Zach Allen on Broncos’ slim playoff hopes after Russell Wilson benching: “Everybody wants to write us off, but there’s still a chance”

In the hours after it was announced quarterback Russell Wilson had been benched on Wednesday, the Centura Health and Training Center felt like a ghost town. The media viewing of practice was lifeless — the silence louder than Travis Scott’s “Escape Plan” blasting through the speakers — with the locker room taking on a somber tone.Thursday, however, arrived with a new energy. Outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper vibed to the music during position drills, as if it was any other practice. While Wilson sat alone in his locker, scrolling through his phone and not talking to reporters, the rest of the players were back to joking and laughing with one another in the locker room.Defensive end Zach Allen praised the team for taking the week seriously and keeping the focus on Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers — the final home game of the season. He wasn’t about to throw in the towel on Denver’s slim postseason hopes, either, with backup Jarrett Stidham set to take Wi...

By Manuel Rueda | Associated PressBOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — President Nicolás Maduro ordered Venezuela’s armed forces to conduct defensive exercises in the Eastern Caribbean after the United Kingdom sent a warship toward Guyana’s territorial waters as the South American neighbors dispute a large border region.In a nationally televised address on Thursday, Maduro said that 6,000 Venezuelan troops, including air and naval forces, will conduct joint operations off the nation’s eastern coast — near the border with Guyana.Maduro described the impending arrival of British ship HMS Trent to Guyana’s shores as a “threat” to his country.
