Can Peyton Manning bring team back against Broncos
We have seen Peyton Manning start the second half in the hole before and bring the team back. Can he do it again against the Chargers?
He certainly has the talent and knows it can be done and he knows he has done it before and my guess is he currently is in the locker room thinking he is going to do it tonight.
I would just love to see it happen. I often feel good about rooting for the underdog, and I really enjoy to see quarterbacks pull off come-backs also. It’s fun to watch.

San Diego Chargers vs Denver Broncos week 6
Although Manning does get one first down, he just can’t get everything working together well and get stopped and the Broncos have to punt.
The defense of the Denver Broncos has been doing a very successful job of stopping the Chargers in their drives.
A few running plays and they get about 8 yards, then a nice pass by Rivers and they are at mid field. Then another pass to Antonio Gates and they get another 23 yards.
The Chargers are once again well within striking distance and are vying for the end zone. They have the ball at the 33 with 3rd and 16. Then with a penalty they are losing ground. They do not get the first down and that ends the first quarter. Chargers still have the lead 10 to 0.
