With Kareem Jackson suspended, Broncos safety P.J. Locke carries hard-hitting mentality in win over Browns

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:12:41 GMT

Broncos safety P.J. Locke was hitting folks.The Cleveland Browns faced a fourth-and-14 in the fourth quarter when Locke lined up like he was playing man coverage on tight end David Njoku. The disguise worked as Locke flew into the backfield undetected by the Browns’ offensive line and backup quarterback P.J. Walker, whom he strip-sacked before linebacker Alex Singleton recovered the ball.The hit was a fitting conclusion to Locke’s day in the Broncos’ 29-12 win over the Browns on Sunday, one he wasn’t even sure he’d be able to play in 24 hours earlier due to an ankle injury.Locke didn’t miss a step, however, as he made big plays and delivered hits that could be felt in the suite level at Empower Field — including one that could’ve been costly had he and the Denver defense not responded with five straight stops to close out the game.“(Locke) is a baller, man,” Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II said. “When his (name) gets called upon, he is always go...

I hope it was a good show,” she addressed the spectators in a course-side interview.Shiffrin was put to the test by a frenetic second run from Vlhova, the Olympic champion who led the race by more than a second with only the American left in the start gate.Shiffrin lost half of her first-run lead of 0.28 secon...
