NFL

Yesterday…
• The Denver Broncos demolished the Detroit Lions 38-10. The Lions activated seven players from the practice squad to fill gaps created by injuries, COVID-19 listings and the flu that ripped through the clubhouse last week. One of those promotions was running back Craig Reynolds, who rushed for 83 yards.
• The Green Bay Packers outscored the Chicago Bears 45-30 in last night’s contest. Aaron Rodgers threw four touchdown passes, but admitted after the game that his fractured toe suffered a “setback.” He may need surgery, although that would likely not sideline him for too long.

Tonight, the Los Angeles Rams visit the Arizona Cardinals. Hear the broadcast on 99.3 The Lift.
