More on the game:

Though I hate to do this, I promised so, here's a game recap:

Cutler had 172 yards a TD, and a pick, Steve Smith played great and we got killed. Happy? I would go though the whole thing but, it's a waste of time. Because you would not get it, plus the point is we lost.

Here's from nfl.com gamecenter:
"It was over when ... Broncos kicker Matt Prater narrowly missed a 47-yard field goal try late in the third quarter. Denver never got back into scoring position as the Panthers used a lethal combination of running and defense to get the win and close in on the NFC South title. The Broncos lost a chance to win the AFC West."
