Broncos’ five-game groove comes to screeching halt in Houston. Now they’ve got little room for error.

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 16:02:54 GMT

The difference between a groove and a rut is all about the edges.Run a string down the center line of either, and you’ll find few impediments.On the margins, though, a groove is smooth. Precise. Designed to allow an object already in motion to stay in motion.A rut is rough around the edges. Bouncy. Always threatening to knock a traveler off-kilter.Or, in this case, knock the Broncos off a miracle playoff run just as it picked up steam.Denver’s postseason hopes aren’t dead after a frustrating, rutty 22-17 loss at Houston, but its path narrowed considerably Sunday when it came up 8 yards short of victory.“Disappointing loss,” head coach Sean Payton said. “Thought we were sloppy for most of the game.”The fine line distinguishing grooves from ruts has been Payton’s preferred metaphor all season. First he used it as a battle cry during Denver’s slow start. Then as a warning against complacency as his team got hot.Now it’s representative of the minuscule gap between succ...

Bowl selection winners and losers: CFP selections reflect coming reality where Big Ten and SEC dominate the sport

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 16:02:54 GMT

The final year of the four-team College Football Playoff offers two sizzling matchups, one major controversy and a glimpse into college football’s next iteration.The era of SEC and Big Ten hegemony, which officially begins next season when the conferences add a slew of powerhouse programs, is already underway.Who won Sunday with the reveal of the playoff and bowl pairings?The Big Ten, because Michigan is the No. 1 seed.The SEC, because one-loss Alabama snuck in at the expense of undefeated Florida State.The other two teams in the semifinals? Washington, which is leaving the Pac-12 for the Big Ten, and Texas, which is leaving the Big 12 for the SEC.All four participants will be in the two richest conferences at this time next year.The other leagues are left with nothing but frustration and destruction.The Pac-12 (as we know it) is going away.The Big 12 is losing its blue bloods.And the ACC would be concerned about the landscape if it weren’t outraged over Florida State, its 13-...

Instant analysis of 49ers’ 42-19 victorious visit to Philadelphia Eagles

Published Mon, 11 Nov 2024 16:02:54 GMT

PHILADELPHIA – Last time here, George Kittle lamented the 49ers’ NFC Championship Game loss with a statement that would essentially define their triumphant 42-19 return Sunday.“You didn’t really get to see all the 49er football that we wanted to put out there on tape,” Kittle said after January’s 31-7 loss. “But life kind of just punches you in the face sometimes.”Sunday, the 49ers scored touchdowns on six consecutive possessions to seize control, and, along the way, Dre Greenlaw punched – or at least poked – the face of the Eagles’ security chief in a sideline scrap that merely paused the 49ers’ momentum.Scoring three of those touchdowns was Deebo Samuel, the 49ers’ most vocal critic of the Eagles after last season’s loss, in which quarterback Brock Purdy sustained a torn elbow ligament that rendered the offense toothless.Purdy added to this vibrant comeback by outperforming his Eagles’ counterpart, Jalen Hurts, who briefly got knocked out of the game ...
