How will the Broncos move forward after historical loss to Dolphins? Rather than tack on a short field goal in the final minute, McDaniel had his backup QB take a knee on fourth-and-14 at the Denver 27, bypassing the chance to break the regular-season record for points scored in a single game set by Washington against the New York Giants in 1966 and tie the all-time record set by the Chicago Bears ...

However, she added, “testimony” was already being gathered “from people who have fled violence, deprivation, ...
