Garett Bolles: 'The Clock Is Ticking—Every Game Counts, No More Waiting for the Perfect Moment'
As the Denver Broncos move deeper into the 2025 NFL season, offensive tackle Garett Bolles is making it clear that every game matters. With the stakes high and the season already full of ups and downs, Bolles expressed urgency in the team’s quest for success. "Every game counts, and we can’t afford to take anything for granted," he said after their most recent performance. "We’ve had some setbacks, but it’s time to turn things around. There’s no more waiting for the perfect moment—we have to make the most of every opportunity, starting now. The clock is ticking."
A Call to Action
Bolles’ message is a wake-up call to his teammates: the time for waiting is over. The Broncos have shown flashes of brilliance this season but have also faced disappointing losses. Now, with the playoffs in sight, Bolles is emphasizing that it’s crunch time. Every game counts toward the team’s future, and they can’t afford to let opportunities slip through their fingers.
The team has dealt with its fair share of struggles, including injuries and inconsistent play. However, Bolles, as one of the leaders on the offensive line, believes that the key to success lies in focusing on the now. "We’ve had some setbacks," he acknowledged, "but it’s not about what’s behind us; it’s about how we move forward. We can’t control what’s already happened, but we can control what happens from here on out."
The Urgency of the Moment
For Bolles, the message is clear: there’s no more time to wait for the perfect game plan or the perfect conditions. The Broncos need to capitalize on every single opportunity they get. "The clock is ticking," Bolles added. The urgency is palpable as the Broncos face tough competition in the upcoming weeks, and their playoff hopes depend on how they perform in each game.
Bolles’ leadership is a reminder to the team that the time for complacency has passed. Every game must be treated with the intensity of a playoff game, and every snap is an opportunity to prove themselves. With the season winding down, the Broncos can’t afford to wait for everything to align perfectly. They need to take action, now.
Looking Ahead
As the Broncos prepare for their next series of matchups, Bolles’ words will serve as a rallying cry. The team’s success in the final stretch of the season will depend on how they handle the pressure, execute their game plan, and seize the opportunities that arise. With their playoff hopes hanging in the balance, the Broncos must rise to the occasion, leaving no room for mistakes or missed chances.
For Bolles and the Broncos, the time is now. The clock is ticking, and it’s up to them to turn things around and finish the season strong.
Carson Wentz Issues Clear Words After Vikings Fall to Chargers
It was a rough night on October 23 for the Minnesota Vikings, who were handed a 37-10 loss by the Los Angeles Chargers on “Thursday Night Football” at SoFi Stadium.
There wasn’t much to take away for Minnesota in this one, as the team will need to assess what went wrong and quickly move on from the blowout. Once sitting at 3-2 in the 2025 NFL season, the Vikings have dropped two straight to fall to 3-4.
Despite falling below .500, veteran Carson Wentz is confident the group will bounce back heading into their Week 9 game against NFC North rival the Detroit Lions.
“I just know the guys in that locker room,”
“I have a lot of confidence in the guys. Hopefully we can keep getting some guys back healthy, all that stuff. This was a short week. This was a tough one. We just didn’t have it tonight. The NFL is weird. It’s hard to win, hard to be consistent. So at the end of the day, just turn the page and go attack it next week.”
Will the Minnesota Bounce Back After Loss to Chargers?
Minnesota get a few extra days to get ready for the Lions. It won’t be an easy matchup, but Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell, much like Wentz, believes in the group’s ability to respond and
“I believe in our players, wholeheartedly,” O’Connell said (h/t Pro Football Talk).. “I believe in every opportunity we have, we’re gonna go out there and put our best foot forward, both on the practice field and every opportunity we have as a team; I think we’ll be able to get, you know, healthy in some spots here that, you know, are critical for our ability to have success.
“But once again, injuries and any other excuse if you go looking for them you’ll find them. We will not be doing that. We’re going to meet this head on as an organization. And that’s what we’re gonna do.”
Vikings Will Need to Learn From Poor Performance
There are a lot of aspects of the Vikings’ game that they will need to improve on heading into Week 9. O’Connell was straightforward about the outcome, admitting the Chargers outperformed his team in every area.
“We got outplayed,” O’Connell added. “We got outcoached; we did not — there are no excuses. Injuries, short week, whatever it is, that is not in any way, shape, or form our standard of what we want to put on the field, and we’ve got — as I told our team — we’ve got an opportunity in front of us where we need to own this.
“This is not a bury the tape kind of time for our organization. This is a ‘watch it, view it, own it’. Every coach, every player. And it starts with me. I did not have our team prepared to play.”
