The Lead The way many analysts wrote about the Broncos' first-round needs ahead of the 2021 NFL Draft, Denver desperately needed help at inside linebacker. It was easy to point to the per-play and per-game rushing defense rankings (29th and 25th, respectively) as proof, and it is compelling...

National Football League teams will each play a 17-game schedule this year, breaking away from the 16-game format that has been a constant since 1978. That 43-year period is long enough that it makes many fans think it was always that way, but it was not. Back in 1920, when the NFL climbed...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — For stretches in 2020, Noah Fant looked like one of the league's best tight ends. He caught five passes for 81 yards and a score in a half against the Titans, and he hauled in four receptions for 57 yards and a touchdown in a half vs. the Steelers. Against Buffalo, Fant...
