griffith explains, they have a dual on defense that is similar to a couple of nba legends, according to von miller. >> it's pretty apparent what you are going to get out of von miller on the football field. off the field you never quite know what will come out of his mouth or who he compares himself too. >> it's like steve nash. i really don't know, we just get each other. i do get >> so stick with the comparison here. it kind of makes sense. von on the outside and on the emergence of the big bend in the middle, kurt legacy. -- on the quick guy and shooting the three and he is doing the dirty work. he's looking good doing it. >> between the two, the dual has nine and a half sacks. that's just four games which is >> it's great to see them get a lot of sacks. he watch some of our previous games an eye on the top of these rate there on top of me. about ten of my sacks that i have gotten i have stolen from derek. it's been a great partnership, especially for me. >> you have to give it credit to john elway. he did remember -- you may -- it is that time of year again. playoff baseball. the

no one knows that any better than sports director nick griffith who joins us now from mile high. that broncos defense came up huge today. p defensively or point are going to win a lot of games for mac no doubt about it. they did it once again. fans sitting patiently in the fourth quarter waiting for the defense to strike. they delivered twice. one was in a key to lead in his ninth nfl career pick six ties them for fourth all-time. it's his fifth and a broncos uniform. in a broncos uniform. that is a franchise record not too shabby. to close down the game, bond miller scoop von miller scooped it up and takes it into the end all stands with all the hands chanting mvp mvp as he tossed up a couple of these gloves. a qualified as broncos continue to win games getting it done with the defense. as you mentioned, the offense still has a ways to go. still within striking distance a couple of times again. the drives spotter and making really bad quick pics as well. more so than that broncos did get it done and they are two and oh. >> i thought also the offense en did a really nice job. unf

the houses on the corner at the saratoga police now, the lexus sport zone with nick griffith. trevor simeon. i feel confident. we'll see what happens. >> an open receiver, simeon throws. touchdown denver. i've had a blast to tell you the truth. >> there was more than decent showing by trevor simeon and preseason game number three this weekend. the second-year player will start for the defending super bowl champs in ten days versus carolina to open up the season. he broke the team nick, it remains to be seen whether history will be on the site of trevor simeon, but it certainly hasn't been on the side of former northwestern university quarterbacks as simeon will be graham in 1955. >> so, it's the biggest day of his life, i mean the starting quarterback of the defending super bowl champions. tough to make it about me right now. i think we have a great offense. don't think that's going to be too much of an issue. that this guys mindsets, his calm on the field belying his inexperience. ,, cool and collected. sometimes you know i feel like everything is about destiny and it is this

nick griffith, fox 31. bruce, back to you. >> let's get into the running back situation because of that cj anderson today ran the ball hard. eleven times for 50 yards. he showed some really nice pop and then ronnie hillman, who is a guy who is starting to get. a little bit and that broncos backfield and capri been said in moved ahead of him in the pecking order. the room for 45 yards and a and in the running game he had the longest pop from the line of scrimmage at the 21 yards. interesting with the place election tonight. thirty passes and 30 runs. a conventional winstone has it. the broncos will be much more of a running football team when they get into the regular season. however, so far here in the preseason they have been a passing team. thirty passes and0 tonight. kind of interesting. simeon with a slow start but a strong finish. he was very good in the second quarter and the question becomes offense of lee as we await gary kubiak taking the podium at mile high stadium. the question very simply is how

griffith. i feel better that i did it at the end of the last season. probably playing 70 percent in the super bowl. a little bit effective but now i feel like i'm 94 percent. i get up there out there and play little bit. he wears number 94, comparison tonight he 4 percent healthy. back as he continues to recover recent back injury. meanwhile the rest of the broncos get set for the most important preseason game of the year. and not that it's all that important but saturday against the rams, the la rams, you should at least be the most telling but again, returning today but likely game action until week one against carolina. the ongoing quarterback competition, did not flow after but still will get to start on saturday reconfirmed by gary kubiak. a preseason game but little regular-season feel to it. preparation is that way. you know, we will play more than we play, definitely those type of things, but what is the magnitude compared to a regular-season game? i don't know how to gauge that. the ke

griffith. the rockies tonight and i will try to spend this is possible. game three against the brewers but check in seven back in the wild-card magic likely not to make the playoffs this season the getting closer, right? baby steps in milwaukie game 2 miller park, the rockies 2-0 but third inning, at the plate, the future see you later, three run shot, lead leaking pretty one home run rockies take the lead 3-to. john gray on the mound, into the season and the record goes chris carter the fourth for strikeout number 138 of the year. the rookie record and with that said the game looking pretty 4-2 handed over to shaky bullpen there goes the leak. combine to give up three runs, caps off by this to run triple by her name perez, the rockies flow another one final score the broncos now preseason but all over the preseason games, the most important. the most telling and the closest in terms of playing time in preparation to the real thing. the los angeles rams saturday, 16 days away from hosting the p

the house is located at the corner of east and >> now, the lexus sports zone with nick griffith fred. >> so while all the nfl and really most all broncos country is still freaking out about not having a starting quarterback right now head coach gary kubiak seen today he is kind of expecting this the whole time. we told you earlier in the newscast from your simian will once again get the start and preseason game number three saturday versus the rams, but that doesn't necessarily mean he will be the guy to start the regular season against the weeks. both simeon and sanchez still trying to review and improve from saturday's performances in which both guys had nice moments, but as you see here some really ugly turnovers. right now the race is still too close to call and again that does not surprise the head coach one bit. >> no, i expected it. i expected it. we've got three quarterbacks, two of which are weren't on this team last year and one that's never played well, he is one regular-season snap. one regular-season snap so i knew this would take some time and i think as a credit to them

bruce hurdle, kami carmen, and nick griffith will be there from noon-2. a rare sight in italy. >> and it's caught on camera. >> baby turtles headed out to this amazing journey with these little guys. >> a government agency has banned its employees from playing pok?mon go. a consumer alert tonight paired restaurant chain ruby tuesdays has plans to close 100 locations for the company says the underperforming stores will be shut down by the end of the year. ruby tuesday says when possible displaced of employees will be offered positions at nearby locations. ruby tuesday says it has a total of 724 locations. >> this story may come as a relief. just the pentagon is banning leaders sent out a memo reminding staff the app is not approved for use on its devices paired the memo said spies could use the game to pinpoint the locations of sensitive facilities were secrets are stored. employees can still play the game on their personal phones, but the pentagon asked them to use sound judgment when they do and to play away from work. >> check out this cute video. sever

paxton which looking per our own nick griffith is live in chicago tonight. nick's guys have to be happy in the locker room it really did not miss a beat from the carryover from the super bowl some seven months ago. it's all the same, writing and spirit. we asked gary kubiak the big question about the cornerback and he said his goal was to come out and how to throw the football around he and simeon. sanchez again the touchdown as well as interception. his past rating rating-we talked to trevor outward the one thing he said he wished he could have gotten done at the end was punched the bowl >> i want to get down there in finish. finish a couple of those drives. there are a few things that could have done differently. >> homecoming game for him for some sorts in northwestern graduates and has an family and friends here in the standard i also asked him about mark sanchez has first drive and was interested in his first said it was difficult but challenging that he looks forward to as he continues to give people this starting job. still three present preseason tea

nick griffith was therefore offered he joins us now from soldier field in chicago. >> are working hard in chicago is hot out there. [laughter] i'm here. if you toss it to me it's a hot muggy night in chicago for there's no separation. mark sanchez got the start and he denied doing anything to hand the keys to the car over to trevor simeon although trevor played pretty well been what t did with a 76-yard drive most of poorly resulted in a 32-yard touchdown pass to demaryius thomas sets are soft out important for us to score on a first drive not as a fuel goal but go down and get six points. center there on third down and taken ahead. >> is nice to pop up from a hit like this would they never feel good but they feel better when your guy standing in the enzo very confident mark sanchez after the first quarter performance or again, gary kubiak still not willing to lean one way or another as to which quarterback he's going to pick for the starting job coming up in a little over a month. >> can't wait for that. a lot of fans showing off their broncos gear but their blue and orange today. che
