The Denver Broncos entered their Week 12 bye with one glaring question mark at the running back position following J. K. Dobbins’ season-ending injury. Unfortunately, their attempt to bring in a replacement for Dobbins on Sunday was foiled by perhaps their biggest AFC West rival, the Kansas City Chiefs. For the most part, the 2025 season has gone as good as it possibly could for the Broncos. Their 9-2 record has them firmly at the top of the AFC West and potentially in contention for the top overall seed in the AFC. While Denver is riding an eight-game winning streak, there are reasons to be concerned about their rushing attack without Dobbins in the picture. Notably, the Broncos were only able to rush for 59 yards in their Week 11 win over the Chiefs, their first game since their star running back’s injury. More news: 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey Sends Bold Message on Former Panthers Teammate Attempting to fill the void of Dobbins’ absence, the Broncos were reportedly nearing a deal with free agent running back Dameon Pierce, according to Broncos reporter Mike Klis. However, Pierce instead opted to sign with the Chiefs’ practice squad. More news: Patriots’ Will Campbell Carted to Locker Room With Apparent Leg Injury Denver will now look elsewhere to potentially add depth at running back to help replace Dobbins. Meanwhile, the Chiefs add a player who can potentially factor into their running back room, which could come back to bite the Broncos. The Chiefs and Broncos do still have one remaining game against one another in Week 17 that could have ramifications at the top of the AFC West standings. If Pierce does end up gaining a role on the Chiefs’ offense by the time that matchup happens, missing out on signing him could sting even more. On the bright side for Denver, they will get an ideal matchup to potentially get their run game going in Week 13 when they take on the Washington Commanders, who have allowed the seventh-most rushing yards in football this year. So maybe rookie running back RJ Harvey can show that he is fully capable of taking on a workhorse role without Dobbins or Pierce in the picture.

Fascinating Background – The CIA Was Misleading Witkoff and Kushner on Key Intelligence About Hamas During Critical Phase of Peace Negotiations
A fascinating hour-long interview with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner sheds light on the backstory of the Israel-Hamas peace agreement in Gaza. During the discussion, Witkoff and Kushner detail the step-by-step process they followed as they engaged the leaders of Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt.
One particularly striking moment occurs when Witkoff reveals that the CIA was briefing both him and Kushner multiple times a day. However, the intelligence they received from the CIA was exactly the opposite of what the Emir of Qatar and the Presidents of Turkey and Egypt were telling them. In other words, the CIA intelligence was completely at odds with the reality on the ground.
**WATCH:** What Witkoff and Kushner are describing highlights precisely why “outside government” emissaries play a vitally necessary role in circumventing the control agenda of the U.S. Intelligence Community. This example is stunning in its magnitude, especially when considered within the importance of the moment.
On a positive note, with Witkoff making this candid public statement, we can now add a major data point to President Trump’s well-known skepticism toward the CIA. This aligns with previous assertions from figures like Marco Rubio and Tulsi Gabbard, who have expressed similar concerns about intelligence reliability.
The example of the CIA getting it wrong—and misleading the administration—has long-range ramifications that extend beyond the Hamas case. Given this context, it’s reasonable to feel optimistic that President Trump remains cautious about trusting CIA intelligence, particularly regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
This insight underscores the ongoing debate about intelligence transparency and reliability at the highest levels of government.
