Five touchdown passes from manning tonight. Cris didnt even have to pick on that one. That was an auto pick. Come down here and everybody gives up. These two guys just quit. They dont even try to follow wes welker. Dont know if theres confusion or what, but that looks like a tired defense out there right now for the ravens. First game of the year, no huddle, altitude. It is about to get ugly. Al mannings last game with more than 4 touchdown passes was years ago. The Denver Broncos, 6 30 to go in the Third Quarter have assumed command on Opening Night, 3517. [ dog barking ] hey lady noooo no [ tires screech ] nooo nooo nooo hey lady, thats diesel i know. Waiting all day for sunday night al Carrie Underwood is our first sunday night game will be down in texas. Giants cowboys. Another manning. Eli. And then in the week and a half its eli and peyton as denver goes to take on the giants at the meadowlands. The kickoff resulting in yet another touch back and the ball comes out to the 20 yard line. The Baltimore Ravens have dug an 18point hole. Cris probably couldnt have had a tougher assignment than Peyton Manning when youve got this remade defense on the other side. No ray lewis. No ed reed. No bernard pollard. No donnell ellerby. Trying to fit all of the pieces back together. Im sure its going to be better later, but tonight Peyton Manning is putting on a clinic for them. Al flacco chased. Almost sacked. Hell have to sling it away. Second and 10. Cris kevin vicker son looking for intentional grounding. Hes outside the tight end box there and youre allowed to throw it away. That guy there has done a job. Once you get outside the area in red and you reach the line of scrimmage, you can throw it away. Al flacco to the outside. Brandon stokely. Pick up of about 8 setting up the third down and 2. Cris joe flacco and for any quarterback, theres just a comfort level. He established something with Anquan Boldin. The whole idea of throwing it to a receiver. Thats when Anquan Boldin was his best. We kind of get the feeling for flacco looking for who is that guy going deep for me. Al meanwhile, the defense has done a pretty good job oncor resmith tonight. Hes minus his running mate in jacoby jones. Ray rice gets stopped. The question is did he get to the 30 yard line. A skirmish breaks out. Theyre going to spots it just shy of the 30 yard line. Jack dell rios has had a few skirmishes of his own. Cris hes going to hit ray rice solidly in the backfield. Al sam koch to punt. Sixth of the gram. Brachb holliday. Holliday gets a block. Holliday gets spun around and knocked down to the 26 yard line. Less than 5 00 to go in the Third Quarter with the broncos up by 18. [ rumbling ] hey, i appreciate it man. Im a big fan. Me too. This one goes out to a couple friends of mine. [ male announcer ] when cold refreshment calls, coors light answers. Frost brewed coors light. The worlds most refreshing beer. Frost brewed coors light. Google, glossophobia,ophobia . Or speech anxiety, is the fear of public speaking. This is preeminently the time to speak the truth frankly and boldly. This is no unsolvable problem if we face it wisely and courageously. Let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is. Fear itself. clapping al Peyton Manning chasing brett favre. Manning in pursuit. His season averages are there. If he maintains his averages he would break the passing record in the 15th game of 2015 and the 6th game in touchdown passes of 2015. Hes on that kind of a pace right now. The ball is at the 26 yard line. On the gas peddle hits welker at the 40 yard line. A flag is down. Referee holding, number 27, offense. 10yard penalty. Still first down. Al thats moreno. Im thinking about manning. We go back a year. It was Opening Night against pittsburgh. There was so much mystery. He had missed a year. He had missed so much time. Four neck surgeries. The questions answered. Cris they didnt start very fast last year. I think it was the second game of the year, threw three interceptions in that game. Everybody going, oh, he cant drive the ball down the field anymore. Al moreno picks up the first down. On a first and 20 after he cost them the 10 yards for the holding penalty, he nets them the first down on the gain of 23. Cris if youre a tight end, youre eventually going to have to block. Theres Julius Thomas working against elvis dumervil. Thats good enough. Knowshon moreno is sneaking out of the backfield. This is just a clinic. Al moreno gets knocked down. Theres gase. Cris you cant get to him fast enough. You have to leave a little camera in the corner of your screen. He is calling those plays as fast as that microphone turns on. Al sometimes you jump the gun a little bit. Chris canty, former giant, runs him down. Cris they are really excited about the play of chris canty. We were talking to terrell suggs. He said, i know everybody is talking about others but chris canty is healthy. Al third and 14 from the 35 yard line. Peyton manning running away. Thrown on the run and its incomplete. Welker had actually got poging and gotten behind webb. The pass behind both of them and its fourth down. Cris ill tell you, it has helped than Lardarius Webb has lost sight of the ball. Since theyve moved him it hasnt been quite as brutal. Welker, let me have the play. Al theres web bab back to return the kick. Al made at the 17 yard line and if that comes in, theres contact. I think at this particular point in the game jimmy smith was involved. Hes the guy whos going to wind up with the penalty call. Cris yes. Well after the fair catch was made. Wasnt a brutal hit. Probably lost track of where the ball is. After the play is over, personal foul, number 22 of the return team. Half the distance to the goal. First down. Cris you know, its at a moment like that you wonder what would ray lewis have to say on the sidelines. Theres going to have to be people that fulfill the role. Theyre going to have to play smarter this year and not lead the league in penalties again. Al six total yards in the second half. Flacco airs one out from the left side. Thats incomplete intending for torrey smith. Covered by dinique rodgerscromartie. They did a nice job to mr. Smith limiting him to three tasks. Champ bailey got burned repeatedly last year by torrey smith. Now dominique rodgerscromartie comes over here and jack del rio said if you are not ready to be coached, dont come here. You did not play well last year in philadelphia. I can fix it if youre willing to be coached hard. Thats what hes done. Al dlals claallas clark. Third and seven next. Ill tell you, its been a coverage to watch. Theres identified backers. After champ returns. Cris he throws and thats caught. The first down as dallas clark made the catch outside the 20 yard lines. 2 1 2 to go, 2 14. Did a good job of working back. The only thing that saves you, you see some of the infighting. Its all undercut. Al ravens first down. Getting there simultaneously with the ball was Duke Ihenacho making contact with dallas. An illegal second down. When you watch a film of him he comes out of nowhere. Think of guys like john lynch that could start 15 minutes off the ball and make it a play. Al mike adams. Second down and 10. Incomplete. Intended for marlon brown. Covered by toby carter. Cris one of the things they wanted to do this year that they did not do last year is bang them. Last year they let torrey smith get a free release. He tore them up. Theyre trying to be more physical with the ravens receivers torre 59. Walking off the field slightly shaking. Third and 10. And thats batted up in the air and incomplete. Delayed blitz. David boothe comes in there. Balance batted. Its fourth down. Cris all kinds of stuff going on on that one. They did have torrey smith wide open and flacco said they were unsettles. I hadcris cris the pressure for quick decisions. Referee after the play was over, personal foul, number 66 of the offense. Half the distance of the goal. Fourth down. Al well take a look where torrey smith was. Cris coverage gets blown. Hes absolutely wide open. Again, the pressure. You have to give credit to jack del rio taking a chance and it did, it paid off. Sam kochs seventh punt of the night. Holiday back to receive it. To the 29. Brings it back out to the 42 yard line. Bruton is down on the play. Cris bruton has had a big night. Yeah, very active. Watch, koch punts earlier. Now hes demanding he needs the staffs attention. So sunday night for the league opening up sunday and monday. We go to at t stadium in arlington. Eli manning tony romo. We get the it started. They play in jersey world. Cris tony romo is sick of hearing about it. This year its on both offensive lines. You have to get it settled quickly. Al and the ravens need to get a couple of things settled quickly. Whether its jacoby jones and whether he can come back in short order. Opening a week from sunday. Cris Opening Night is always the toughest night, al. It really is. Youre exhausted. In preseason you never play more than maybe 2 1 2 quarters in this no offense going both ways. Its a hot night. Al brutal. Cris the ravens should have been playing in baltimore. Tough assignment. Al the ravens did not want to move. The schedule came out before they won the super bowl. The first team since they won during the day. The baseball schedule had come out. The orioles had a game tonight. The ravens tried to get them to move it and the orioles said no. Second and 6. Once they take care of the parking lot and the facility next to each other. It would have been new england at baltimore im guessing. Those are the two logical choices. Cris harbaugh was actually mad. He said, im glad we dont have all the ser knowny. We get to the you ask him after the game, he might have different answers. Al third down and 6. Jason manning and knocks him down as he gets rid of it. Its incomplete and a flag is down. Referee holding, number 74, offense. That penalty is declined. So with 1 00 to go in the Third Quarter a change of possession of your cris i will say this, baltimore with back to back stops, now its up to the audience. Its a team in transition. They are geared around their quarterback more than its ever been. Now its involved in the leadership roll is big. Sweb back there. Calling to make the fair catch at the 12 yard line. Broncos with the defense and the changes and the last two years, 30 sacks from von miller, 18 1 2 coming last year. 20 1 2 with those last year. 42 it is 1 for the rest of the team. Over two years. So far so good tonight. They look good in the second. Trying to keep it going against the ravens trying to get back into the game with 1 00 left to play in the period. Underneath the pass for marlon brown. The 65 brown takes the ball out to the 35 yard line for a first down. Cris when you get linebackers that like to chase tight ends and bang them around a little bit, sometimes you can catch them with those underneath rouds. That time this is exactly what happened. Dallas clark, the guy went by him. Al the 34 going down. Incomplete. Dennis smith. It will be second and ten. Cris tony has had a good game. Dominique rodgerscromartie has been sfe nominal. He tore him up. Tonight he has had answers all night. Al downfield, incomplete. Brandon stokely trying to get through but couldnt. Third down. Cris basically now joe flacco only has three Wide Receivers to deal with. He looked tired on that one. He was unable to hit that extra gear. Its stokely, marlon brown and theyre trying to go no huddle. Al third and 10. Sacked. Joe flacco calling for action. Al with the clock winding down, that will take us to the end of the quarter where the Denver Broncos outscore the ravens 210. At the end of three its 3517. We went out and asked people a simple question how old is the oldest person youve known . We gave people a sticker and had them show us. We learned a lot of us have known someone whos lived well into their 90s. And thats a great thing. But even though were living longer, one thing that hasnt changed much is the official retirement age. The question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. Al high above the Colorado State capitol. Tonights ariel coverage brought to you by geico. Looking down at denver on this thursday night. Al michaels, cris collinsworth, michele tafoya. 3517 denver. Start with a punt. Sam koch. Welker is the intended receiver. This time he hauls it in at the 17 yard line and welker out past the 40 and his own man helps to knock them down as he crosses the 45 yard line. Robinson running into them. Cris a lot of great plays tonight for Peyton Manning and company. Heres the biggest play of the night, dropped pass by wes welker. Would have sent on the punt team if it was challenged. Demaryius thomas brought it in. Wonder what happened to that communication. Corey graham imimmediately went to the bench. Not that coaches play heed to play e playe players. Cris absolutely. Al false start. Referee false start, number 83, offense. 5 yard penalty. Cris wes welkers been in the news a lot. Sometimes the no huddle and the pace of Peyton Manning. On that one there was time. There was an opportunity. Al right. Pistol first and 15. And to the outside to welker again. Assisting. Ihedigbo making a tackle on the play. Welker with two touchdowns tonight and hes caught 9 passes for 67 yards. Cris it looks dangerous. It looks like one of those years where Julius Thomas plays like hes playing, wes welker working inside, lots of stuff. Al second and nine. Over the middle and it will be caught by eric decker who loses the ball and fortunately for denver, they retain possession. Knocked away by jimmy smith. Cris the big guy, Orlando Franklin working against elvis dumervil. Reflex from wrestling or something. Eric decker got away with the ball bouncing the right way for you. Al manning going for the score for welker. Its incomplete. Covered on the play by la darius web. Decker and demaryius thomas. Hes over 1,000 last year. You get the he almost got away with the receivers and go balk to the day of the three amigos. You need elway here. Cris what difference would it be . Now hes coming on to blitz web at the end of that play was back in the end of the end zone. You can see him say, oh, ive got to almost run back up there and do things right. Referee false start, number 65, offense, 5yard penalty. First down. Al proud of the replay. He was the head coach of miami who he tie owe when that was playing. You have to being back a long way. Al he also gave a job to him when he was in college. They gave him computer work and next thing you know hes offensive coordinator for the broncos. Coaches, theres gase, whos fatherinlaw is joe vick. Lets see who is the interim head coach. Al good football background for adam. Working on john fox. The two coordinators have the head coaching jobs. Third and nine. Manning tearing out and demaryius thomas, touchdown cris well, we talked about it earlier. You beat them up on the inside and then your outside guys get a chance. Theres no help whatsoever. Beautiful relief off the line of scrimmage. I went up to demaryius before the game. Tell me, is peyton throwing it harder and longer than last year . He said, no doubt about it. Hes been throwing them great. Al six touchdown passes. Tying a career high. Prater the extra point. What a night for peyton. What a night for the broncos who actually trail by 3 at the half. [off screen] give me a kiss [speaking mandarin] what do you think . Do you like it . [off screen] happy birthday can you see that . [speaking polish] [off screen] did he apologize . [off screen] thanks, micah [off screen] bye, guys. Bye. See ya. Oh my god every day, more people connect face to face on the iphone than any other phone. I miss you. [ male announcer ] once in a while, everything falls into perfect harmony. [ engine revs ] and you find yourself in exactly the right place at the right time. Just be sure youre in the right car when it happens. The 2014 cclass sports sedan. Power, performance and style in total alignment. Starting at 35,800. Cris that is the man right there. I knew him back in the day. Went to many a golf tournaments with him. Always the show. Boy, is he loved around here. Al sanford. He was a bronco. Bouncing baby boy. Pretty good executive. 4217, broncs. Using stereoscopic cameras. And even stop itself if it has to. The Technology May be hard to imagine. But why you would want it is not. The 2014 eclass, it doesnt just see the future, it is the future. After what you pulled at the super bowl . Its a miracle stain. A super bowl miracle. You washed it . It had a stain on it. Go, ravens. Im watching the broncos game. Somethings up. What are you doing . Got a few old jerseys off the internet for every team the ravens play. Those are nasty. Yeah, well, tide will clean these right up. But youre a niners fan. True, but if im going to cheer against the ravens all season, im going to need a few extra clean. Jerseys so childish. Ha ha. Go, broncos [ male announcer ] tide, start the season clean. That is out there on a night when it started out as 86 degrees. 75 degrees now. 33minute weather delay in the mile High Altitude taking it toll. Cris Peyton Manning taking his toll. Al incompletion. Fingertip play not make by dickson. Second down and 10. Cris well, it would not have been an easy catch by any means, but the ravens tonight have had opportunities to make great plays, great plays they made in the playoffs a year ago, and they have not been able to make them. They have had real struggles from the tight end position tonight. Its been a factor. Al pierce takes the inside handoff. Cris defensively now youve got to think this ravens defense is going, guys, at least one first down. Give me one first down so i can get a little gatorade over here so peyton cant do that 20 second thing on me. They are exhausted. I played in the no huddle offense in cincinnati. There are points in the game where you look across the line and you go, these guys are done. Im not sure they havent started to reach that point for the ravens. Al a yard shy of the first down so they still wont get that first down. Brandon stiekly makes the catch. Interesting decision. Cris youre down by 25 points. If youre going to get back into this thing, you pretty much have to take your shot right here. I agree with this. Al me too. Why not. Fourth and 1. Cris ordinarily you say the ravens, the way they play, they pick it up. The running game hasnt been that effective tonight either. Al on the clock. Theyre going to go all the way down. And baltimore will take a timeout. Timeout, fourth and 1 when we come back. Pretty snazzy phone you got there. Oh yeah, its the new gs4. I had this one about four years now. Wow. Yeah. That is vintage. 3 button doesnt work but other than that, shes a trooper. Right. I like to keep it simple. Well if you want it simple, this has an easy mode. It puts uh, only the things you use on your home screen. Makes your contacts easy to get to. I like it. Got a birthday coming up, you know. Yeah, ill get right on that. Now, for a limited time at tmobile, get the Samsung Galaxy s4 for 99. 99 down at activation. Al ravens led by 3 at the half. 15 first downs. The second half it has been entirely the broncos. 13 first downs. Now its fourth and 1 as the ravens try to keep any hope minimally alive. And instead its an interception and it will be run back for a pick six. Cris one of the most difficult backs that there is to cover in the nfl. Tre va than had no problem. Cris theyre saying touch back. Al look at this. Referee out of the back of the end zone. It is a touch back. First down, baltimore. Al youve seen this so much in the nfl and college, guys are celebrating beforehand. Meanwhile, on top of it you have Wesley Woodyard whos down at the goal line. Needs a little assistance from the longtime trainer steve antonopolous. Cris right here, you have rice. I talked about the Coverage Ability of these linebackers earlier in the game and they have to really hope that this isnt forget the touchdown at this point. Wesley woodyard is the heart and soul of the defense. That is way out. Al then it goes out of the back of the end zone as well. And so much for that pick six. Cris cris i think Wesley Woodyard was hurt going for the ball so the mistake amplified. 32 son las cusas que ciegan a al woodyard was chasing him down for the goal line. A report on him as quickly as we can. The ball on the 20 yard line. Thats one way for the ravens to get a first down. Out towards the 10. Swing it out to the right. Gets bounced out to the right after a gain of eight. Cris see if we can go back and look at right there. Woodyard tried to get it. Then the ravens oh, my goodness. Comes in and tries to get it and then gets undercut. So a huge mistake has become even larger. Al second and 2. That was a nice catch made on the outside by dickson, the tight end, for a first down. Cris the game for the broncos, Stewart Bradley was going to be the middle linebacker. Hes out with wrist surgery. Wesley woodyard is out. Al 12 years in the league. Caught, caught, caught. Flag is down. Orange shirts all over the place. And a penalty marker is down back at the 32 yard line. So clark coughs it up again after a big gain. Webster comes up with it. That was good for 28 yards and then the fumble and now the flag. Cris lets see if theres a facemask by rahim moore on the tail end of this play. Al here he comes. Cris head turns. Referee personal foul, grabbing the facemask, number 26 on the defense. 15 yards from the spot of the foul. First down. Cris finally something going right for dallas clark tonight. Al and the ravens cris hey, theyre going after paris lennon. You take an outstanding cover linebacker out of the game, things are getting a little bit strange now. Golden opportunity. Still plenty of time. Al over 11 00 to go for the ravens. Over the middle. Rice will be dragged down from behind. Nate irving. Second down. Cris now joe flacco goes into his version here of the no huddle, but with only three Wide Receivers out there, we really have an issue. As much as you want to hustle and play hard, its really hard. It really is. No other relief in sight. Al 51st pass of the night is caught by marlon brown but a flag is down. For the moment hes into the end zone but another penalty. Cris i think its off sides on the broncos presnap. Referee off sides, the penalty is declined. Touchdown. Al so it was going to be 4917 and now all of a sudden were an extra point away from 4224. Cris marlon brown, one of the few times the ravens have won one of the juan on one battles. Takes advantage. Heres the mistake. Cant get any sillier than that. Al no. That would have been a 32 point lead with 11 minutes to go. Cris your job is its not your football, its our football. You hand the ball to the official. Its ridiculous to make that kind of mistake. Al Barry Sanders and everyone will love it. Act like youve been there before. Extra point is good by tucker and its 4224. Ravens still alive.

Getting on trevathan who had salted the game away and then drops the ball at the 1 yard line. The next thing you know the ravens go 80 yards and at least kept them alive. 10 30 to go in the Fourth Quarter on Opening Night in denver, colorado. [ thinking ] ugh. Why does she pack these things . I ate one by accident last time. And we won. Its good luck. But it tastes like a dirty old tree branch. What the heck is kweeno . But this is for first place. What is that, a loofah . Its a kweeno.

Wow you are a real pc. Lets just go back to reading. Actually, dont read that. Al Peyton Manning by the time he is done, hell have just about everything. 17, 5 or more. 6 td passness a game. Thats a broncos record. If youre wondering about the nfl record, it is 7 held by five different quarterbacks, most recently joe cassidy in 1969. Hand the ball off to montee ball in a situation where peyton now might take some time off the clock and we go to michele. Michele well, an update on Wesley Woodyard he is questionable with a right ankle. I watched him getting taped up on the training table. He gave me a thumbs up and smiled. He seems to be fine. He was running around the field cutting, getting a feel for how that ankle felt. Giving everyone high fives. Hes officially questionable. Al thank you, michele. He has time to get ready for the next game. They take on the giants in the meadowlands. Second and 8. Peyton starting to use the clock. The rookie out of wisconsin to the 28 yard line, montee ball. So ball has a chance to emerge, but for the moment hes the rookie. Hillman, knowshon moreno. Magahee is gone. Sooner or later you would think he will be the ace back. Cris as soon as he learns the protections. The most important thing is protecting Peyton Manning. Thats always the thing that rookies struggle with, trying to figure out how to block. Now that theyre in this run mode at least temporarily here hes in the game. Al third and 1. Manning. Cris very interesting. Al three and out cris cris with three runs. Al with haloti gnat ngata. Cris i dont know about this. Heres haloti ngata. You start to run on this team, dont forget now, the ravens defense got a much needed rest by their offense. They come out and peyton goes three straight runs. We saw that a little bit at the end of the playoff game a year ago and it didnt work out so well then. Al sending it down to Lardarius Webb. Webb has to back up. 18 yard line. Cuts it back. Tackled at the 31 with 8 08 to play in the fourth. You go back to the injuries tonight for the ravens. This is jones calling for the fair catch getting run into by his own man. Be then youve got oher, the right tackle getting rolled up on by his own man,ian da. Hes out. The rookie, rick wagner, is in there. Now the Baltimore Ravens, woodyard is back in the game. Tre vai than is in the game. Cris now you have to challenge woodyard. You have to see where he is. Al goes. Caught. 35 yard line. Dallas clark. If baltimore won this game, that would be the alltime capper. That would be the capper. Cris theyd never recover around here. Remember, he is the signal caller. He is the cornerback on the defense. It looks like they might be going into a little more zone. Well see if that continues. Al halfway through the Fourth Quarter. The safety valve is pierce, but its behind him. Third down and 6. Cris pretty good work out of robert aer. One sack already. No von miller. Other guys have to step up. That time got good pressure against brian mckinney. He needs to be big. Al flacco airing it outgoing deep and its onehanded and caught by torrey smith on a big third down conversion all the way down to the denver 29 yard line. 34 yards over tony carter on flaccos 54th pass of the game. Cris ill tell you, i thought this was pass interference. That should have been pass interference anyway. A tremendous catch by torrey smith with one hand. Al four man rush. Flacco breaks a tackle. Hes going to get the first down. It will be first down inside the 20 yard line. Cris all of a sudden its starting to work the other way
