as rookie tailback devontae booker fumbles. the panthers recover the ball. panthers up seven to zero. the broncos score their first touchdown in the second quarter... after the panthers fail to capitalize on the turnover, the broncos answer with this 28-yard touchdown run from fullback andy janovich. that's his first carry in the n-f-l. but the panthers come back with another touchdown. but- the broncos refused to go away... and the momentum shifted in the fourth quarte chris harris jr. and two touchdowns from c-j anderson... to give the broncos the lead. the whole thing came down to the final seconds- with the panthers looking to recapture the win with a field goal... but it misses to the left. broncos win 21 to 20.
