DENVER (KDVR) — They say good things happen in threes. Just ask the Denver Broncos who are now riding a season-saving three-game winning streak.With a record of 4-5, there is now a path back to relevance. This is the first three-game winning streak since the beginning of the 2021 season under head coach Vic Fangio. Flash forward three seasons, and now under the visor of head coach Sean Payton, there is still room for improvement.“We are by no means at our sweet spot,” said Payton as the Broncos corralled the Bills 24-22 Monday night, breaking their 16-year losing streak in Buffalo, New York. “There’s so many things we’ve got to clean up offensively.” Broncos coach Sean Payton is the NFL’s admittedly absent-minded perfectionist, sentimentalist Led by an efficient and time-consuming offense, quarterback Russell Wilson’s two touchdown passes (18) now eclipse his 2022 season total (160). And on the defensive side, it’s been a complete turnaround since allowing 70 points in Miami. In t...Father of group home abuse victim sues staffing company involved with hiring caregivers

(CNN) — Government officials, public health professionals and concerned parents are calling on Congress to ban water beads, a children’s toy that they say poses significant health risks.In a news conference Monday, Congressman Frank Pallone Jr. of New Jersey announced that he will be introducing a bill at the House of Representatives this week aimed at instating a national ban on beads marketed to kids.“They are specifically marketed to kids. In a single small package you can have 25, 50, or even 75 thousand of these beads and it just takes one to cause harm to a child,” said Pallone. “They are not labeled as dangerous to small children, there’s no warning, and they’re not hard to get.”However, Pallone said that product warnings are not enough. “We have to ban them because there’s absolutely no way to ensure through any kind of education that they’re going to be safe or that that kids won’t handle them after they’ve fallen on the floor,” he added.Water beads are tiny balls made...Manslaughter arrest in death of hockey player whose neck was cut with skate blade

LONDON — Former Home Secretary Suella Braverman accused Rishi Sunak of betraying his “promise to the nation” on immigration, in an excoriating letter sent just a day after she was sacked by the U.K. prime minister.In her first intervention since being ousted by Sunak, Braverman — popular on the right of the Conservatives and seen as a future leadership contender — said the prime minister had “manifestly and repeatedly failed to deliver” on a host of pledges.She accused him of “wishful thinking” over his flagship pledge to cut the numbers of people crossing the English Channel in small boats, and painted the prime minister as having “put off tough decisions in order to minimize political risk to yourself.”Those policies include Sunak’s key pledge to “Stop the Boats.” Braverman’s punchy intervention comes on the eve of a major Supreme Court judgment on whether the government’s plan to send asylum seekers to ...Olympics is gonna suck for Parisians, French minister admits
