Broncos RB Javonte Williams has finally found his groove, and the offense is benefiting from it

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 19:37:50 GMT

Broncos running back Javonte Williams refused to be denied.With 8:04 left in the first quarter of Denver’s home matchup against Kansas City, quarterback Russell Wilson faked to his right, then turned the other direction and threw a screen pass to Williams.The third-year running back then bolted for the end zone, lowered his shoulder and bulldozed through linebacker Drue Tranquill at the goal line for a 4-yard touchdown — his first in two seasons.In the summer when Williams was still recovering from a torn ACL suffered last October, he was determined to become the violent rusher that he was before the injury. The Broncos have seen spurts of it, but over the past two games, especially in the 24-9 win over the Chiefs, Williams has been a freight train that has worn down defenses.“I just feel like my confidence is coming back,” Williams said.Williams had never run the ball more than 23 times in college or the NFL until Sunday, when he had 27 carries for 85 yards.

Donald Trump’s Colorado ballot challenge trial begins with each side warning of an attack on democracy

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 19:37:50 GMT

A weeklong trial that could bar Donald Trump from appearing on Colorado’s ballot kicked off Monday with dramatic testimony about the U.S. Capitol insurrection and the judge’s rejection of a request from Trump’s lawyers to recuse herself.Both sides of the ballot-qualification challenge cast the case as putting American democracy at stake — whether by allowing Trump to run again for the country’s highest office or, in the defense’s view, by endorsing a political charade that would rob many voters of their favored candidate.As the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination faces similar ballot challenges in several states, Colorado’s case is the first to present evidence to a judge as the plaintiffs seek to tie Trump to the siege of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.A group of Colorado Republican and unaffiliated voters, backed by the liberal watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, filed the challenge in ...
