would have had the lead and brock osweiler would have stayed in the game against the chargers but gary kubiak said to put 18 back in and a victory later, here we are today asking kubiak, who is the starting cornerback for the playoffs?>> i have no timeline. i am focused right now on how i am going to go about getting the football team -- how we are going to approach it next week as we sit here and wait on our next opponent. `ike i said, giving them a break right now and we will settle down to get some schedules together and we go back to work ttursday. >> thursday is the first time they will return to prrctice and the first time we will see brock osweiler and peyton manning since yesterday. we will hear from brock osweiler about getting the hook against san diego later tonight. >> were you one of the lucky ones this morning? broncos playoff game went on %- sale and sold out within hours. >> now, your only chance to get these tickets is going to secondary sites. we checked on stub hub. $150. some sellers are asking for as much as $10,000 per ticket. >> we did check the broncos website tonight.

gary kubiak says it's fun. enjoyable, he says. being the top seed in the afc can make having a quarterback controversy easier to handleful it will be the mile-high question, until l gary kubiak does have that answer. who will start at quarterback for the broncos in the playoffs? brock osweiler, he's 5-2 as a starter, wins against the patriots and the bengals or with peyton manning, the future hall of famer, he came off the bench last night and led a victory. the floor is your, gary kubiak, what do you have? >> proud of our football team. and a few days off here, got a lot of things i'll need to do as a coach right now, i'm still up there trying to evaluate a lot of thing ks and so, i've got -- things and so, i've got nothing for you today. we'll go back to work thursday. >>reporter: broncos are off the next couple of days, so we can spend that time continuing to speculate as to who he will choose and he will make the decision and debate if it's the >> it is, mark. >> and we'll check in later, thank you, sir. >>> coming up, a crash

gary kubiak thought the team needed a spark. 20 second-half points with a win over the chargers. number one seed, first round bye. kubiak said the team is not worried about the quarterback. >>are football team understands we always have direction. we get together and we have direction and like i said they understand through the course of this season what has taken place with our team and how they have handled it and the fact that it has taken all of this, they understand that. i think right now they deserve to enjoy what they got accomplished and we will get back to work on thursday. >>the broncos have three days off. they don't know who they will playyin round two. will be the steelers, choose. >>if you are trying to get to the game, tickets went on sale this afternoon and they were almost fully sold out in less than an hour. if you have cash you can get some of the secondary market. from $150 to several thousand. >>there was no big line outside sports authority field the chance to buy tickets, it was all online. though they would quickly do not worry the team tickets to not get

gary kubiak said tom was at his best saturday. >>they put the game in tom's hand last week and it was coming out fast. you never know what you will 3 face. we know how great a player he ii, he has his weapons back intact. >>we talked about the seven dropped passes, this guy did broncos probably in the end zone, watch this guy. on's -- kickoffs he brought everything that came his way. we have found this man, we got in touch with him, he is getting in touch with gary kubiak and he might get a helmet in jerseya uniform. % we will find him and talk to him tomorrow. >>i did notice him. >>we will see you back here at our next item is a genuine "name your price" tool. this highly sought-after device from progressive can be yours for... twenty grand? -no! we are giving it away for just 3 easy payments of $4.99 plus tax! the lines are blowing up! we've got deborah from poughkeepsie. flo: yeah, no, it's flo. you guys realize anyone can use the "name your price" tool for free on progressive.com, right?

>> gary kubiak will inform the team tomorrow, i think their meeting is 8:30, 9:00, somewhere in there. to tell the team. i would think shortly there after, maybe we'll find out. you know. when you go on the practice field, it's pretty evident who the number one guy is. he takes the first reps. he's the first guy in line. and i do think the media, the public, everyone else will be told who the quarterback is tomorrow. who do i think? i think it will be peyton manning. >> i think most people think it will be 18. i think 17 played better. but a lot of pressure to put the hall of famer in there. we'll see what happens. last thing in the final 30 seconds, who will the broncos play? who do they want to play? i think steelers. i think they want texans. >> the steelers is probably the team they'll get. and maybe the team they don't want. they'll never say which of these teams but the team i think they don't want is the they're the team that can score the most. in other words, that's the only team so far that's put up points on that number one defense. that's the team that scares them the most

gary kubiak decided to go with peyton over brock osweiler. . look, either way, ii's good to have a proven winner this season, but gary says peyton's playoff experience and his health right now, look at him in practice today, were the main factors in the decision. >> me watching him practice today, i feel so good, i know exactly where he's at right ow, all of those things are obvious. yyu know, time on the job, you know, big games, playyff, you know, we understand all of that. but really, it's lways been about him physically and this is the best place he's been. >> brock has done a great job, helping us to be in a position to have a buy and that's a credit to a lot of guys. and but i'm looking forward to being back, part of the team, and hopefully contributing in some way. >> we also talked to brock today, he said he's disappointed but he's not starting but he supports peyton and the team a 100 sxers he's ready percent and he's -- 100% and he's ready. >> you go with the hall of famer, you've got brock, put him in, the future, and see what happen

now it's up to gary kubiak to decide whether quarterback will help the broncos do that. still at the stadium, rod mackey, 9news. >>> the broncos were able to snag home field advantage in the playoffs away from new england because in miami today the patriots were upset by the dolphins. tom brady got knocked down six times and was held first time this season. pats lose 20-10. in kansas city the parachutist crashed on the field but held on to the football then the chiefs beat the oakland raiders, extending their winning streak to a franchise record 10 games. kc wins 23-17. they'll open the playoffs at houston. >>> nuggets lost their sixth game in a row tonight. nugs were beaten by the portland trailblazers in denver. could have used peyton manning to come off the bench and save the day but he was unavailable. nuggies lose by a final score of 112-106. >>> college hoops tonight. colorado beat stanford and collected its first pakistan -- its first pac 12 victory of the season. buffs beat the cardinal 56-55. >>> nick's pick was wrong this week. nick the sea lion at the denver z

check. >> so, gary kubiak is not in there yet. the 27-20 victory today over the chargers, peyton manning comes in the second half and leads. peyton didn't win the game 69 yards, in touchdowns, but he came in, and provided a spark. been there, done that. >> maybe that calming influence, and it might have been just that subtle that brock didn't make a lot of the mistakes, but maybe peyton cominn in and the whole team feeling like he knows what it's like to be a tough situution like this and it brought everybody down a little bit. >> maybe they're just a little tight. >> the good vibe. >> fumbled, emanuel sanders and two tipped passes, none of this was brock playing awful, hooribly. but they needed something and they got it, when peyton manning came in, and now, like we said. >> right. >> where do we go from here? >> i was getting ready to drive in, it's like, wait a minute, the game barely started, alreadd 7-0 broncos. >> out of the gate. >> we're going to wipe them out today. and then, all of the stakes -`started coming in. >> they

gary kubiak and owen daniels. >> well, he's a pro. as a coach when you bounce places, you guys' names come up. sometimes you got to be careful, you know. but there are certain guys you have no doubt standing up for, saying put him on your team. he's one of those guys. >> reporter: in kubiak's first season as a head coach, he drafted daniels in houston, after eight years together, kubiak as the ravens offensive coordinator brought daniels to baltimore. then owen followed gary to denver. he's now headed to his first super bowl. >> 100% worth the wait to be in this situation. maybe has made it more meaningful, the grind through 10 years, finally being in this situation. i think maybe that makes it a >> works at it, it's important to him and i knew he would fit in. proud of him. >> reporter: forever linked. now daniels' first title game is also kubiak's first as a head coach. >> coach kub and i, we have been together 10 years and those years in houston were, they were satisfying because we took that -- we helped take that franchise from w

. >> and what will be on gary kubiak's mind when he closes . >> there is something funny about america's most prolific jewelry thief. for starters she is a she. very rare according to the fbi and she is working out a mask or a disguise. bodily shows her face to the she is wanted in several states. each crime follows the same pattern. she will case the place, come back and chat up a worker. that is when she takes out a gun and forces the employees into a back room. ties up the workers, steals their skis and takes what they want. >>> avatar step aside. star wars the force awakens is the biggest box office hit of all time in the u.s. it passed avatar's record. it took avatar 34 weeks to set the record in 2009. star wars is gaining on avatar to be the biggest global box office hit of all time. >>> in case you missed them before, the winning numbers, we have them for the $524 million power ball jackpot. again on your screen, they are on the screen. this is the sixth largest jackpot in u.s. history. megamillions is the only game that has gone above 600 million. if there is no winner tonight, s

gary kubiak and broncos players telling us today looking forward already. >> we worked hard to get this tremendous challenge at home. that's really exciting for our football team and fans, just looking forward to it. we'll have to play better than we played yesterday. we know that. i know we're all looking forward to it. >> they're players now, we wouldn't want it any other way. that's the beauty of playing in the national football league. against other great players, should be a good one. >> so it's brady versus manning, chapter 17, probably the final chapter. tom is 11-5 against peyton, but peyton got the w two years ago and brock beat brady here november 29th. remember this? yeah. brady is 2-6 in denver. he said on his radio show today it will be fun to play another peyton manning led team. broncos hope not. passes yesterday. well, this guy didn't drop anything. broncos ball boy in the end zone catching kickoffs with those sticky hands. the k man does this every game. i osted this video on my facebook page this morning, already over 72,000 views. receiver. watch for it. >>> avalanche

and tonight on the pages of his notebook, mike is acting like it was his idea all along. >> gary kubiak did not announce peyton manning as his playoff quarterback today because he wants to tell his team first. and his team is off until thursday. kubiak has to start manning and here's why. if he goes with brock osweiler, everybody in the stands, more importantly, everybody on the broncos sideline is going to be waiting for kubiak to put in the living legend off the bench and that's no way to start a playoff game. in a perfect world kubiak would keep his starting peyton and brock are two different styles. brock has a stronger arm and is more athletic. you would play more of a zone defense against him. manning is more of a surgeon with the way he operates. he doesn't have the arm or athleticism osweiler has. a defense a more apt below the box and play a tighter coverage so you'd like for a defense to prepare for brock then play manning. osweiler won't get a fair shake in all this but you only have manning for 30 more days as a bronco. you got to use him. mike klis, 9news. >>> nuggets will

the coach gary kubiak is talking about it right now. let's go live to the press conference. >> it was a combination of everything. i think it was about effort. i think we worked really hard. all of us. bill does a great job. he and pug, with their packages inside. and some of the stunts. and those type of things. but when you go back and look at it, i think our get-off was the most important thing. we got off on the ball really well. >> when you watch the film, where is the game plan that you had for sunday, how does it rank? >> it was special. you go across the board, we couldn't pick a specific guy. we played great defense. so we have plenty of balls ball go around. we played a lot of manned coverage and linebackers give the players credit. we made them get rid of the ball but we held up. with the coverage, they did a great job underneath. and the big guy, he is amazing. but, you know, we hung in there all day. and making him get rid of the ball is a big factor. >> and the secondary, as you mentioned, you have the backers constantly o

and tonight on the pages of his notebook, mike is acting like it was his idea all along. >> gary kubiak did not announce quarterback today because he wants to tell his team first. thursday. kubiak has to start if he goes with brock osweiler, everybody in the stands, more importantly, everybody on the broncos sideline is going to be waiting for kubiak to put in the living legend off the bench and that's no way to start a playoff game. in a perfect world kubiak would keep his starting quarterback a mystery because peyton and brock are two different styles. brock has a stronger arm and is more athletic. you would play more of a zone defense against him. manning is more of a surgeon with the way he operates. he athleticism osweiler has. a defense a more apt below the box and play a tighter coverage so you'd like for a defense to prepare for brock then play manning. osweiler won't get a fair shake in all this but you only have manning for 30 more days as a bronco. you got to use him. mike klis, 9news. >>> nuggets will have a great chance to snap their losing streak on wednesday at minnesota.

ready to find out who will be the starting quarterback for the playoffs, gary kubiak says he's not going to wait to make a decision. based on what team the broncos will be playing. >> i don't get into that. i worry about us. i'm not worried about who replay, i'm worried about our football team, our mind et, you know, our direction, so, no, i don't get too consumed with that stuff. >>>well, we've got the word today, broncos running back ronnie hillman, the afc offensive player of the week, chargers, hillman, 117 yard, the game winning touchdown. >> afc wildcard game this saturday, rematch, chiefs beat the texans in the first game of the season, chiefs went on to next five in a row. then win the next ten in a row. so the texans, looking for revenge. >> we have a chance to go back and look at how they played us, and go out and play them again, i don't look at it on a personal vendetta, me versus the kansas city chiefs. it was tough for us to have success against them. it's a challenge again to go against these guys. >> denver7 has that game, right here on saturday, winner could be coming to

putting him in this position right now. >> jim: again, big nod to gary kubiak who was decisive. you could say, well osweiler has had good performances, 4-2. he had averaged over 300 yards over the last three games. >> phil: right. >> jim: but kubiak says, you know what, after that fumble which had nothing to do with osweiler, it was anderson fumbling on the second play of the third quarter, he said we're going the make a change here. and has changed the culture of the offense. >> phil: that's exactly right. looks fresh, looks like he's rested. >> jim: mike mccoy is out there to check on his player. >> phil: he's walking off which is great. >> jim: let's get back to what they're going to face. it's going to be fourth and six. san diego, with two time-outs. stevie johnson is inactive, game, inman out for this play. all you have left are herndon, first year player, williams a rookie who caught an 80-yard touchdown for his first nfl catch. >> phil: well, what you have is antonio gates and danny wood head. the fact that denver is leading by seven points and n n three, would change my

. >> head coach gary kubiak met with manning and -- he brought them back to beat the chargers, it was manning's first game he saw action against the kansas city game. coming up at 11:45 this morning, coach kubiak is expected to have a press conferenne. the weather advisory has already been announce. this is at colfax and park avenue. >> reporter: we are going to pick up potentially an inch to an inch and a half. some neighborhoods on the east alreaay seeing snow sticking to the ground. and our snow totals could be pretty impressive. the stock show parade that we talked about this morning. so light snow for it. a live look at radar you can see where some of the active whether is where we have some slightly heavier snow up along 225 and e-470. some of those neighborhoods you are seeing it coming down. farther south as you head along i-25 we have picked up some pretty decent snow in the past six to eight hours. we are going to get another surge of snow coming in tonight and tomorrow. light snow will continue off and on today. mid to upper 30s and then we'll drop overnight into the 20s wi

gary kubiak since to that. i think it was the guy like to substitute teacher. you are throwing the spit wads and the paper airplanes because the substitute is in the game. then the regular teachers come -- teacher comes in and everybody shapes up. peyton manning did not do anything with his arm, but the team around him blocked better. all of a sudden they the ball. magic happens. i think for the crowd it was magical.>> to do you like the best for us? kansas city? >> everybody likes the 6 seed. i think it will be pics bird. i think the toughest opponents -- opponent will be the kansas city chiefs. you saw what happened the last time the peyton manning played. they can bring the pass rush and they have tight coverage on the receivers. they are the team that we get peyton manning the most trouble. >> now you know from insider mike cliff.>> they did not want us to know today because the team does not convene until thursday. biak wants to tell the team first. thursday will be when we officially find out the peyton manning is the quarterback.>> i'm just saying, you k

ultimately, it was gary kubiak's decision. when he made a decision the other day to go with peyton manning in a moment of trouble, that is why i have been saying all along that peyton manning hand to start. when you go into playoff game, let's say it is against the kansas city chiefs. alex smith comes down adrs and scores -- 80 yards and scores a touchdown. you have the players on the sideline and all the people in the stands. they will all be saying, when are you going to put in peyton manning? so, manning has been through it may happen the other way too , but i think manning can handle the tougher times. he has been through all the times in 18 years as an nfl quarterback. the way the team that -- the team responded to manning. when brock osweiler was there, it was like they were fooling around and throwing spit wads and paper airplanes. all of a sudden, peyton manning came in and it was like calling the principal. shape up. he didn't do much himself, it was the whole team. >> he did not throw in a long passes or anything lik
