After a strong defensive win at home in Week 1, the Denver Broncos will be on the road next week to take on the Indianapolis Colts who are also coming off a huge offensive and defensive dominant win on Sunday. Both teams are 1-0 heading into Week 2, but it is Denver who might have some questions to answer about their offense in this next one.

According to FanDuel, the Broncos are 2.5-point road favorites against the Colts in Week 2. The over/under stands at 43.5 for this matchup.

Sunday was a rough first game for the Broncos’ offense. While at times it looked like Bo Nix was dealing, he ended up having one of the roughest outings of his career. When asked how he did, Head Coach Sean Payton noted that he battled and that at the end of the day they won the game.

“Well we won, that’s the first thing,” Payton said. “I thought he hung in there. He battled. Made some critical plays first in the second half, and so obviously he’ll be disappointed with the turnovers, but it was a gutsy performance. It is pretty usual Week 1, a lot of different looks maybe that you hadn’t seen normally or scouted normally for relative to their coverages. Overall, his job is to lead us to score. I thought he played really well in the second half, and we won the game.”

Against the Colts, the defense will need to continue terrorizing opposing quarterbacks and, hopefully, the offense begins to find its footing. This team has potential to be a dangerous team in the AFC with the defense playing like it is. They just need the offense to be more consistent and, obviously, limit the turnovers. While they did struggle, I still think they should beat the Colts next week.

What are your predictions for the Broncos-Colts game in Week 2?

The Sunday afternoon crowd of 40,264 at Coors Field was lively and engaged in the Cubs-Rockies game.

But when the Cubs’ Ian Happ launched a three-run homer to tie the game, 5-5, in the eighth inning, the crowd went Savannah Bananas, greeting Happ with a standing ovation. Outmanned Rockies fans had to wear it.

Until Mickey Moniak hit a walk-off triple in the ninth to lift the Rockies to a 6-5 victory, snapping their four-game losing streak and breaking the six-game hex the Cubs held over them.

How good did it feel to shut up the Cubs’ faithful and prevent a three-game sweep?

“That’s what we’re in the business for, quieting the other crowd,” said Moniak, who entered the game as a defensive replacement in the eighth inning before recording the second walk-off RBI of his career.

“They were definitely loud, but it got pretty loud when we hit the walk-off triple,” Moniak continued. “The Rockies fans were here, too.”

Colorado wasted no time rebounding from Happ’s homer. Rookie second baseman Ryan Ritter led off the ninth with a single to left off of Cubs’ right-hander Daniel Palencia. Then Moniak drove Palencia’s 1-1 slider into the right-field corner for the game-winner as Kyle Tucker tried to corral the baseball.

“Once the ball hit the wall and shot hard, I knew there was a chance,” Moniak said. “That right-field corner is tough to play, and once it shot past Tucker out there, it was game over.”

Interim manager Warren Schaeffer wasn’t surprised that Moniak came through.

“It’s a testament to him, how he’s always ready to play,” Schaeffer said after Colorado captured its fourth walk-off win of the season. “He got Palencia there in the ninth. (Palencia) throws a lot of heaters, and I think (Moniak) likes a lot of heaters. So it worked out well for us. Worked out well for Mickey.”

Riding an outstanding six-inning start by rookie right-hander Tanner Gordon, the Rockies cruised into the eighth inning with a 5-2 lead. But when reliever Luis Peralta issued a leadoff walk to Michael Busch, and Kyle Tucker followed with a single, Cubs fans started buzzing.

Peralta got the dangerous Seiya Suzuki to fly out to right, but then Peralta grooved a 95.5 mph first-pitch fastball that Happ hammered for his three-run homer. It was not exactly a surprise that Happ would burn the Rockies. The left fielder went 6 for 12 with three doubles, two home runs, and six RBIs in the three-game series. He’s hit safely in 14 straight against Colorado, batting .382 (21-for-55).

Gordon, who’s been Colorado’s best starter in August, allowed two runs on five hits over six innings and was in line to win his fourth consecutive decision. He struck out nine, a career high and the most by a Rockies pitcher since lefty Kyle Freeland struck out nine on July 10, 2024, at Cincinnati. Colorado had been the only team in the majors that had not had a pitcher strike out at least nine batters in a game this season.

“Those guys are really good hitters, and they are aggressive, so I wasn’t hunting strikeouts, I was just trying to get ahead and execute pitches,” said Gordon, who has a 2.74 ERA over his last four starts.

His only difficult inning was the third when Chicago took a 2-0 lead on singles by Matt Shaw and Michael Busch and a two-run double by Suzuki.
