| (or two to be exact). It ended up costing the Chargers a win.With the Broncos out of timeouts at the two-minute warning Royce Freeman Jersey , the Chargers faced a third down at the Denver 48. Rivers threw the ball away, burning only two seconds off the clock. It gave Denver just enough time — 1:58 — to drive from its own 8 to the Los Angeles 16, where Brandon McManus kicked a 34-yard field goal on the final play. The Broncos somehow, someway pulled out an improbable 23-22 upset of the Chargers.It ended the Chargers’ six-game winning streak and dropped them another half game behind the Chiefs, who play the Rams on Monday night. The Chargers are 7-3. The Broncos, who had lost six of their past seven before Sunday, improved to 4-6.The Broncos overcame a questionable offensive pass interference penalty on Tim Patrick in their seven-play, 76-yard winning drive. It resulted in a 21-yard difference, negating an 11-yard catch with a 10-yard penalty with only 37 seconds left.But Case Keenum found Courtland Sutton for a 30-yard gain to the Chargers 16 with the clock running. Keenum spiked the ball with three seconds remaining, so if Rivers had not thrown an incompletion, the Broncos likely would have run out of time.As it was, the Chargers could have blown out the Broncos. But they settled for three field goals, missed an extra point and threw two interceptions. Despite gaining 479 yards, the Chargers scored only 22 points.Rivers, who entered the game as an MVP candidate, went 28-of-43 for 401 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.Keenum went 19-for-32 for 205 yards Courtland Sutton Jersey , and Broncos running backs Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman combined for 102 rushing yards and three touchdowns. Sutton caught three passes for 78 yards.Von Miller had a sack, an interception he returned 42 yards to set up a touchdown, a pass defensed and a tackle. Bradley Chubb also had a sack.Joey Bosa had a tackle and a quarterback hit in his 2018 debut. Drew Lock was 2 years old when John Elway retired, but the Missouri quarterback has a deep appreciation for what the Broncos General Manager accomplished as a player.Elway became a first-ballot Hall of Famer, finishing his playing career as one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.Lock met with Elway during a pre-draft visit to the Broncos’ team facility.“It was pretty unique,” Lock said on Chris Simms Unbuttoned. “It just came full circle where he played ball, he got recruited by the Broncos, played for the Broncos and did what he did there which was nothing short of outstanding. Now, he’s a part of that staff, trying to find another quarterback. For me to be up for that, for him to spend time with me sitting down watching film and having me install a play, just to have it come full circle where one of the better quarterbacks of all-time is now wanting me to play quarterback for him possibly, it was pretty cool.”The Broncos traded for Joe Flacco, the team’s fifth starter since Peyton Manning retired after the 2015 season, but they still could draft a quarterback with their first choice. |
