10:23 pm
number 2 pick they took von miller. von is the broncos' overall best player. here we are in the john fox bowl. i've looked at the panthers and about the only weakness i've seen is they're not always good at protecting three-touchdown leads. the broncos haven't had to deal with that problem much this year. make no mistake. the broncos have not played a team this good. the panthers are better than the patriots. they're better than the steelers. but know this, cam newton has not faced a defense like the one here in denver. if all goes well for the broncos, cam the number one pick and von the number two pick can meet in mike klis, 9news. the nuggets finished their longest home stand of the season tonight by allowing their guests to wipe muddy shoes on the carpeting. eighth consecutive game in lower downtown. nugs got whooped by the atlanta. denver turned the basketball over 15 times.

clearing, cold tonight. lows in the mid teens. tomorrow, sunshine but not that warm. only 40. we jump 10 degrees wednesday and come close to 60 by the end of the week. we're right on the fringe because there's another little weather disturbance up stream. i don't think it's going to bring precipitation but enough of a wind shift that may keep us under 60. if we're going to hit 60 it's got to happen on friday or saturday. friday is my bet. friday may be the day. that little stream is something. >> we get disturbances here all the time. >> we also fail to meet potential quite frequently, you know? but it's okay. >> we're not naming names. >> you can bounce back. it would be three of us.
