and finished the game with a 61.5% completion rate with 164 passing yards, 75 rushing yards and no turnovers in a 33-10 win.

NFL fans reacts to Riley Moss making plays on ‘Thursday Night Football’

Yes, the Broncos have a white cornerback. Yes, he’s good. Riley Moss turned heads on ‘Thursday Night Football’ against the Saints.

Denver Broncos second-year cornerback Riley Moss has impressed this season, and he played in a prime-time spotlight for the first time in Week 7 when the New Orleans Saints hosted the Broncos on Thursday Night Football.

Moss had been starting across from star cornerback Pat Surtain and holding his own through six games. With Surtain unavailable for Thursday’s game due to a concussion, Moss is Denver’s No. 1 cornerback this week.

Moss has been teased by fans and pundits (and even teammates) for being the NFL’s first white cornerback to start full-time since Jason Sehorn, who played for the New York Giants from 1994-2003.

Here’s a sampling of how Twitter/X reacted to Moss’ performance on Thursday:

Chiefs Travis Kelce reveals embarrassing moment on set of ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’

Kansas City #Chiefs Travis Kelce reveals embarrassing moment on set of ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’ | @EdEastonJr

The busy off-the-field life of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is well-documented. He has a growing acting career and is continuing to get his feet wet with hosting as he’ll do the honors for Prime Video’s ‘Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?’ premiering October 16th.

Kelce spoke recently to TODAY.com about an embarrassing moment while filming the new series.

“I was being silly with one of my friends backstage and trying to act like I was kicking them like I was Bruce Lee, and I ripped the entire inseam on my suit pants, and it took, like, 15 minutes for somebody to come in and sew that back together for me,” said Kelce. “So that was a really embarrassing moment, and I wasted some time, some valuable time, doing it.”

The All-Pro tight end will feature many notable names on the show, including Nicole Byer, Nikki Glaser, Lala Kent, and former Cincinnati Bengals star Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson, who have already been announced. It’s good to know he hasn’t lost that sense of humor while adjusting to the television hosting role.

Broncos WR Courtland Sutton says CB Pat Surtain ‘oozes’ aura

“Pat [Surtain] probably came out of the womb the way he is,” Courtland Sutton said. “He oozes that aura … The dude is a baller.”

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton goes up against star cornerback Pat Surtain at practice and the veteran receiver has had nothing but praise for his younger teammate.

“Pat probably came out of the womb the way he is,” Sutton said earlier this week. “He oozes that aura of the way that he plays the position, the way that he goes about himself. The dude is a baller. I say that while also saying that he works his butt off. He comes out here. You see him when special teams is going on or offense is out there, he’s out there doing little footwork [drills] and steps and working on his hands. He’s a technical master.

“For him to still hone his craft even being at this point in his career where everyone knows that he’s the best corner in our game. For him to still be so diligent in his work, I think that says a lot about him. I know that he’s going to have a lot more AFC [Defensive] Player of the Week [honors], and AFC Player of the Month [honors]. All these accolades are going to continue to pile up for him just based upon who he is and the way he goes about himself.”

Through five games this season, Surtain has totaled 14 tackles, four pass breakups, two interceptions and one defensive touchdown. PS2 is the best cornerback in the NFL, and he’s making an early case to win Defensive Player of the Year this season. Sutton said it best: Surtain oozes aura.

Ryan Clark praises Broncos CB Riley Moss in entertaining video

“This is a minority at the position!” Clark said of Riley Moss. “He became the first white cornerback to have an interception in 22 years!”

During a recent episode of Inside the NFL on the CW, former NFL safety Ryan Clark named Denver Broncos cornerback Riley Moss his “Football Guy” of the week.

Clark praised Moss for his play and mentioned what has been a trending topic in Broncos Country: Moss is a rare white cornerback.

“I’m going to read to you some of his stats: 19-for-31 when targeted, only 179 yards allowed on the entire season,” Clark said. “He has three pass defensed. He also had an interception last week against Gardner Minshew. He is one of 15 cornerbacks that have been targeted 30-plus times because he plays opposite Pat Surtain.

“But, wait, guys! I buried the lede! He’s white! He is a white [cornerback]! This is a minority at the position! Do you know the struggles this man had to go through? … He trusted the dream and this week when picking off Gardner Minshew, he became the first white cornerback to have an interception in 22 years! Since my teammate in 2022 Jason Sehorn.”

Clark then joked to Bill Belichick that the former coach was “like the Rosa Parks for [Moss].”

Clark played in the NFL from 2002-2014, winning Super Bowl XLIII with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2009. Moss was picked by Denver in the third round of last year’s NFL draft out of Iowa. A first-year starter, Moss has had an excellent start to the 2024 season.

Sean Payton responds to Bo Nix’s funny Ferris Bueller video

“It was outstanding … He’s got a good sense of humor,” Broncos coach Sean Payton said of Bo Nix’s Ferris Bueller video.

Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton and rookie quarterback Bo Nix had a heated sideline discussion during the team’s 34-18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon.

After the game, Payton said Nix has “a little bit of Ferris Bueller” in him, referencing the 1986 comedy starring Matthew Broderick.

Nix took that remark in stride and posted a funny highlight video on his Instagram page on Tuesday featuring one of the movie’s famous lines: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

Payton was asked about the video after Wednesday’s practice.

“It was outstanding,” Payton said. “He had to look up the freakin’ movie. It was outstanding. I think I ‘liked’ it — if that’s what the heart [button] means.

“He’s got a good sense of humor. And I think he had to have some help [to make the video]. He had to have some help. We’ll figure out who.”

Nix admitted that he did not make the video himself.

“I definitely didn’t do it. I’m not talented like that,” Nix said. “I just thought it was perfect timing to kind of use the game on Sunday and just have some fun with it.”

Payton said he called Nix “Ferris Bueller” at Wednesday’s practice and the quarterback responded by calling him “Dennis The Menace,” a nickname that was given to Payton by former coach Bill Parcells.

Nix said his teammates also appreciated the video.

“The guys liked the video, and they gave me a hard time about it,” the QB said. “I think it’s just kind of part of the game that you can have some fun with. Kind of just bring smiles and laughter.”

“Bo is doing it the correct way,” wide receiver Courtland Sutton said after practice. “That’s my thought. He’s hilarious, man.”

In case you missed Nix’s video:

Instant classic.
