that is his first carry in the nfl. panthers came back with another touchdown but the broncos refused to go away. the momentum shifted in the 4 4th quarter thanks to a big interpretation from chris harrison, and two touchdowns from cj anderson. there's one of them right there. that gave the broncos the lead. the whole thing came down to this field goal with seconds left. broncos win, 21-20. before the opening kick off, one of the broncos play from colin kaepernick's play book. as the national anthem started marshall moved to the end of the row of his teammates and took a knee. marshall and kaepernick were college teammates at nevada. after the national anthem, the broncos did release a statement saying quote while we encourage members of our organization to stand during the national anthem, we understand and respect it being a personal decision. we have had thousands of comments come in to our 9news facebook page about this.

it's too difficult to figure out at this time. the cause of the fire they say is still under investigation. it may have started on or near a back deck. we are on the backside of the house, and so that's why we can show you kind of these images of maybe somewhere where the fire started on the backside of the home. these firefighters we know they put their lives on the line every day, and they did that for this family. a tough day for have been through, and the firefighters too. >> how scared that little girl must have been. thank you for the update, and we'll update you when we know more about the story and the conditions of the little girl and her father. let's get a check of the weather outside. meteorologist marty coniglio is joining us. pretty calm weekend, marty. >> it is going to be except for this afternoon when the wind kicks up around here. haze has really been an issue. wildfire smoke in the west creating colorful sunsets

they'll be holding a press conference at parker adventist hospital for an update on the condition and the shooting suspect. >> it sounds like we can do a lot in this community to help out that family. i appreciate it. let's get a check of the forecast with marty. you were saying if you're riding a bike today, one direction might be good, the other not so much. that's right. what you want to do is head out into weld county early in the afternoon, and put your sail out and come on down highway 85 or i-76 back toward us later of the smoke. larry pierce got an image of the dense smoke that we had around from the lost solar fire which created the vibrant sunset we had. good visibility around here this morning. socked in again along the kansas border for us. humidity levels anticipated to be dropping there as we go through the day. the wind kicks up. you were talking about this corey late this afternoon into this evening. wind gusts between 20 and 30

do. i would head out on my bike, and then i would call someone to pick me up. >> there you go. >> that's the way we do it. marty thank you. science, technology, engineering engineering and math, stem. there are so many opportunities in stem career. not enough people to fill them. an aviation program that is looking to change that still ahead, but first. the fight to the end in the broncos panthers game last

. it was a close call, but the broncos came hot on top in the preseason opener, the game went down the backfield in only seconds of denver beats the panthers 21- 20. >> we are waking up feeling good this morning. those turnovers almost cost the broncos the game. >> they're thrilled they won, but i guarantee gary kubiak feel good. these are coachable moments. when we get in meetings, they're going to be excited excited and they are going to lower the boom and say fellows

we won the game. if that kick goes through, and the first one did. if that kick goes through, what are we saying today. the whole community here, we'll all be talking about how poorly broncos played and that's true. thank god, kubiak iced the kicker. down 17-7 early in the 3rd 3rd quarter, you're in trouble. trevor siemian i thought played well. but he had a couple throws, that one wasn't good. later 80 yards, and goes 6 and 6, hits c.j. anderson. i thought cj anderson was the best player on the field. chris harris with a great interpretation there. setting denver up after a penalty. they go 20 yards. c.j. anderson takes it over. denver's got the lead. 21-17. the panthers don't quit. they come down. they get a field goal. they get it back. driving 3rd and 10.

3rd downs. that's something denver is going to have to address. they got him into a situation where they had a chance to win this game. that throw there to benjamin, here it is. 50 yards. now, the first one he made, the first one he made, they called time out, the second one he missed. what i was bothered by the most with the broncos was their problems on 3rd down. this is one. wade philips told me this during the preseason. i didn't realize it. last year in the playoffs against ben roethlisbe 42 third down opportunities against denver. they were 7 of 42. last night in the first half, cam newton was 6 of 7 on 3rd 3rd downs. everything in football is predicated on 3rd downs. the denver defense has got to get much better on 3rd down. that's number one. number two, you said it and it's true. if you turn the ball over three times inside your opponents 30,

lot of games. however, i agree with what demarcus ware said to rod mackey and that's why he's the leader of the broncos, not only is he a hall of famer, he get it is. he was excited that they won last night but tempered his enthusiasm by saying look how many things we did poorly. now they have time to work on that, and they know what their issues are, and they have to get better. >> sometimes it's good to be lucky. >> you always take work. >> that's a good line, i like that. >> bad teams are never lucky. ron's going to stick around. we'll talk to him a little more extensively at 7:15 over on channel 20. right now, let's check the weather. thank you guys. we have been talking about the colorful sunsets around the area. this one from a couple of days ago. debra sherwood in parker. beautiful conditions. now, a lot of that color due to wildfire smoke, checking on current wildfires from the

yesterday, 4.7 million acres has burned across the country. last year, for the same period, almost 9 million acres had burned, so it's actually been a much slower fire year this year than last year. sunshine through the day today. gusty winds this afternoon as temperatures move into the 70s and then on the backside of this front, freeze watches out. steamboat springs, hayden craig, meeker tonight, season is changing there. highway 93, and 72nd. great conditions and a quick correction from the last update we said sky 9 was over boulder over a s.w.a.t situation where one person has been taken into custody. we will see that situation unfolding. it sounds like everything has wrapped up and they are starting now to break down the scene. out to the cdot cams, we have a slow down here southbound along i-25 coming in near 84th 84th avenue. there is a minor crash keeping

it was just, it's not like anything that you can equate to here on the ground. >> she says she never wanted to fly a desk and she got her wish, running a program with wings over the rockies, air and space museum called teacher flight. she makes sure educators and students have the chance to fall in love with aviation just like she did. >> they get to fly in our absolutely beautifully restored 1942 rm >> teacher flight puts educators in the cockpit of the world war ii aircraft and sends them home with a video to share with students in the classroom. the program is exciting teachers all over colorado. >> they get to see the video of their teacher flying. and all of a sudden it's like, wow, you know, mr. or mrs. so and so, that's just absolutely incredible and, you know,
