cam newton was a regular seaso being the super bowl mvp. ovenl to see why. he had two-and-a-half sacks, forced two fumbles, both of which the broncos recovered. newton completed 44% of his passes, threw an interception, no touchdowns, fumbled the ball twice, we are actually hoping for the same kind of thing tonight. >> we are, we are. but you know, all kidding aside, cam newton is truly one of the best quarterbacks in the league, not only now, but probably ever. to be a hall of famer someday myself. >> talk about a franchise. >> we'll send it back to the studio and i believe to marty, right? >> amelia. >> sorry, amelia. >> hey guys, we'll talk about the broncos traffic now, we've got a game plan for you, if you are headed out to mile-high or down to civic center park for the pregame concert and all of the awesome festivities down there. first, let's talk about mile-high. the stadium today, i personally around 3:00, pregame festivities out to maybe tailgate or get to your destination, so as for the busy traffic around the stadium, 25 colfax and federal are goi

cam newton takes huge hit by two defenders. he's clearly hurting on the sidelines but did not miss any time. after a broncos touchdown, this is how you go from bad -- oh, no -- to worse. the ball bounce in the air and broncos came down with it, leading to a denver touchdown with nine minutes left. the broncos took their very first lead of the game. with less than 30 seconds left, they're down one point and cam newton marched them down the field. oh, no. it's wide left. the panthers lose their opening game of the 2016 season 21-20. that's all the time we have for sports this morning. be sure to tune in this evening with more on the game as well as highlighting and refraction several high school teams. all that and more at 6:00 and 11:00. >> thanks, jeff. hated seeing cam hit to the head like that. beairshelle? >>> starting today, people cubicaing their ballot. we'll tell you how and get you ready for election day. >>> plus we have your forecast and we'll also let you know how traffic is moving on 440 and raleigh. we're coming ri

hopefully cam newton found a nice tug after this one because it did not go well. started well for the home team up 3-0 . you tick and they look to cruise a bit but the vikings will score the next 22 points. starting with the safety minnesota defense oliver kamm eight sacks this one is worth two points. you heard eight sacks he was on the grass a lot. panthers leading 10-8 at the half and that will not last. sam bradford kyle rudolph makes it 16-10 vikings camp continues to try to make something happen goal so it's 19-10 vikings final shot for the panthers no protection yet again for kamm who avoids his ninth sack of the game by throwing his third pick up again. brutal outcome for the panthers as they lose 22-10 in the locker room after the game. >> i feel like i should be talking to you come down here because this is where cam newton spent most of his time this afternoon on the grass at bank of america stadium. second-most in his six-year carolina korea. >> when you get one sack you have to get a better job. >> you don't want to go backwards whether penalties or s

throughout his career, cam newton has been one of the hardest hit q.b.'s in the nfl. and that was on full display last night. cam newton is bigger than most linebackers temperature takes a lot to bring him down, especially when he's hit in the head four times by the denver defense. only once did he -- did it draw a flag. broncos say it was often cam who initiated the contact. >> we don't pay that any mind. we're not gonna stop being aggressive. that's what we do. and that's 1. >> i'm not sure what it wassism disagree with that. i saw two plays where he left the pocket where there were big collisions going on. there were a lot of collisions in the game. we'll see what the league says. >> darian stewart does expect to be fined by the nfl and the nfl said another hit by brandon marshall should have been one as well? >> i would expect it. >>> breaking news: a school board member is under arrest for internet luring of a child. vashaw is the director of the adams school board. he was caught in an internet sex tin operation, and the alleged lure did not involve any children

that showed in the 2nd half against cam newton. what did it take to get some pressure on him in the 2nd half? >> we just weren't executing right. and in the 2nd half we communicated a lot better. we executed better. that's the type of defense you get when you're doing things the right way. >> how does this set the tone for the season? >> oh, man it's a great start. we gotta take it one game at a time. next week we got indie, after the nfl season opener. we'll do our poll results real quick. 53 10-12 this season. that'll do it for which you are you? be the you who shows up in that dress. who hugs a friend. who is done with treatments that don't give you clearer skin. be the you who controls your psoriasis with stelara? just 4 doses a year after 2 starter doses. stelara? may lower your ability to fight infections and may increase your risk of infections and cancer. some serious infections require hospitalization. before treatment, get tested for tuberculosis. before starting stelara? tell your doctor if you think you have an infectio

cam newton thew a touchdown... and ran in another... it was 17-7 but the broncos dominated from there... scoring 2 touchdowns late... the panthers still had a shot to win in the end... but this kick sailed left... no good... broncos win it 21- 20. a playoff win..its kicked in the air, and its kicked into the 43 yard line and check out this crazy play from last night.. panther's quarter back cam newton throws the ball... and it gets batted way up into the air. broncos cornerback chris harris jr then jumps up.. making the interception. is your child always going 100 miles per hour?? don't fight them... join them. take those motor mouths... out to see some real motors... we'll tell you about a cool new i'm really good at war. i love war in a certain way. including with nukes, yes including with nukes. i know more about isis than the generals do, believe me. nuclear, just the power the devastation, is very important to me. i want to be unpredictable, unpredictable, unpredictable, unpredictable. morning with dave hall, maria silva, monica ja

there were a couple of plays on cam newton that i was stunned that they were not penalized. i am fine with the broncos being an aggressive and sometimes overly aggressive defense. let me get in everybody said. great defenses have to be aggressive. this is something that started last year. they are keeping it p couple of hits that are on the border and a couple of penalties. if it costs you games, that is something else. but the broncos are a little overaggressive. >> sam:if you talk about hitting tom brady, if you just read on him you get a penalty. other players can get hit in the head with a helmet. you talk about concussions and how the lake has not been helping them out, the same guys are like, that was a great hit. that. in professional sports you get away with what you can get away with on any level. if they don't see any flags and they are aggressive and launching themselves, i guarantee they are going to continue to do it until the nfl or a certain group of officials at a game stop them sam: entirely simeon had been hit like chemnitz -- >>> good evening, history at c

remember again last year peyton manning fading, cam newton a great year. the panthers were favored. in 2013 the broncos were seahawks. defense is never the reason to be favored. it's always about the quarterback and the offense. >> seems like the nfl always tries to kick off the season with a super bowl rematch, but it hasn't happened in 46 years. >> reporter: yeah. and i'm proud to say th i watched that game 46 years ago, the minnesota vikings did beat the kansas city chiefs to look at the broncos schedule, it's kind of how it fell. they always rotate divisions of the opposite conference who you can play. really the only other choice would have been houston and brock osweiler, but that would have been more about what the broncos lost, not what the broncos won which was super bowl 50. >> good point. maybe that's why the broncos are underdogs because the vikings won that rematch 46 years ago. thanks, mike. >>> the san francisco giants intentionally walked n carlos gonzalez today.
