Broncos running back Tyler Badie is back in Denver, but he didn’t return on the team’s plane after their 10-9 win over the Jets. Brandon Kristal of KOA Colorado reports that he and Badie were on the same commercial flight back to Denver on Sunday night. Badie was accompanied by

Packers quarterback Jordan Love set a career high with 389 passing yards on Sunday, but the day wasn’t one he or the team would like to repeat. The Packers fell behind the Vikings 28-0 before rallying to lose 31-29 and Love felt his “accuracy was off, a little bit shaky”
