. >> on the problems of demaryius thomas. >> it's time for him to step up. he's the offensive captain. number, two -- number two, more drops and here's a guy that if nothing else, throw the ball up for jump ball. let's see what he can do. i've seen two great catches out of him all year long. he's not been -- being a 70 $70 million wide receiver. i want to see that in demaryius thomas. >> i want to see them stop on the first possession. broncos have to be better on on the first drive that would be go especially if they stop them on three out -- and out. >> giver the texans the ball, sack brock tryst twice. >> reporter: maybe -- -- --- sack brock twice and maybe get a tun over. we've got to have a better start than the previous two games. >> it's like they are climbing long's peak. last two games. >> when yoo had manning you could defer to the second half. if they win the toss, take the ball first. establish something. don't sit back and -- and wait for something to happen gentleman that's crazy talk. defense on the field sack brock, go defense first. >> we'll

both jordan taylor and demaryius thomas fumbled and they lose the interim hard -- head-coaching debut 21-13. >> welcome back live to the broncos locker room with head -- interim head coach joel joining us now. and coach, for 3 1/2 quarters you couldn't get anything going. you showed a lot of heart in the fourth two nearly come back. >> way too many mistakes. we turned the ball over, we had penalties and just didn't play smart football tonight and we have to do that to win. >> reporter: what is the difference? stop making mistakes because the first 3 1/2 quarters yooper sputtering. >> you get those penalties in the put-backs we have to get back to the drawing board on monday when we come back and the leaders have to be back there and we've got to play better. >> reporter: a tough way to end the game but what was the experience like for you? you've waited so long and you know your team had your back. you just couldn't get it done. much difference but i just could've -- i wish we could've gotten the win. i'm sick to my stomach that we couldn't get the win. >> reporter: thanks, back to yo

you guys took care of the my left emmanuel sanders, and to his left, demaryius thomas. i feel a little like trevor siemian. >> i wouldn't go that far. >> my throws weren't that good. >> you guys said you were going to bounce back. you knew the magnitude of that game. we sought right off the bat against texas. >> thank god we finally got over that streak. we were going in 07-2, and we couldn't end that game and be 0- 3. i think in the second quarter we hit offensively. we came into the huddle and everybody was mad, we were down 6-0. we just took off from there. we became the offense that we need ton. we started running the ball and were able to get them out of zone coverage, then they started playing me and demaryius man to man, and good luck with that. >> dt, you guys were saying once coops came back he sent a message, let's get back on track. and the same thing i was talking to you about.

lynch through a pass to demaryius thomas. the defense had its own issues as well as the falcons came in with the number one offense and found room to work pattern. matt ryan's 267 passing yard had 180 coming including 132 receiving yards for tevin coleman. the broncos may have limited julio jones but the falcons tested the linebackers and became the first nfc to win in denver since the detroit lions. one of the reasons the players became a championship team the last season was their ability to bounce back and take ownership of their mistake. >> what i like to win that game? yes. we lost a game like this last year. so this team is resilient. we have a great locker room. i for to bounce back. >> reporter: up next for the broncos is a short week to prepare for the san diego chargers thursday night in san diego. trevor siemian said one benefit is the team will have a chance to get this taste out of their mouth pretty quickly. i like that, guys. >> in a way, romi , does the loss help them? >> reporter: i think it is like we said.

winds increasing east of town, but calm demaryius thomas. humidity about 18 percent, and 64 degrees outside the studio. high pressure is in charge mean? well, when you have an area of high pressure centered over the region it acts likes a big dome, a big stable area of sinking air, and typically pushes the jet stream north of the area. there's a whirling mass of air that typically brings good weather. the winds spin out clockwise, scenario like this. the moisture vividly illustrated with green and purple, and stays away from the region. high and mid-level clouds on the southwest flow, and temperatures above average again, but there's some welcome rain into drought-ravaged california the next few days, and the cool air tracks to the north. a few high clouds around the area tonight, but i think there's a potential of a mountain wave cloud that could cut temperatures a degree or to, but it's dry despite the cloud cover and flow, and temperatures stay way above average overnight. 45 in limon, 44 vail, and 52 grand junction. summer-like temperatu

happy. >> demaryius thomas and sanders. they have not run the ball since steven son went down early in that game. >> reporter: this is the perfect game because when you look at the team and the defense, the buccaneers have averaged giving up nearly 5 touchdowns per game. with the broncos seeming to get on track, this could be the perfect timing game. >> i think the score. trevor siemian has built on each game so far. he's gotten a little better on each of the thee games. it would be nice if he was consistent, mistake-free again. >> reporter: it's the 3 and 0 broncos against the 1 and 2 tampa bay buccaneers. >> the buccaneers are giving up a ton of points right now. the offense for the broncos heads an opportunity to build in a pink shirt. >> shirts, ties and sport coats in tampa right now? >> no thank you. >>> aaron just had a baby boy. >>> all right. this has got to be the video of the day. it's a group of firefighters in china rescuing got stuck in a pipe. the kitten got stuck in just the right spot to have its head stick

demaryius thomas has extra reason to smile today. his grandmother, many perl thomas, has just been released from prison. she was serving a life sentence for drug trafficking but president obama commuted her sentence in august. she was transferred to a halfway house in atlanta it will remain there for several weeks. dt told kimi carmen her release came a little early and it was a bit of surprise. sentence of dt's mom last year. they were arrested and sent to prison when he was just ten years old. the broncos walk of the falcons to mile high on nobody is scoring more points than atlanta. >> at least recently until he come here. the denver defense will have a challenge. the big question who will be leading their offense? >> still recovering from the shoulder injury. after sitting on a practice yesterday, trevor simeon getting back toward today but there is no guarantee he go by sunday. the young quarterback did make his first throes of the week and that is encouraging. the ac joint sprain still needs time to heal. it is his non-throwing

offensive lineman but he capitalized, very next play i should say trevor siemian finds gary -- demaryius thomas. here's -- 2nd quarter, trevor siemian gets sacd it's paxton lynch time. three scoring drives and scored his first nfl td to emmanuel sanders as the broncos when it 27 -- win it 27-7. not bad for aqib talib returning home. >> we had confidence in new we would have five or six opportunities to get our hands on the football and i think we capitalized on three of them. i got a warm welcome on the to be able to put on a show like that was special. >> he was this close to having another pick six according to him. he had 16 quarterback hits today. this is starting to become them -- the norm for denver.. >> it was supposed to be simple, come to tampa win, go home. plus the broncos are getting home a lot later than scheduled. because of that 90 minute lightning delay so how did they pass the time? automation all access coming up. extras >> the fans aren't excited but showing their appreciation. they finished 75-87. >> i think next year is going to be really exciting here in denver. i think we

have to be more comfortable and that's the decision he's going to make in the does demaryius thomas would know. he got to catch passes from trevor siemian for the quarterback nursing eight shoulder surgery after observing must a practice yesterday. who starts on sunday will be a gametime decision. siemian was limited at practice today but to get his first rows of the weekend. siemian suffered an ac joint sprain in his left shoulder when he was sacked by the bucs last week. rookie paxton lynch is taking first-team reps this week so we will be good to go if needed but it >> took some seven on seven and some of that stuff that we do and he did all of the individual stuff in pre- practice. he threw and so i think we took a big step forward today. like i said probably see how he feels tomorrow. >> matt ryan and the falcons are rolling and hot this weekend. atlanta is best in show right now averaging 480 yards on offense and 38 points per game for the broncos defense has been allowing just 283 yards and 16 but the game began. nick griffith caught up with one of the main threat to the denver def

you see 88, that is demaryius thomas. too big, too strong. broncos lead 14-6, they had some field goals and funneled going in for seimian goes up top and sanders got close and for the first time in the rookie career of devonte booker, he takes its into the end zone and finds the paint there and that gave denver a 12-point lead. in the fourth. what! we got fooled by this. we thought that was a pass. somehow it spirals out of his hand even though he lost it as you'll see the empty hand there. and that suffocating broncos defense gets them to 5-2. busy tuesday in sports. first game of the world series and the nba tips off. we will see you when they're done at midnight eastern here on "sportscenter." enjoy your tuesday. >> you too. thanks. >>> now up next in "the pulse," president obama on "jimmy kimmel live" reading mean tweets. >>> booted from the ballroom. which couple was sent home on "dancing with the stars"? so i asked about tresiba?. ? tresiba? ready ? tresiba? is a once-daily, long-acting insulin that lasts even longer than 24 hours. i wa

winds increasing east of town, but calm demaryius thomas. humidity about 18 percent, and 64 degrees outside the studio. high pressure is in charge of the weather, and what does that mean? well, when you have an area of high pressure centered over the region it acts likes a big sinking air, and typically pushes the jet stream north of the area. there's a whirling mass of air that typically brings good weather. the winds spin out clockwise, and with the storm track to the north you'll have a forecast scenario like this. the moisture vividly illustrated with green and purple, and stays away from the region. high and mid-level clouds on the southwest flow, and temperatures above average again, rain into drought-ravaged california the next few days, and the cool air tracks to the north. a few high clouds around the area tonight, but i think there's a potential of a mountain wave cloud that could cut temperatures a degree or to, but it's dry despite the cloud cover and flow, and temperatures stay way above grand junction. summer-like temperatures

trevor siemian threw for a touchdown to cj anderson and demaryius thomas ran it in. broncos win 27-9. >> drew soicher and chad brown join us after a game the broncos really needed to win after they dropped two straight. >> reporter: they did. in fact, broncos haven't lost three in a row since tim tebow's season. they lost three in a row that plays that poorly, he throws four interceptions, too. he just had a bad game. it wasn't disgusting. >> reporter: it wasn't awful interceptionswise, but he wasn't throwing the ball downfield, never pressured the broncos defense. >> reporter: 9news live postgame coverage continues, rod mackey in the locker room with chris ayers. >> reporter: i know everyone is saying it's the broncos versus the texans. all the fans were saying it's the broncos versus brock. you shut him down like that >> that was the man if we take away the deep shots and make him throw underneath and he couldn't beat us that way. >> reporter: aqib said he saw like 60 some yards total yardage for brock in the 3rd quarter. total dominance by the defense. >> that's w

. >> little touchdown for demaryius thomas with a nice reach. all it does is put a little bit of window dressing on a 23-16 final. >> the broncos go down and we begin to digest this. as he mentioned and turnaround with a quick game we actually have gary kubiak on the podium now. let's listen in. >> we get down by 13 or something like that and struggle to protect a little bit. we put them in a tough situat want to put him in. we battled and didn't play very good. you have to give it lynn a credit. they made a lot of big plays against us and did a great job. once they got us down. give them credit. they are a good football team. we have to have a short memory and get back to work. >> geary coming to go over the decision to play paxton and the first place. >> we just inventing trevor was ready. we watched a mark friday and talk to them saturday morning a thought paxton had a good week of practice. just a gametime decision. a lot of guys get together and watch them practicing what he is doing. didn't want to expose him today. we didn't think he was

leaving for houston in the offseason. 2nd quarter the man who replaced him, trevor siemian finds demaryius thomas for the 4-yard touchdown giving the broncos the lead. denver dominates osweiler and the texans 27-9 and they are tied for first place with the raiders in the afc west. >>> it has been 113 days since kevin durant announced he was signing with the warriors. now we're just 20 hours from his golden state regular season debut. jd and the warriors open up a new season tomorrow night against san antonio. last night at oracle durant prepped for the season at the kanye west concert by jumping into the mosh pit. >> i was telling all my friends the whole summer i wanted to get in the mosh pit and it was amazing. >> i cut practice short a little bit today because i saw you got a great workout last night. >> also tomorrow night game one of the world series between the indians and cubs. chicago will be playing their first world series game in 71 years, but despite their drought the cubs were the world series favorites come into the season. those expectations were something manager joe maddon wanted

but late in the fourth, broncos down 21-10, siemian throws to demaryius thomas for a decent gain, but fumbles the ball. denver did get a late field broncos lose 21-13. but there's some good news about number 73 broncos left tackle russell okung is out of the hospital this morning. he was taken by ambulance to a san diego hospital after suffering concussion like symptoms after the game. it's not clear when he might have gotten hurt, but he did have a couple of costly penalties in the second half. he is doing well. thousands of people are lacing up and getting ready for the seventh annual rock n roll denver half marathon that kicks off this weekend. 13.1 miles. i think i will be in the crowd for that one the starting line is at civic center park fox 31's julie leonardi is live with a preview. it's only half a marathon. you can't do that? can you? yes. he is lying. let you a full marathon why did they change it? i'll be in the crowd with you guys. here is that change. last year was a full marathon for the rock and roll this year and a 10k all in the span of two days. the finish line is r
