The Broncos’ confidence is as high as it has been all season.It was noticeable after Denver stood pat at the trade deadline and on Monday morning when head coach Sean Payton continued to preach optimism in the wake of back-to-back wins entering his team’s bye week.“I feel like we’re a better team today than four or five weeks ago,” Payton said.After Denver’s deflating 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 3, Payton said the team needed to look inward to climb out of the 0-3 hole they dug for themselves. Since then, the Broncos are 3-2 with a home victory over the Kansas City Chiefs — which snapped a 16-game losing streak to the reigning Super Bowl champs.Still, the Broncos are not out of the woods just yet. At 3-5, they still have a ways to go to put themselves back in the playoff discussion, and a difficult matchup at Buffalo looms next Monday night. But Denver’s rushing attack, red zone defense and encouraging play from quarterback Russell Wilson are reasons for hop...

Deadline reports that negotiations could resume Monday evening between SAG-AFTRA and the major studios.The latest demonstration comes three days after the major studios presented the Guild with what they called their “last, best and final offer.” Industry analysts warn, however, that “last, best and final” doesn’t mean the offer is solidified.
