Broncos report card: A sterling performance from Wil Lutz is enough for a “W” when not much else looked pretty

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:10:39 GMT

Offense — CThe Broncos squandered a couple of opportunities early and settled for field goals in the red zone, but thanks to their defense and a hapless opponent, they had plenty of time to find their stride. As it has most of the year, Denver’s run game produced efficient results. Unlike much of the season, coach Sean Payton actually had the scoreboard and the inclination to stick with it. An 18-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter to Courtland Sutton put a nice bow on his best outing of the season: six catches for 76 yards and the score. Denver didn’t do a ton in the second half after that, but ran the ball well enough to get into range for a go-ahead field goal and avoided the big mistake. Play turnover-free football and you’ve got a chance to win this type of game.Defense — CIt started off so well on Sunday for the Broncos defense against Green Bay. They put together a solid outing against Kansas City in Week 6 and then yielded very little to the Packers through ...

Jared Bednar, undefeated Avs not satisfied, still “nowhere near as good as we can play”

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:10:39 GMT

The way several Avalanche players and their coach spoke Saturday night after a convincing victory to begin the season with five straight wins, it sounded as if they were disappointed their record wasn’t somehow six and negative one.The Avs ambushed the Carolina Hurricanes, one of the best defensive teams in the league for several years running, with a five-goal second-period flurry Saturday en route to a 6-4 triumph. Everything this Avalanche team has — star power, depth, excellent special teams, an ability to impose its will and style of play on its opponent — was on display against a team, albeit shorthanded, that many pundits predicted would win the Stanley Cup this season.Those weren’t the things that the players and coach Jared Bednar were focused on after the contest.“Maybe I’m just hard on our team because I expect a lot, but I think they expect a lot,” Bednar said. “I think we’ve done a nice job. I’m happy with the results. But I know that it is...

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:10:39 GMT

If you haven’t had the chance to see the Orionid meteor shower yet, there is still time.The meteor shower is expected to peak Sunday evening across the United States, according to CNN, at a rate of 10 to 20 meteors per hour.The tiny meteors are particles of Halley’s Comet, which is currently in the middle of its 76-year orbit around the sun. It won’t pass by Earth again until 2061.The Orionids, as they’re known, peak in mid-October each year. They are known for their brightness, and also for their speed since they travel at 41 miles per second, according to NASA.No telescope is needed to see the meteors shooting across the sky, but clear skies are a must.“Find an area well away from the city or street lights. Come prepared with a sleeping bag, blanket, or lawn chair,” NASA recommends. “Lie flat on your back with your feet facing southeast … and look up, taking in as much of the sky as possible. In less than 30 minutes in the dark, your eyes will adapt and you will begin to see meteo...

Do you hit the snooze button in the morning? A new study reveals if that’s a bad habit

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:10:39 GMT

Do you set an early alarm in the morning and then hit snooze a bunch of times? Well, a new study says that habit might not be a bad thing.Hitting snooze or using intermittent alarms in the morning to get some just a few more minutes of sleep was the subject of a new study published in the Journal of Sleep Research.The study of more than 1,700 people showed that there were no clear effects of snoozing on stress hormone levels, morning sleepiness, mood or overnight sleep structure.Of those who participated in the study, 69% said that they used the snooze function or set multiple alarms at least “sometimes.”“The findings indicate that there is no reason to stop snoozing in the morning if you enjoy it, at least not for snooze times around 30 minutes,” said corresponding author Tina Sundelin, Ph.D., of Stockholm University. “In fact, it may even help those with morning drowsiness to be slightly more awake once they get up.”The average time for snoozing...
