Stock upCB Ja’Quan McMillianWhat more can you say about this guy? He’s unheralded – undrafted out of Eastern Carolina last year – and he’s not very big. But he just keeps making plays since Vance Joseph made him the starting nickel five weeks ago. McMillian had five tackles for loss across two games against Kansas City and started this one by stripping James Cook on the first snap of the game. He’s feisty, he’s tough and he just keeps making plays.WR Courtland SuttonSutton’s going to need a couple of big games in order to hit 1,000 yards this season, but make no mistake about it: He’s having a good year. Sutton’s ridiculous toe-drag touchdown against Buffalo was his seventh already this season, a career best. In four years besides 2019, his best as a pro, Sutton totaled eight touchdown grabs. He made a couple of other big plays in this game, including a 30-yarder that jump-started a field goal drive late in the first half.QB Russell WilsonIt hasn’t always been pretty, but Wilson rea...

Opinion: Reckoning with Colorado’s racist roots for a more equitable future

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 10:30:47 GMT

We are experiencing a systematic attack on the truthful telling of history. This should concern us all.At a time when dedicated national efforts attempt to prevent or reframe the teaching of Black history and the history of other oppressed groups, it is more important than ever that we work to fully understand and reckon with our past.Racial justice studies are an important tool that governments use to acknowledge history, clarify how history informs social and economic realities in the present, and make informed decisions about how to write a stronger tomorrow, both for historically oppressed groups and for us all.Recent in-depth coverage from The Denver Post highlighted Colorado’s own tragic legacy of segregation, redlining, violence, and government-backed systematic racism faced by Black Coloradans. This dark part of our state’s history is something that many children won’t learn about in school. As a result, many Colorado natives remain uninformed and unaware of the way that rac...
