Garoppolo and Meyers spoil Payton’s Denver debut in Raiders’ 7th straight win over Broncos

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:05:18 GMT

DENVER (AP) — Change the coaches and switch the quarterbacks, the Raiders still own the Broncos.Jimmy Garoppolo threw two touchdown passes to fellow newcomer Jakobi Meyers in their Las Vegas debut and the Raiders spoiled Sean Payton’s first game as Denver’s coach with a 17-16 win over the Broncos on Sunday.“It ain’t got to be pretty, you’ve just got to get it done,” Davante Adams said as he walked off the field with Garoppolo after the Raiders stretched their winning streak over their AFC West rivals to seven games despite the absence of star pass rusher Chandler Jones, who’s involved in a feud with the front office.That skid hurts even worse to some Broncos fans than the 15-game losing streak against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Kansas City has owned the AFC West for seven years while the Raiders and Broncos have spent that time taking turns as the dregs of the division.Garoppolo, who came to Las Vegas after six seasons in San Francisco, and Meyers,...

He said he received advice on his own career from Bryant, who died in 2020 in a helicopter crash that also killed his daughter, Gianna, and seven others.“Kobe was a close friend, we chatted a lot about the winner’s mentality when I was struggling with injury and trying to make my comeback, work my way back to the top of the game,” Djokovic said. “He was one of the people that I relied on the most.” “He was always there for any kind of counsel, ...

HOUSTON (AP) — Kyle Tucker became just the 12th player to triple twice in an inning, driving in runs with each in an eight-run sixth as the AL West-leading Houston Astros routed the San Diego Padres 12-2 on Sunday.Tucker became the first Houston player to triple twice in an inning, getting hits off Tim Hill and Rich Hill.
