Broncos take lead against Chargers

True to form and just what the Broncos needed Phillip Rivers quarterback for the Chjargers throws an interception and Manning gets the ball back.

And Peyton Manning does what he does best and gets the ball to a reciever and they got another touchdown. The score is now denver Broncos 28 to San Diego Cargers 24.

Penalties abound for Broncos against Chargers

Well Manning was put into a must do must convert 3rd down and 1 situation. First they have a false start and then the Broncos get nailed for a holding call and now it is 3rd and 16.

Manning under pressure still converts the third down and they advance the chains.

Under heavy pressure Manning is hitting home on his throws and his team is using every ounce of what is inside of them with second effort and they get into the end zone again. We now have a 3 point game.

Broncos earn chance to shorten point deficit

Well it was time for the Broncos defense to hold the Chargers back or force a turnover. And true to form they do manage to do just that and hold the Chargers to 3 and out.

This is exactly what Manning needs as he gets the ball back with about 2 and a half minutes left in the 3rd quarter. He has plenty of time.

The score is still 4 Chargers to 14 Broncos.

A failed pass and fumble and the Broncos scoop it up and score. The Denever Broncos have a different game ahead of them now. The score is Denver 14 to San Diego 24.

Denver starts a comeback vs San Diego

The first drive of the second half certainly is the Broncos bets drive. They did not panic, took their time and moved the ball well and get the touchdown.

In order for Manning to have a comeback it will be up the the Broncos defense to get the ball back into Manning’s hands. Score is 7 Denver 24 Sand Diego.

But Rivers and the rest of the Charger offense had a decent first half.

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 vs Denver half time

The last thing the Broncos needed to do was make any more mistakes heading into half time. But they do and lose yards on a penalty and the Chargers could actually score again before the half.

And the Chargers are able tyo turn the drive into a touchdown so it looks like they will take a 24 point lead into the locker room at the half.

The half time score is Denver Broncos 0 to San Diego Chargers 24.

San Diego scores again against Denver

We have seen a number of mistakes now on both sides. The latest is a ball that was litterally taken out of the Chargers hands as he caught the ball giving the Broncos an opportunity for a drive to put points on the board.

And a pass to Decker gets them around the 45 yard line and a first down. And then suddenly Manning throws an interception and runs it in for a touchdown and suddenly the Chargers have a nice lead as we move into the last part of the 2nd quarter.

Score is San Diego Chargers 17 to Denver Broncos 0.

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.

San Diego recovers 2nd fumble from punt

I can’t believe what just happened. The second punt and the second time the ball is fumbled on a return.

Rivers gets another shot at scoring and he makes a pass to Robert Meachem and they score. This gives the Chargers an early lead after two really huge mistakes by the Broncos.
