as we look off to our southwest, more clouds. ohio, west virginia and pennsylvania. underneath those clouds the air is not cold or a storm. it's milder in the ohio river valley. 40s and 50s at this time. detroit, 41 . nashville, 52 . i point those out because that's inbound into new england for tomorrow. partly cloudy skies. coldest part of the night is actually just after midnight. usually the coldest part is around sun rise. but what happens tonight with the southwesterly breeze and the clouds coming init town the . your tuesday morning commute not as cold as your monday morning commute. more clouds tomorrow. nothing more than that. temperatures tomorrow between 45 . . wednesday morning clouds and sun in the afternoon. windy on wednesday but temperatures above normal. upper 30s to around 40 as a weak cold front moves through. it will generate wind. thursday, lots of sunshine. seasonal.

at the bottom of the screen. that's a storm system that will race up the east coast. there's another storm that dives out of the great lakes today. this storm near buffalo will try to grab the coastal low and pull it up init new england. if that were to happen it would be a problem. i don't think that's the case. i think this storm swings into new england with a couple of snow showers on friday. that's how i see it now. 7 on 7 forecast. saturday, flurries near 40 on saturday evening. sunday and early next week warming up. mid and upper 40s. >> the announcer: and now, time for 7 sports with alex. >> it's easy to say they were doomed in denver by a kick and a pick but neither the missed kick or the failed two-point conversion cost the patriots the loss. unfortunately thaiz how the loss may be remembered. despite holding peyton manning to three points in the second half the pats couldn't

hole and thanks to the missed extra point, they were forced to go for two late and just like that, bill belichick is off to the season. >> it's the same feeling 30 other teams have. and another team will have it next week. we've been in those situations. we've been on all sides of it. been on the good side of it and where we are today >> player like myself, i'm closeer to end of my career than the beginning. you realize how hard it is to get to that game. you realize how much is put into that. it makes it tougher because you know there's no guarantee to get back there. >> it ways tough day, man. hard fought football game. >> it's going to be hit from behind and drive. >> snapped brady a little bit off. at the goal line. hit by miller and sacked! >> denver with the blitz. steps up. >> can't block anybody today. >> it's football. i think there's a lot of plays i got hit hard today.

weeks worth of frustration over being called underdogs on tom brady hitting him more than 20 times more than any other quarterback was hit in a game all season long and admitting it felt better because of who it came against. >> well, that's why i hate him. they're always in the way. and, you know, they were in the way this time and we showed them they were in the better team. got them out of the way. >> all week, everybody counted us out. they said i couldn't every edleman and their receivers and tight ends and/or whatever. we eld them to how many points did they have? 18. that's the number one offense in the league and we shut them down >> we the number one seed. we got the number one defense. and picked the losing game. y-all going to do what you do. we do what we do. pick who y-all like. it is what it is. >> the broncos now their dance partner in santa clara, the

the cardinals getting four touchdowns from cam newton. if you tuned out anything that didn't have to do with the patriots pursuit of another super bowl we'll forgive you. the bruins and celtics have been batting to gain some traction. let's get you caught up. they woke up in a tightly packed eastern conference where themes three through 12 are just separated by five points. the 142 goals good for second in the east. but home ice has not been kind to the black and gold. they're 11-12-2 at the garden this season. brad stevens has taken five of the last seven holding down fifth place in the east. they've got room for improvement when things get tight. the celtics are one in five by games decide bid three points or less. back in action tonight.
