Russell Wilson’s improved play is the silver lining to the Broncos’ latest loss to the Raiders

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:20:16 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Despite coach Sean Payton’s dud of a Denver debut, the Broncos’ season opener showed his restoration of quarterback Russell Wilson is going well.Now, if Wilson can get Jerry Jeudy and Greg Dulcich back on the field, he might be able to throw for more than the 177 yards he did Sunday in Denver’s 17-16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders.Jeudy was inactive after being limited in practice upon his return from a pulled right hamstring late in camp and Dulcich left after apparently pulling a hamstring on the opening drive of the second half. He missed seven games as a rookie last year because of chronic hamstring issues.Wilson managed just 52 yards in the air after halftime.“Obviously if you have Dulcich in and Jerry, I mean they’re …” Wilson said before stopping himself. “I still think we should have won that game.”His last drive was Denver’s only three-and-out, however, and the defense couldn’t get the ball back to Wilson as Jimmy Garoppolo a...

The Tennessee Titans know what they need to fix after 1-point loss in opener

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:20:16 GMT

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Titans realize they have to play better and know exactly what they need to fix. They also aren’t panicking after a one-point loss on the road in one of the NFL’s toughest places to play. Coach Mike Vrabel said Monday that new right guard Daniel Brunskill reminded him after their 16-15 loss in New Orleans that the San Francisco 49ers also lost their opener a year ago and still reached the NFC championship game. “We need to keep improving,” Vrabel said. “And we say this all the time. The teams that improve are going to be the ones that are playing in January.”The Titans didn’t score a single touchdown with Ryan Tannehill playing his worst game. That didn’t help an offense that ranked 28th in the NFL last season in scoring.Vrabel made a bunch of offseason moves in trying to boost the offense, firing coordinator Todd Downing and promoting Tim Kelly along with making other position changes. The Titans held the ball...
