Colorado Sports Night: Weekend recap, Sept. 8, 2023

DENVER (KDVR) — You’ve made it, football fans! College football kicked off with a bang last weekend, and now it’s the NFL’s turn.

Will Coach Prime and the Buffaloes keep the momentum going against Nebraska? And will Sean Payton help lead the Broncos out of their seven-season playoff drought?

This and much, much more is covered this week on “Colorado Sports Night,” Denver’s only nightly sports show.

BIG GETS

Sean Drotar, from Mile High Sports, said Raiders Week is important but agrees with Payton that the AFC West Division Games are all important.

It's Raiders Week. Just don't make a big deal about it to Broncos head coach Sean Payton.

Our Big Get @sdrotar says this comment is about resetting the culture and not one specific game… even if it's a big game.
