If you're staying home for the Broncos, they play the Panthers (3-4) at in Charlotte in Week 9. Denver (6-2) is tied for the longest active winning streak in the NFL and is going for its fifth in a row.

The offense just had its two best games of 2026, scoring 30 and 28 points. Carolina's defense ranks 28th in points allowed, and the team parted ways with its defensive coordinator after giving up 70 points in two weeks.

  • Kickoff: 11 a.m. MST today on CBS
  • Tickets: from $96.80 on Ticketmaster, $92 on SeatGeek
  • Panthers without: Jaelan Phillips, Bobby Okereke and Will Lee

Denver's defense has 74 combined sacks and quarterback hits through Week 8, which The 33rd Team says leads the NFL by a wide margin. The Panthers are a wild card: KDVR points to their opener, when they scored 37 and still lost 59-37 to the Bears.

Nuggets

Nuggets' bench carries them past the Pacers in Mexico City after a 27-point lead shrinks

For a while, the Nuggets had a game that looked over by halftime. Then Indiana got hot, and Jamal Murray's step-back 3 from 29 feet made it 102-90 with 8:33 left and quieted the run. Denver held on Saturday at .

Eleven Nuggets played, and the reserves scored 43 points. Spencer Jones, back from a hamstring injury, scored 13 on 5-of-6 shooting. Mile High Sports says the bench had a big moment in the second quarter, and Denver won that quarter 37-22.
