Defensive player of the year Patrick Surtain's "main goal" for 2025 is a Super Bowl win
Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain was the best defensive player in football last season. The league honored him with the defensive player of the year award, and PFF recently dubbed Surtain 'the most valuable non-QB in football.' So, how does Surtain top what he did last season? He has an idea, he told reporters at his camp Saturday. 'There's always something out there to do better,' Surtain said, via video from Zac Stevens of DNVR Broncos. 'I mean, why not get another one? Why not get more All-Pros further on into my career, but I think the main goal is to win a Super Bowl. At the end of the day, that's what I play the game for is to win, so I think that's the angle for me.' The Broncos upgraded on defense in free agency after ranking seventh in yards and third in points on defense last season. They signed two former 49ers defenders, safety Talanoa Hufanga and inside linebacker Dre Greenlaw, and drafted cornerback Jahdae Barron with the 20th overall pick. Greenlaw and Hufanga have played in a Super Bowl, so they know what it takes to get there. 'We added some key additions obviously in those guys,' Surtain said. 'They're going to come in and bring that winning atmosphere. They've been at Super Bowls. They know how to win at a high level. So, adding that to our team will only make our team greater.'

Chiefs players blindly pick Bo Nix over Patrick Mahomes based on stats
Before the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, Kansas City Chiefs players were made available for interviews during Super Bowl Media Week in New Orleans leading up to the Big Game. Zac Stevens of DNVR Broncos caught up with several Chiefs players last week and asked them to choose between two quarterbacks based on blind stats. The first quarterback threw 26 touchdowns with 11 interceptions. The second quarterback threw 29 touchdowns against 12 interceptions. Six of the eight players chose the second QB (29 TDs). The seventh 'barely' picked the first QB and another player simply asked, 'Which one was Patrick Mahomes?' Stevens then revealed to the players that the first QB with 29 touchdowns was Bo Nix, while the QB with 26 was Mahomes. Check out the video: Kansas City Chiefs players would take Bo Nix OVER Pat Mahomes 👀 Presented By: @bet365_us — DNVR Broncos (@DNVR_Broncos) February 5, 2025 Nix went 22-of-30 for 215 yards with two touchdowns against the Chiefs in Week 10 while Mahomes went 28-of-42 for 266 yards with one score in that contest.
