Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:38:33 GMT

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - It's beginning to look a lot like the holidays in Missouri's capital city, after a crane moved a 30-foot tree into the governor's mansion.For 30 years, the Missouri Department of Conservation has been asking Missourians to donate evergreen trees between 30 and 40 feet tall to be decorated on the lawn of the Missouri Governor's Mansion.

Upon Further Review: Broncos’ defensive line steps up in big way against Browns

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 01:38:33 GMT

In trench warfare against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon, the Broncos’ defensive line had the advantage.The Broncos were well ahead, holding a 27-12 lead late in the fourth quarter, but defensive end Zach Allen wanted to add one more exclamation point. With the Browns facing a third-and-10 at their 5-yard line, Allen bulldozed past two offensive linemen before teaming up with outside linebacker Nik Bonitto to sack quarterback P.J. Walker in the end zone for a safety.Heading into the season, Denver’s defensive line was one of the biggest question marks on the team. In the Broncos’ 29-12 win over the Browns, the unit stepped up, producing two of the team’s three takeaways while repeatedly disrupting Cleveland’s solid offensive line.“It’s hard to have success if your guys up front on both sides of the ball — the trenches as we like to say — are not at least neutralizing or playing up to the level of your opponent,” head coach Sean Payton said. “I think we’ve...
