This season, the Broncos allowed 70 points to the Miami Dolphins. They blew a 21-3 lead to the Washington Commanders and lost to a New York Jets team missing quarterback Aaron Rodgers.But none of that seemed to matter in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game against Kansas City.When safety Justin Simmons intercepted quarterback Patrick Mahomes with under five minutes left in the fourth quarter and kicker Wil Lutz drilled a 28-yard field goal to solidify a 24-9 win, there was a sense of belief inside Empower Field at Mile High that hasn’t been felt all season.“I’ve been in this organization (for a while),” said left tackle Garett Bolles, who played in his 90th career game for Denver. “I’ve sweated (and) I’ve bled. I love this organization more than anything. My family has grown up here. So for us to win a big game like that and knowing that there’s an opportunity to play in bigger games, God is good.”The Broncos seemingly hit rock bottom after starting the season 0-3, punctuated by a 7...

Chris Paul comes off bench, Steph Curry ices Warriors road win vs. Rockets

HOUSTON — Chris Paul can remember only twice coming off the bench in his entire basketball career.The last time was for Team USA’s “Redeem Team” in the 2008 Olympics that featured LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Dwyane Wade. The only other time came way back to 2004, his Wake Forest college days, when Paul missed the bus for a game against Temple and sat out the first four minutes.Paul had started every one of his 1,365 regular season and playoff games in his 19-year NBA career until Sunday’s game against the Houston Rockets (0-3). Three games into his tenure with the Warriors, Paul came off the bench to make room for Draymond Green’s season debut and return to the starting five. The plan is to go with the same starters on Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans, too.“Who likes new things, you know what I’m saying? (But) It’s not a matter of liking it,” Paul said. “It’s new. I don’t know, I don’t hate it. It’s not a matter of liking it. ...

It only got worse after kickoff.The Kansas City quarterback couldn’t shake off the effects of flu-like symptoms or shake free from a buzzing Denver defense as he turned in one of the most pedestrian performances of his career in a 24-9 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. “Worst I felt walking out of the stadium,” Mahomes said after his first loss in seven starts in Denver and the Chiefs’ first loss to the Broncos since 2015. “Obviously, it wasn’t our day.”He doesn’t have many off days, especially on the road against AFC West teams. Mahomes was 16-0 away from Arrowhead in divisional games until a bitterly cold Sunday afternoon in the Mile High City.He was a late entrant on the injury report due to being under the weather. It was nothing but downhill from there. Mahomes was out of sync (first game without a passing TD in nearly two years), off target (throwing two interceptions, los...
