fell to the Denver Broncos with the fifth pick in the NFL draft.Chubb not only takes pressure off Miller Austin Blythe Jersey , who hasn't been back to the playoffs since winning Super Bowl 50 MVP honors. He bolsters what was already a dynamic Denver pass rush that gives opponents fits and covers a whole lot of warts in the Broncos' beleaguered secondary.Rather than grab another quarterback in the first round — his last one didn't work out so well — general manager John Elway selected the North Carolina State edge rusher who was widely regarded as the best defender in the 2017 draft class.Now, the Broncos can send Miller, Chubb, Shane Ray and Shaq Barrett at quarterbacks from the outside while locking down the interior with a revitalized Derek Wolfe , a beefed-up DeMarcus Walker, a rejuvenated Adam Gotsis and free agent acquisition Clinton McDonald at defensive end.Then there's nose tackles Shelby Harris and the Peko cousins, Domata and Kyle, to provide inside push and help thwart the run.Of course, it will only matter if Denver's refurbished offense buttressed by free agent QB Case Keenum Sean Mannion Jersey , rookie receivers Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton and rookie running back Royce Freeman, starts scoring points like it did when Peyton Manning was hollering out, "Hurry, hurry!"In the two seasons since Manning retired, the Broncos haven't played with a lead often enough to capitalize on their pass rush prowess or what had been a stellar secondary.Cornerback Chris Harris Jr., was pleased to finally face an offense in training camp that held its own."Our offense is way better than they were last year," Harris said. "I see them putting up points, at least 30 a game. ... because we have Bill Musgrave, a great offensive coordinator. We used to hate going against him. We used to call him 'Mad Scientist' when he was in Oakland Jamon Brown Jersey , so they have a great offense. It fits Case well. He has great weapons. I don't see why they can't average 30."NO MORE NO FLY ZONE : A prolific offense will help a defense that went through a spate of injuries in the secondary, then lost a second member of the original "No Fly Zone" with the trade of cornerback Aqib Talib to the Rams this spring.The Broncos had their share of growing pains after safety T.J. Ward was waived last year. Now the original "No Fly Zone" is down to safety Darren Stewart and Harris, who said the chemistry with cornerback Bradley Roby was slow to develop this summer after never needing to consider it with Talib."It was so easy that you never realized that you have to work for that with someone else," Harris said. "Me and 'Lib used to come out on the field — Bam! If he sees something, I see it."Asked when he thought that would come together with Roby, Harris said, "as soon as Roby gets it. It shouldn't take long as long as he gets it. Once he gets it, we'll be on the same page."REFRESHED RECEIVERS : It didn't take long for Emmanuel Sanders to get on the same page with Keenum. Finally healthy after an injury-marred 2017 season, Sanders was the star of training camp even as rookie Sutton Rob Havenstein Jersey , another SMU alum, was entertaining the crowds with daily highlight reel catches.Sanders said his enthusiasm isn't just a byproduct of his return to health but of Keenum's arrival. For the first time since 2015, Sanders worked exclusively with the starting QB and didn't have to endure a prolonged quarterback competition that siphoned chemistry and rhythm from the offense once the regular season rolled around.He and Demaryius Thomas also were pushed by the rookies."This is one of those wide receiver groups that can definitely carry this team," Sanders said. "Elway has his pick of the litter in that room."BOUNCE BACKS : The Broncos haven't had back-to-back losing seasons since 1971-72 and several players need bounce-back seasons to keep that streak alive. So do the coaches.Elway contemplated firing Joseph following his 5-11 rookie season but decided to give him another chance, then provided him with a massive roster upgrade rather than going on another coaching search and starting over.Joseph realizes he won't get another chance if things don't change, however."Winning football games is a must this year," Joseph said. "We have to do that. That's why they hired me." CHICAGO (AP) — Jared Goff was born in California and played his college ball for California before beginning his pro career in Southern California with the Los Angeles Rams.The Golden State kid looked a little lost in the Windy City.Harassed by Chicago‘s fierce pass rush all night long, Goff threw a career-high four interceptions in a costly 15-6 loss to the Bears on Sunday at a chilly Soldier Field. Several of Goff’s passes wobbled coming out of his right hand, and it was hard to tell where he was going on a couple more throws.“It’s definitely tough to play in a big-time game like that and not play well and not win and not do what you want to do Tyler Higbee Jersey ,” Goff said. “But at the same time we’re 11-2, won the division with three weeks left and have everything in front of us and feel really good about that.”The loss dropped Los Angeles into a tie with New Orleans in the race for home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. The Saints hold the tiebreaker after topping the Rams 45-35 on Nov. 4.Goff and company had won three in a row since falling short in New Orleans, averaging 40 points during the streak. But Los Angeles’ prolific offense was completely shut down by Khalil Mack and the Bears (9-4).“They did a good job getting some pressure and then they played tight coverage and there really just weren’t many plays to make tonight because of some of the selections that I had,” second-year Rams coach Sean McVay said. “So certainly don’t blame Jared for a lot of bad spots that I put him in.”Goff was 20 for 44 for a season-low 180 yards. NFL rushing leader Todd Gurley managed just 28 yards on 11 carries, both season lows. Greg Zuerlein booted a 40-yard field goal attempt off the right upright at a key moment in the fourth quarter.“It was on everybody, we all played bad,” Gurley said. “Coaches down to the players.”Goff threw his first interception on Los Angeles’ third possession. Bears defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard pushed Rams left tackle Andrew Whitworth into Goff, and his wobbly pass went right to Roquan Smith for the rookie linebacker’s first career pick .Smith’s 22-yard return to the Rams 4 set up Cody Parkey‘s 31-yard field goal with 9:24 left in the second quarter.“They had a good scheme for us and did a good job, but we got to be better and that starts with me Jared Goff Jersey ,” Goff said.Goff threw another interception on a Hail Mary on the final play of the half, but the game was tied at 6 at the break.Chicago then went ahead to stay when Eddie Goldman tackled Goff in the end zone on the Rams’ first drive of the third for the Bears’ first safety of the season. Goff also was sacked by Mack in the third quarter and brought down by Akiem Hicks on a fourth-down play in the fourth.Los Angeles had a chance to get back in the game when John Johnson III intercepted Mitchell Trubisky in the third and took it back 35 yards to the Chicago 27. But Goff gave it right back, throwing an interception to Kyle Fuller on the next play.Goff’s last interception went to Prince Amukamara late in the fourth quarter, sealing the loss for the Rams (11-2).“I thought I put him in really bad spots tonight,” McVay said.Goff also struggled in last Sunday’s 30-16 win at Detroit, going 17 for 33 for 207 yards and a touchdown with an interception. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft said he feels fine and just needs to play better.“I don’t think this will be the last time I have a bad game,” he said. “And I don’t think it will be the last time I have two bad games in a row if I play for as long as I want to.”
