Broncos offense two-deep: Can Sean Payton turn around fortunes of Russell Wilson & Co.?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:53:24 GMT

First-year head coach Sean Payton wants to take the offense’s 2022 performance, lock it in a box and toss it into the ocean. Denver averaged a league-worst 16.9 points per game in a profoundly disappointing one-and-done season under head coach Nathaniel Hackett. Now it’s up to Payton to turn things around, and there’s reason to believe he can. Quarterback Russell Wilson rededicated himself to getting in the best shape of his career. Running back Javonte Williams miraculously returned to the field in the preseason despite tearing his ACL less than a year ago. And the Broncos’ revamped offensive line is primed for improvement after allowing 55 sacks last year. Here’s a look at the team’s projected two-deep on offense:QuarterbackRussell Wilson | 35-11, 215, 34, 12th season, Wisconsin/N.C. StateWilson’s dreadful 2022 season was a fluke.

In ‘Equalizer 3,’ Denzel Washington’s assassin goes to Italy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:53:24 GMT

Filmmaker Antoine Fuqua has been dreaming about taking the Equalizer abroad for years. The action franchise (very loosely based on a 1980s television series) starring Denzel Washington as the reluctant assassin Robert McCall had rooted itself in humble domestic beginnings, in Boston. But after two films and $382.7 million in box-office receipts in the past decade, the time seemed ripe to travel. “Denzel is an international movie star,” Fuqua told The Associated Press. “We thought it would be nice to see a man of color in a story that’s more international. Why not take this character around the world? Luckily, Sony loved the idea.”And there was only one place that was ever seriously on the list: Italy. Washington, Fuqua said, goes every summer and has since his kids were babies. He loves the culture, the people, the food. He even speaks some Italian.“He just feels right there,” Fuqua said.And for Fuqua, it was the stuff of filmmaking dreams to get to shoot in Cinecittà Studios in Rom...
