Broncos’ early work Saturday vs. 49ers features Runnin’ Russ and a successful return for RB Javonte Williams

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 14:34:44 GMT

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Runnin’ Russell Wilson and the Broncos’ No. 1 offense got off to a much better start in their second preseason game.The Broncos starting quarterback engineered just one drive — a 13-play, 49-yard march that ended in a field goal after getting beset by a pair of penalties — before backup Jarrett Stidham got some run with the top unit Saturday night against San Francisco.Though head coach Sean Payton will certainly not like wide receiver Courtland Sutton holding on the edge as Wilson scooted for a big gain on a zone-read keeper, or Garett Bolles jumping early late in the play clock, the Broncos’ top offense looked sharper than it did on its opening pair of drives last weekend against Arizona.The two most interesting developments: Wilson’s work with his feet and a relatively heavy workload for Javonte Williams in his return from October knee surgery.Payton wasted no time getting Williams involved after saying during the week he wanted him to get a couple of ...

Jay Sigel?” Shipley asked.Excellent guess.

This 22-year-old competitor is ...

SF Giants lead for 8 innings, but lose to Braves on Eddie Rosario’s late home run

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 14:34:44 GMT

ATLANTA — The Giants’ bats came alive, Logan Webb left with a lead, and it still wasn’t enough Saturday night.In a devastating 6-5 defeat to the MLB-best Atlanta Braves, the Giants trailed for all of four outs.Capping a 4-for-4 performance, Eddie Rosario hammered a first-pitch sinker from Tyler Rogers in the eighth inning well over the center field wall for a go-ahead two-run home run, measured at an estimated 441 feet. Answering to chants of “Eddie! Eddie! Eddie!” Rosario emerged from the first-base dugout to take a curtain call for his game-deciding hit and received more adoring chants from the sold-out crowd of 42,744 as he took the field for the top of the ninth.The home run erased a gritty effort from Logan Webb, who completed six innings while holding Atlanta’s dangerous lineup to four runs, and a rare strong night from their lineup, which produced 11 hits, tied for their most in a game since June 23.The Giants’ slide continued, losing for t...

49ers-Broncos: Brock Purdy makes one-series cameo, yields to Sam Darnold

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 14:34:44 GMT

SANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy smiled as he strolled the sideline, chatted up happy teammates, and savored the 49ers’ opening scoring drive. It couldn’t have been a starker contrast to the last time he played in a game.You know that game — in Philadelphia, with the NFC Championship on the line, and Purdy helplessly withering in pain because of a torn elbow ligament from the first series of an eventual 31-7 defeat on Jan. 29.This game, it was only a preseason affair, but it reintroduced Purdy to “game speed,” and it offered the 49ers’ home crowd a welcome reminder of his rookie heroics from last season, when he went from “Mr. Irrelevant” to an unbeatable wonder.One series was enough for Purdy’s re-entry.Sam Darnold relieved Purdy after that 10-play opening drive, which ended with a 20-yard field goal from Jake Moody but, more important, saw Purdy escape unscathed after replicating his 2022 play-making ability.San Francisco 49ers ...
