A toast to my Chargers. They were DOA only a few weeks ago....
The Chargers (7-3) have won five straight and the Broncos (6-4) have dropped four in a row, turning the division race upside-down. Just five weeks ago, the Chargers trailed the Broncos by 3½ games.
The balance of power in the AFC West couldn’t have shifted in a more dramatic fashion.
Rivers was a crisp 17 for 22 and he led San Diego to scores on seven of 10 drives. Nate Kaeding kicked four field goals and the Chargers also recovered an onside kick, recorded three sacks and forced three turnovers.
The Broncos? They were flagged nine times to San Diego’s one. And Marcus Thomas blocked an extra point in the final minute.
Otherwise, all San Diego.
They may not be a dominant team. But winning is fun and they have given me a ton of great games over the last 6 years. I saw a great stat the other day that the Chargers are 40-5 in games played after November 1 since 2004...amazing!!
