smartphones, you want it in your glove come partable. it is highly durable, you can smash it around, everything after the smashing gave way to the best bargain i've seen in a long time. take a look. >> i never care whether or not you buy any item i feature, but since we've been testing this, this past winter, where i came in -- i'd say a very nice understanding of this item, solar panels so this will not use, but it also has a backup battery, sos mode. readings have been amazing for this item. but the price is something that actually is unbelievable today. we've noticed that there's a bunch of price drops tied to these models, they're making way for next year's model but at $21 with all of your emergency needs met and your ability to charge a bunch of device s at one. if you want to check in this out, i posted a full review,

durability is unbelievable. water resistant and again, something that i want to have in my glove compartment. matt, thank you. the broncos are off on a 2-0 season. the clutch plays of the defense. 9 news sports analyst ron zappolo is joining us now in the past, the defense has had a tough time against andrew luck, but this time not s defense. i've spent the last three or four weeks watching national television, people predicting the demise of the broncos and i thought to myself, really, did you see the kind of defense they have? when you play this kind of defense, you will be in every single l game. it was 13-6 at the half. this is what makes them the highest paid play ner the nfl, third and 20, 21 yards for a

treated rudely, a great drive here. they tied the game at 13. the broncos get a field goal to go up 3. biggest play of the team. aqib talib was the best player last year during the entire regular season. the 5th time in two years that he's had a pick 6 but luck brings him has got the ball, down 6 and von miller, the third sack of the day, strip shack, shane ray picks it up, touchdown, broncos win 34-20. you can talk a lot about von miller and a lot of people say why did elway pay him like a quarterback. thatst the reason why. the guy that rushes the

down as oneover the best of all time. lawrence taylor was the best ever. von miller is on that track. that's how dominant he is. and he takes their defense from really good to special. and the other thing about their defense, a lot of defenses force turn over, look at what they do. they force turn overs and they score. >> right. >> on those turn overs. that's the difference with the denver defense. >> money. what are your overall thoughts about trevor siemian. >> i'm very impressed. no idea that trevor siemian was this poised, cool and smart. he knows where to throw the football. he is limiting his mistakes, he made one bad throw yesterday. where they got a break, a pick and the guy, he strained his am string, but trevor siemian throws the ball, if you watch

this is something that has had two starts in the nfl. he's only going to get better. >> right. >> he's got going to level off. so i think if you went into the bronco meme rooms today and got the players privately and you said to them whashgs do you think of the quarterback? they'd give you -- they're all like, are you kidding many e? >> right. >> we can win with this guy. so i think, you know, all the talk about paxton lynch is going to play and he's the future, we don't know what the future is. if they keep playing like this, paxton field this season. >> real quick, i want to talk about the future, looking ahead, they're playing cincinnati on sunday. >> tough game. >> yeah, what are your thought snss? >> they never look ahead but one game, but we k. they're in cincinnati and tampa bay. they'll never admit this. but if you get a split fl and 3-1 after the first four games, you're in great shape. cincinnati will be tough. coming awful a very tough loss yesterday in pittsburgh, very difficult at home, they play

thing, defense travels, the broncos defense will show up. and if you keep holding teams, to 17-20 points a game like it looks like they're going to do, you're going to be in every game, to have a chance to win every game. i don't know what the broncos final record is going to be. but i know they're not going to get blown out. we're not going to be in if fourth quarter and no shot. >> right. >> that's how dominant denver is on defense. so i think thal give cincinnati all they want, we'll see what happened and they get tampaay always. interesting stuff. thanks to both of you. brandon marshall says losing endorsements is not going to change his mind. making a statement during the national anthem is about principle and not money. he knelt for a second game. he's doing it to protect social injustice in the united states. marshall lost more thn $32,000 in endorsement money after he knelt before the home opener against the panthers. marshall says that doesn't make him feel any differently about
