>> from colorado sports leader, here is rod mackie. >> don't get too excited too soon. that was the feeling after the nuggets opened their season with a win at new orleans. remember, denver won game one on the road last year as well th 49 setbacks for denver last season. the last team that they lost to portland which happened to be the same team they opened up at home against tonight. denver was down eight at the half, but used a third quarter run to take it over. emmanuel misses. denver with the first lead of the game! things got crazy in the fourth. power went out at pepsi for 28 minutes and then once it came

points of regulation to force overtime. that's where we are right now. the game is tied once again at 109-109. the best part of this game was at halftime. that's when the nuggets honored one of their best to ever hoop it up here in denverment -- denver. dikembe mutombo's number 55 raised to the rafters. no nugget will wear those digits again. >> people will come from generation to generation will see that name and it mean a lot. it means a lot to my family. >> avs-coyotes. arizona scored first, but not most. colorado did. rene bourque got his first goal with colorado ever and matt duchene scored not once, but twice. avs win as they bounce back from last night's 1-0 loss.

dern 3-2. du beat western michigan today. the cowboys came flew a huge way as they -- through in a huge way as they shocked unbeaten boise state. late safety by appleby the difference. biggest mountain west win ever for wyoming. first time they have beaten the broncos. safe to say there is a big party in laramie tonight! 30-48 the final. >> we are making it puts us back on it. it's a great win. i'm going to enjoy it. >> you look at the crowd behind you. >> go!

avenge the loss in san diego. >> a big burst. steps under tackle, 15, right by him, touchdown denver! >> for years, it seems san diego represented a second bye week for the broncos. five straight wins against the chargers until last time. now it's time for the broncos to play the bolts back just 18 days after that rare setback. >> i'm happy to be playing them again this early. you know, we are looking forward to it and we still have a bad taste in our mouth going into this past game. we're ready for it. >> we've got a good feel for them. familiar opponent. so, going off of what they've done all year, what they did to us and then what they've done the last two weeks, so i think we have plenty to watch on them. >> i'd rather be a divisional game than a team we didn't know. they do a good job scheduling these games. the san diego chargers is a team we're familiar with. whatever you play them on sunday, it will be a different team, but we are familiar with

type of scheme they run. >> a lot has changed since that thursday night game to forget. for one, broncos have their head coach back, but the chargers are suddenly on a roll after beating the broncos and the other team to down denver, atlanta. >> they played and won close games all year long. they've got some interesting stats. i think they've led -- held the lead more than anybody in this league right now. they just lost some games late, but played really well and obviously got after to atlanta and beat a really good football team on the road. >> the san diego chargers win it in overtime! >> they are always a good team. they weren't bad. their offense is always in the top. they always have an elite offense. they weren't finishing those games, so now they learn how to win, we have to get them back to that so they get back to losing. >> finally, the cubs snapped one streak. they made it to the world series for the first time since

chicago won it all. if they are to repeat that feat, they need to come back from three games down to one. yes, they are down to the indians. corey kluber got them again doing damage on the mound and on the plate. a run in the second thanks to chicago's second error in that inning. cleveland wins. the final score was 7-2. same
