5 Broncos players on the roster bubble going into preseason
The Denver Broncos are going into Saturday's preseason opener against the San Francisco 49ers with 91 players on their offseason roster. After playing three preseason games this month, Denver will finalize a 53-man roster. Before the showdown with the Niners, we've put together a quick list of five players who appear to be on the roster bubble as preseason begins. These players will need a strong showing to win a spot on the active roster. Broncos roster bubble players 1. RB Tyler Badie: J.K. Dobbins and R.J. Harvey are both safe, and Audric Estime is probably safe. If the Broncos carry four running backs, that would leave Badie competing with Jaleel McLaughlin and Blake Watson for the final spot (it's also possible that Estime could be a surprise cut). Badie was set to have a larger role last season before a scary back injury. Now that he's healthy again, Badie will look to carve out a role on offense. 2. TE Caleb Lohner: Evan Engram, Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins are the team's top three tight ends. If they carry a fourth, Lohner, a seventh-round pick out of Utah, would have to beat out Lucas Krull and Caden Prieskorn. Lohner is a former basketball player with high upside, but he might be a candidate to begin his NFL career on the practice squad. 3. WR Joaquin Davis: An undrafted rookie out of North Carolina Central, Davis impressed at his pro day this spring with a 4.36-second 40-yard dash. He followed that up with an impressive training camp performance, and now he'll get his first opportunity to impress in a live game. Davis is one of the key players to watch for tonight. 4. DL Jordan Jackson: Denver's defensive line is absolutely loaded. Jackson has looked good this summer, but he's still not guaranteed a spot on the 53-man roster. Zach Allen, John Franklin-Myers, D.J. Jones, Malcolm Roach and Sai'vion Jones are probably all locks, seemingly leaving Jackson and Eyioma Uwazurike competing for the final spot. It would be hard to cut either Jackson or Uwazurike later this month. 5. CB Reese Taylor: The Broncos also have a crowded cornerback room, but Taylor seems to have impressed coaches this summer. If the team trades Damarri Mathis or makes a surprise cut at cornerback, Taylor could have a shot to make the active roster. Otherwise, he might be competing for a spot on the practice squad. Following the 49ers game, the Broncos will host the Arizona Cardinals next week before closing out preseason on the road against the New Orleans Saints the following week (view the full preseason schedule).

Mizzou Football's Top 25 Games Since 2000: No. 20-16
Mizzou Football's Top 25 Games Since 2000: No. 20-16 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. We're here for the second part of our five-part series highlighting the top Missouri Tigers football games of the 21st century. Today we'll dive into numbers 20 through 16. Advertisement The matchups all make the list for different reasons; some helped shape the program's modern identity while others broke records. But there's one thing that all the games have in common: a Tigers' victory. #20 - November 20, 2021: vs Florida OT Thriller ends in Mizzou victory to secure bowl game eligibility – Mizzou 24, Florida 23 The Tigers hosted unranked Florida with only two shots left at bowl game eligibility. Their last contest was an away game against No. 25 Arkansas, so this was Mizzou's best chance. The teams found themselves in OT at Faurot Field and following a Gators touchdown, the Tigers needed to score. Mizzou RB Tyler Badie found a seam and rushed into the endzone for a 13-yard run. Missouri coach Eliah Drinkwitz wasn't ready for another round of overtime; he elected to attempt a two-point conversion. Tigers' QB Connor Bazelak found Daniel Parker Jr. in the endzone to win it for Mizzou and secure bowl game eligibility.

The victory pushed the Tigers to a 3-0 record, and it also helped Mizzou to a Top 5 ranking the following week. Daniel threw for 405 yards and set the program record for passing yards, passing his former teammate Brad Smith who sat at 8,799 career yards. Daniel went on to finish his career with 12,515 career passing yards and still holds the record for the Tigers. #18 - November 12, 2011: vs #21 Texas Gary Pinkel gets revenge on Longhorns in final Big 12 matchup – Mizzou 17, No. 21 Texas 5 In Mizzou's final season in the Big 12 before heading to the SEC, head coach Gary Pinkel finally defeated Texas after losing six consecutive matches against the Longhorns. Mizzou QB James Franklin scored his 11th rushing touchdown of the season to put Missouri ahead in the victory. The Tigers were unranked at the time and although the victory felt nice; Mizzou lost one of the conference's top rushers in Henry Josey. Shockingly, Josey tore his ACL, MCL and ruptured his patellar tendon all in the same knee at the same time. Crazy right? He wouldn't return in black-and-gold until the 2013 season where he went on to rush for 1,166 yards and 17 total touchdowns. Josey capped off his time as a Tiger with a three-touchdown performance in the Cotton Bowl against No. 13 Oklahoma State. #17 - December 5, 2020: vs Arkansas Tigers rally back to defeat Razorbacks on game-winning field goal – Mizzou 50, Arkansas 48 Advertisement Down by 14 in the fourth quarter, Mizzou pulled off its largest fourth-quarter comeback to defeat Arkansas on a game-winning Harrison Mevis 32-yard field goal. The Tigers scored all five of their touchdowns on the ground to go along with 273 rushing yards. Larrry Rountree III did the bulk of the work, rushing 27 times for 185 yards and three touchdowns. Tyler Badie was extremely productive as RB2, rushing six times for 79 yards and two touchdowns. The victory turned out to be the Tigers last of the season as back-to-back losses against Georgia and Mississippi State would wrap up the 2020 season.

The game was slow; 16 punts, 17 points. But one thing worked for the Tigers: RB Cody Schrader. The All-American running back rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown to help Missouri secure the win. The Buckeyes held the lead during the entirety of the second and third quarter, but a two-touchdown fourth quarter gave the Tigers all they needed to walk out of Texas with a trophy.
