Broncos Star Pass Rusher Returns — and They Plan to Shut the Cowboys Up

Broncos Receive Major Boost as Star Pass Rusher Returns — And They’re Aiming Straight at Dak Prescott

As Week 8 approaches, the Denver Broncos are getting back one of their most explosive defensive weapons — and the message coming out of Denver is loud and clear: they’re not just preparing to compete with the Dallas Cowboys, they’re preparing to silence them.

Star edge rusher Jonah Elliss, who has been sidelined since Week 5, is expected to return to action just in time for the showdown with Dallas. His full participation in recent practice sessions has sparked confidence inside the organization — and even a bit of swagger.

Speaking ahead of the matchup, the Broncos’ head coach didn’t hold back on what Elliss’ return means for their game plan:

“With him on the field, we’re coming after Dak every snap. And if he’s healthy, we’re not just slowing the Cowboys down — we’re shutting them up.”

This isn’t just talk. Denver already leads the league in sacks, but without Elliss, their rotation has been thinner and less explosive. His return brings back versatility, speed off the edge and constant pressure — the kind that forces quarterbacks into mistakes and shuts down offensive rhythm.

With Elliss back, players like Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper can rotate more effectively, stay fresh longer and maintain pressure into the fourth quarter. In just 22 NFL appearances, Elliss has already posted 6 sacks, 10 tackles for loss and 8 quarterback hits — numbers that don’t just show impact, but reliability.

And the timing couldn’t be more crucial.

The Cowboys’ offense is firing on all cylinders — Dak Prescott is playing efficient football, CeeDee Lamb is in top form and their offensive line remains one of the toughest units in the NFC. But the Broncos believe with Elliss back, the momentum can shift.

The coach doubled down on that belief:

“We respect what Dallas can do — but we’re not scared of it. If Jonah’s out there flying around, things are going to get real uncomfortable for them real fast.”


Bottom line:
The Broncos aren’t just getting a player back — they’re getting their edge, their attitude and their confidence back. And with Dallas up next, they’re ready to let the NFL know.

Bills Cheerleader Sues Bills Player for Sexual Harassment After He Relentlessly Flirted With Her – Despite Being Married with a Child
BUFFALO, NY – December 11, 2025 A bombshell lawsuit has just been filed in Erie County Court that has all of Western New York talking. Ashley, the 24-year-old face of the Buffalo Jills and widely regarded as the squad’s most popular and recognizable cheerleader, has officially sued a current Buffalo Bills player for what her legal team calls “persistent and unwanted sexual harassment through aggressive flirting” – even though the player is married with a young child. Court documents obtained today name 27-year-old Shane Buechele – the Bills’ third-string QB who married his high-school sweetheart Reiley in 2022 and has a 2-year-old son – as the defendant. What the lawsuit alleges: Since the start of the 2025 season, Buechele allegedly began sending Ashley private Instagram messages after every home game, complimenting her looks and performances with increasingly suggestive language. Multiple late-night phone calls (some as late as 2-3 a.m.) in which Buechele allegedly complained about his lack of playing time, “just wanted to hear her voice,” and invited her for private coffee meet-ups. Unsolicited shirtless and suggestive photos sent directly to Ashley’s phone. Repeatedly showing up “by coincidence” at community and charity events Ashley was scheduled to attend, creating unwanted one-on-one encounters. In the filing, Ashley states: “I made it crystal clear on multiple occasions that I only wanted a professional relationship and was focused on my career. He completely ignored my boundaries. The middle-of-the-night calls left me terrified and suffering from severe insomnia. This has taken a serious toll on my mental health.” Immediate fallout: The Buffalo Bills have suspended Shane Buechele indefinitely without pay pending an internal investigation. Reiley Buechele has locked all of her social media accounts and has made no public statement. Ashley’s attorney says they will seek damages “well into seven figures” and hope the case sets a precedent for better protection of NFL cheerleaders league-wide. The NFL has confirmed it is monitoring the situation closely and may impose additional discipline. One Bills Mafia is completely split: #TeamAshley supporters are demanding Buechele be cut immediately: “Married with a kid and still doing this? Disgusting.” Others are calling it an overreaction: “Flirty DMs and compliments? This feels like a money grab or a PR stunt.” The case is still in its earliest stages, with an initial court appearance expected in early 2026. What do YOU think – is this legitimate workplace harassment, or is the cheerleader blowing things out of proportion?
