Chubb not going to “dwell” on missed call

- By Ryan O’Halloran and Kyle Fredrickso­n

Broncos outside linebacker Bradley Chubb has moved onto Green Bay.

Chubb’s roughing-the-passer penalty with 24 seconds left in Sunday’s loss to Chicago provided the Bears with 15 free yards and combined with a 25-yard pass a few plays later, put them in position to kick a winning field goal as time expired.

Broncos general manager John Elway said Thursday the NFL informed him that no penalty should have been called.

“They called it and that was the game,” Chubb said before practice Thursday. “Can’t really do anything about it afterwards. If I dwell on it now, I’m just going to get beat on it. I’ve just got to move on.”

The Broncos (0-2) have no sacks and only two knockdowns (both by Chubb) in two games.

“I feel like we’re close,” Chubb said. “We’ve been in position, we just have to finish.”

Chubb said a game-long commitment to focusing on the “small, little details,” could make a difference and “it won’t come down to a ref having to make a call.”

Aramark contract finalized.

A new provider for food-and-drink service at Broncos games debuted against the Raiders last week with the unveiling of a $7 million investment for concession upgrades at Empower Field at Mile High.

Aramark and the Metropolit­an Football Stadium District finalized a 10-year agreement Wednesday for the Philadelph­ia-based company to serve as the stadium’s general concession­aire after Mile High’s previous contract with Centerplat­e expired.

Aramark, recently replaced as the concession­aire at the Pepsi Center, had operated on an interim contract at Mile High since February.

As part of the 164-page contract, a $20 million commitment from Aramark is required for concession upgrades, including the $7 million rollout Sunday. New concession advancemen­ts included self-service checkouts, walkthroug­h drink coolers, digital menu boards and more.

Jay Roberts, Stadium Management Company general manager, said it was the first in a multiphase improvemen­t plan with new food/drink items also available for purchase.

Aramark will pay the SMC a commission of 26.5% from the gross receipts of all sales from each event held at Mile High. Its concession­aire contract with the stadium runs through March 31, 2029.

Injury report.

Receiver Courtland Sutton (sore ribs) and right tackle Ja’Wuan James (knee) did not practice Thursday. Coach Vic Fangio said inside linebacker Todd Davis (calf) looked “good (Wednesday). I think he picked up where he left off last week and I think he stands a good chance of playing (Sunday).”

Fangio said cornerback Bryce Callahan (foot) is “still questionab­le,” to play and he ruled out fullback Andy Janovich (pectoral) and inside linebacker Joe Jones (triceps).
