Bo Nix is getting better and better and better.”

“Peyton Manning retired after the 2015 season, and from 2016-2023, the Denver Broncos threw 13 different quarterbacks into the fire to try and replace him,” said Farrar. “But now with 2024 first-round draft pick Bo Nix, Denver may finally have a guy to mercifully end that quarterback curse.”

Nix is certainly making a serious case for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Can he continue this high-quality quarterback play through the rest of the season?

Broncos troll Kirk Cousins, NFC South with funny tweets

The Broncos had a perfect reaction on Twitter after beating Kirk Cousins and sweeping the NFC South.

After a convincing 38-6 win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday afternoon, the Denver Broncos trolled quarterback Kirk Cousins and the entire NFC South division.

First up: a diamond-plated “W” necklace posted on their official Twitter/X page, a pretty obvious reference to Cousins and his “Kirko Chainz” nickname. Denver’s defense certainly got the best of Cousins on Sunday.

Cousins went 18-of-27 passing for 173 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. He was also sacked three times for losses of 21 yards and Atlanta’s offense only managed to score two field goals on the day.

Another great tweet from the Broncos’ official page featured a WWE meme video of the team taking care of business against the NFC South this fall. Denver went 4-0 against coach Sean Payton’s old division in 2024.

After sweeping the NFC South, the Broncos will now look to get their second AFC West victory of the season when they host the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12.

Twitter reacts to Broncos’ very orange uniform combination

The Denver Broncos wore orange jerseys and orange pants for the first time this season against the Atlanta Falcons. Do you like the look?

The Denver Broncos unveiled a new uniform look on Sunday — orange jerseys and orange pants with a blue helmet and blue socks.

The Broncos’ new uniform set includes a primary orange jersey and a white road jersey, plus an alternate navy jersey and a throwback orange jersey. When the team wears the primary orange or white jersey, they can wear one of three pants colors: white, orange or blue.

For the first time this season, Denver broke out orange pants to go with orange jerseys against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 11. Here’s a sampling of how fans and pundits reacted to the new look on Twitter/X.

The team’s jersey color has already been announced for every game in 2024, but the players pick the pants and sock colors each week.

The Broncos’ most popular uniform is their throwback look. Denver will break out the throwbacks one more time this season when the Broncos host the Kansas City Chiefs in their season finale in Week 18.

Falcons safety Justin Simmons says ‘F— them’ before Broncos game

Falcons safety Justin Simmons had a harsh message for the Broncos ahead of Sunday’s game.

Last week, Atlanta Falcons safety Justin Simmons noted that he might hear some boos when he returned to Empower Field at Mile High in Week 11.

“You know, I won’t hear as many cheers — probably a little bit more boos — but, again, I think that’s part of it,” Simmons told media members in Atlanta last week.

Simmons didn’t appear to be specifically booed early in Sunday’s game, but he might have been had Denver Broncos fans heard what he said in the huddle before the game.

Before facing his former team, Simmons said, “In front of their home town, [expletive] them!” Here’s video of the moment, courtesy of Scotty Gange of 9News:

Before that huddle, Simmons greeted former teammate Pat Surtain on the field before the game.

The Broncos made a difficult decision to release Simmons this spring in a move that saved the club $14.5 million in salary cap space. He later joined the Falcons on a one-year deal.

Last week, Denver wide receiver Courtland Sutton joked that he hoped Simmons wouldn’t greet him with a big hit in Week 11.

“I jokingly told him, ‘Hey, bro, if you see me coming across the middle, just remember we’re friends,'” Suttons said.

Simmons is one of four ex-Broncos who now play for the Falcons. Simmons played in Denver from 2016-2023, earning four second-team All-Pro honors and two Pro Bowl nods. Simmons ranks seventh on the Broncos’ all-time list with 30 interceptions.

Everyone raving about Commanders CB Mike Sainristil after performance vs. Eagles

Commanders CB Mike Sainristil was phenomenal against the Eagles. Here’s a collection of what some around the NFL said about Sainristil.

Lost in the talk surrounding Philadelphia Eagles rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell’s performance on Thursday night was another rookie cornerback. Washington Commanders rookie cornerback Mike Sainristil was equally as impressive as Mitchell, often with his less help.

While Mitchell often matched up with Commanders star Terry McLaurin, holding him without a catch (McLaurin had one reception for the game), the Eagles frequently gave him some help over the top.

Meanwhile, Washington’s struggling secondary needed someone to step up. Enter Sainristil. The second-round pick was expected to primarily play slot cornerback, but he’s been forced to play more outside out of necessity, and he’s thriving.

During Thursday’s loss to the Eagles, Sainristil matched up with A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jahan Dotson. He allowed two receptions on the night for a total of 31 yards. PFF gave him a grade of 89.0 — Washington’s highest of the night.

Commanders’ fans know they have a gem in Sainristil. Now, others are taking notice, too.

Check out some of these reactions to Sainristil’s play from X.

When Marshon Lattimore makes his debut, the Commanders’ cornerback position will quickly go from a weakness to a strength with him and Sainristil on the outside.

Eagles defeat Commanders: Twitter reacts to Washington’s prime-time loss

Twitter reacts to the Commanders’ second straight loss.

The Philadelphia Eagles improved to 8-2 with a 26-18 win over the Washington Commanders (7-4) on Thursday Night Football.

The Commanders led for much of this game despite a sluggish offensive performance. Quarterback Jayden Daniels struggled for the second consecutive game, completing 22 of 32 passes for 191 yards with a touchdown and interception. While Daniels’ final numbers were decent enough, he rarely threw the ball downfield, and his accuracy was off again.

Washington’s defense played well, helping the Commanders cling to a 10-6 lead early in the fourth quarter before Eagles running back Saquon Barkley busted loose for a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns. At this point, the Eagles seized momentum and never looked back. While Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts was sloppy, it was a dominant performance overall from the Eagles, specifically in the trenches.

How did X — formerly Twitter — react to Washington’s second consecutive loss? Let’s look at some of those reactions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Twitter can’t believe yet another missed call from Broncos-Chiefs game

The Chiefs got away with blatant penalties against the Broncos on Sunday. The NFL has to do something about the officiating.

The Kansas City Chiefs benefited from some questionable officiating in their 16-14 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday.

The most egregious case was a phantom illegal contact foul called against Broncos safety Brandon Jones in the second quarter. That penalty kept a Chiefs drive alive and was at least a four-point swing.

That certainly wasn’t the only questionable decision from the officiating crew.

NFL Network’s Brian Baldinger took to Twitter/X on Monday to show Kansas City’s offensive line getting away with an obvious hold.

“I don’t know, it’s getting like a little ridiculous right here,” Baldinger says as he shows Broncos defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers blatantly held by Chiefs offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor. “I’ll just leave the commentary to you. All right, they got the sack … but, I mean, I guess they’re just not gonna throw the flags.”

Fans, pundits and even former players have weighed in on the missed calls (and bad calls) from Sunday’s game.

Sayre Bedinger of Predominantly Orange summed it up well — it’s not that we believe there’s a grand conspiracy. Fans are simply tired of inconsistent officiating and Kansas City seemingly getting preferential treatment and the benefit of the doubt every week. It’s a recurring issue, and NFL fans are sick of it.

Even Pat Surtain’s dad (a former Chief) thinks the refs favor KC

Even Pat Surtain’s dad (a former Chief) was not happy with questionable officiating during Sunday’s game in Kansas City.

NFL fans have been suspicious in recent seasons that officials favor quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs with their calls. Sunday’s 16-14 win over the Denver Broncos certainly added fuel to the fire.

The Chiefs benefited from several questionable calls against the Broncos in Week 10, including a safety Brandon Jones being penalized for illegal contact, which negated a Nik Bonitto sack on third down.

After Kansas City was gifted a first down, they went on to score a touchdown, so that penalty was arguably a four-point swing. Fans and pundits quickly lashed out against the call on Twitter/X.

Among those who objected to the call was the father of Denver cornerback Pat Surtain II — Patrick Surtain Sr. tweeted: “These refs…smh.”

The elder Surtain played cornerback in the NFL from 1998-2008, spending his final four years in the NFL with the Chiefs. He obviously has more loyalty to his son than to his former team.

The Broncos had plenty of chances to win Sunday’s game, and they acknowledged that after the loss. Fans will cope with conspiracy theories, but Denver can’t blame the officials. The Broncos need to play better going forward, even if it feels like the officiating is one-sided.
