hi, everybody. the broncos will play the carolina panthers in the golan super bowl two weeks from tonight. the broncos earned a trip to the 50th super bowl defeating the patriots. john elliott had the

and tom brady has all season to think about the whooping from miller and denver's defense. they win, 20-18 and they are back in colorado once again. >> we have two weeks to play. we're going to play a theme that we -- team that we are completely unfamiliar with. we have a lot of video to study. this is a heck of a game and a great honor to go back to the super bowl. playing super bowl l. it's, i'm really looking forward to it. it will be a fun two weeks. >> they have a great team. so he's a gray player. someone i already admired. i'm proud how we fought today and went to the end, we just came up a little bit short. i wish the outcome would have been different. >> roughly 85% of the money bet on today's game was on new england, that means another

in las vegas. and rod mackey is at the stadium. >> reporter: this game was not to be here, broncos not the number one seed, and not to beat the patriots. no respect for the number one defense in the nfl. amessage new england set asking to receive the opening kickoff. >> okay. really. okay. that's what we were. >> without a doubt, that was disrespectful. we knew that going in. we felt disrespected. >> all of the haters out there talking about how we're going to get blown out -- none of that matters. we had -- harris, danny, me, you know, everybody. >> the ball, denver has a pick. stuart has it. >> all week, everybody counted us out. they said i could not cover, and we could not cover their receivers and tight ends, whatever, we held them to, how many points? 18 points. the number one offense in the league. we shut them down.

been playing all year, that's the focal point that tom brady was going to spread us a part. we took total disrespect. besides the big play at the end of the game, 150 yards passing. sacked five times and a pick. we dogged him. >> he is going to be hit and sacked. >> and the broncos will get to play the no respect card again in the super bowl. the broncos will be the underdog on february 7th. at the stadium, rod mackey, 9 news. this game probably should have been decided in overtime. but we are going to show you why an extra period was not necessary. >> reporter: they came down to one play with 12 seconds left and just like they've done all season the broncos defense came through. >> pass deflected and intercepted!

>> trying to uncover, my eyes on brady. >> i don't be how many two point conversion stops we had all year, so that is not the first one. so to add those up. >> reporter: ware pressured tom brady into throwing, but he almost was not on the field for the play. >> i was so tired. 12 seconds left in the game. i ran off the field. they looked at me, demarcus can you go one more play, i'm like i can't go. they said what if we call a timeout. i went on the field and they called a timeout. they got my back. >> reporter: the patriots were forced to go for two. because way back in the 1st quarter, they missed an extra point. >> so -- the -- i'm, i'm thankful that he missed it. >> come out here with the point and me -- miss the kick, it's a nightmare scenario. it is a sickening feeling.

what the nfl moved the point after attempt back to this year. there was a lot of debate how much it would impact the game. now we know that the denver broncos are going to the super bowl and the patriots are going home because of a missed extra point. the broncos 4 1/2 point underdogs for super bowl l because the carolina panther degrees maltinged the arizona cardinals in the n.f.c. championship game. they win, 49-15. >> i said it then and i'm going to say it now. it was a process. it was not going to be -- what did i say, quick grits, a process like long cooked collard greens. >> we know exactly what you're saying. the cry baby bowl is over.

so we're ripping off the tom brady diaper tonight. because he handled it like a man. don't worry about it. he handled it like a man. i like the way that brady stood up and praised the broncos and manning. at the end, they shook hands, it was an extended handshake. and brady just kept nodding his head.
