The Broncos have made passing a kidney stone look easier than passing the football the past eight years. Only two quarterbacks since Peyton Manning boast a winning record – Trevor Siemian and Brett Rypien – and Russell Wilson is the only starter of the last 13 to eclipse 20 touchdowns in a season. Coach Sean Payton thought so little of Wilson’s style that he decided he would rather take an $85 million cap hit than continue playing him. He now has his guy in Bo Nix.

MINNEAPOLIS – The face of the Nuggets’ most impressive win of the season wore orange sherbet and raspberry kicks and a black hat. Jamal Murray stepped onto the Target Center court to thunderous boos and embraced the role of the villain. After throwing a towel Monday, Murray refused to throw in the towel Friday. He embarrassed the organization with his actions and his lack of accountability following Game 2.

The Nuggets have made this a series, for now at least. They still must win Sunday at Target Center to avoid facing three consecutive elimination games, but a clinical 117-90 victory Friday over the Timberwolves closed the gap to 2-1 in the second round of the playoffs.

Initial thoughts from the Nuggets’ Game 3 Western Conference Semifinal win over the Timberwolves: Murray the Bad Guy is a Good Thing: Jamal Murray wanted the smoke more than the Marlboro Man.

Rangers right-hander Jon Gray and Rockies lefty Austin Gomber engaged in a sensational pitching dual Friday night at Coors Field. But 37-year-old Charlie Blackmon stole the show. The veteran ripped a two-out, two-run double off of right-hander Yerry Rodríguez in the eighth inning to lift the Rockies to a 4-2 victory and give them their first winning streak of the season. By winning two in a row — the Rockies beat the Giants on Thursday — the Rockies snapped a streak of 51 games without consecutive wins (37 games in 2024), the longest stretch in franchise history. Leave it to Blackmon, a franchise icon, to be the difference-maker. “I’m not a big, rah-rah, super-emotion guy, but I do like to come through in big spots and big team situations,” said Blackmon, who had tied the game in the seventh by sprinting from first to home on a shallow popup to center that turned into an error.
