Another huge bright spot has been that of a player who was already on the roster, Troy Franklin. Franklin had a quiet rookie season, but he scored the only touchdown in the team's Wild Card loss to Buffalo, ending the season on a high note.

After a two-touchdown performance on Saturday, Sean Payton knows that Troy Franklin's breakout season is upon us.

NFL broadcast partners need to be a little more discerning with their sources after another TV segment falls for fake Cowboys news.

The Arizona Cardinals lost their second preseason game Saturday night, a 27-7 defeat to the Denver Broncos in which they allowed 562 yards and only gained 135. They didn't play any of their starters expect for rookie cornerback Will Johnson and new linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither.

The Denver Broncos have two excellent starting rush linebackers, but Jonah Elliss has looked like a man possessed entering Year 2. Let's examine the growth he's shown this preseason.

After the Cardinals tied the game at 7, the Broncos went 70 yards in eight plays with the big ones of 17 and 16 yards to Bryant and a 27-yard scoring pass to Tony Franklin on which there appeared to be miscommunication in the secondary. That drive lasted 2:39.

The Denver Broncos' second preseason game of 2025 is in the books, coming out on top vs. the Arizona Cardinals 27-7. Several Broncos transformed the hype around their training camp buzz into tangible results on both sides of the ball.

First, the team placed cornerback Gregory Junior (hamstring) on the waived/injured list. To fill Junior's former spot on the offseason roster, the Broncos signed cornerback Micah Abraham. Denver now has 91 players on the roster.

Broncos coach Sean Payton and Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon agreed before Saturday's game that they wouldn't play their starters.

The Cardinals went to Mile High Stadium for their second preseason matchup of the year against the Denver Broncos and they walked away with a 27-7 loss after a flat, uninspired performance all around.

After the game, Payton lauded the depth of the team after their dominant performance. Not only that, but he took the time to thank the front office staff for doing an incredible job over the past few seasons adding talented players to the fold that fit the vision and culture he is trying to establish in the Mile High city.
