This is one of the great finishes to a game you’re likely to see. No matter who wins it.
The Broncos D steps up when needed and forces two incomplete passes to make it 3rd and 10. The Chargers then go underneath but the Broncos aren’t fooled, they get the stop and force the punt.

FIELD GOAL MISSED
Score Broncos 24 – Chargers 21. 4:07 on the clock. Chargers ball. Wow.

This game has is going at a frantic pace as the Chargers D has caught fire. They’ve just sacked Siemian twice in a row to take them to the edge of field goal range.

Siemian finds Green deep for a 44 yard pass and is hit by Ingram in the backfield. The Penalty extends the gain another 15 yards to the Chargers 31 yard line.

TOUCHDOWN CHARGERS Rivers finds Benjamin streaking into the back of the endzone. They have 14 points of 2 turnovers and it really is game on.
Broncos 24 – 21 Chargers

FUMBLE Kory Toomer jams the ball lose from Jamaal Charles and Hayward recovers and returns it to the Denver 38. If you wanted to script comebacks this is how you’d do it. Chargers ball.

Keenan Allen is flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct and the resulting kick off is taken from 15 yards back. Latimer gets a good 36 yard return out to Denver’s 28 yard line. Stupid mistakes when you have a mountain to climb.

TOUCHDOWN CHARGERS Rivers with a short pass to Keenan Allen for their second touchdown of the night. There’s 8:10 to play but is that enough time for the Chargers to make a comeback?
Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers: NFL live scores, blog
It stands
10:37 left to play Denver 24 – Los Angeles 7
Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers: NFL live scores, blog
INTERCEPTION – Siemanian tosses the pass to Fowler who is smothered by the defender and the ball is tipped up to Adrian Phillips and the Chargers have the ball back. Pending review
It should stand though and the Chargers have the ball at the 47. Game on?
Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers: NFL live scores, blog
The Charger’s line fails and Gordon is brought down in the backfield as Davis flies through basically untouched to make the tackle. The Broncos take over on downs.
There’s 11.58 to play but even if they get a stop early it’s hard to see Los Angeles getting back into this game. I wonder if the good people of San Diego are enjoying their Monday night?
Denver 24 – Los Angeles 7

Yeah that’s quite the story.
Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers: NFL live scores, blog
Chargers call a time out as they look at going for it on 4th and 1. If they’re not successful you’d have to think that this ball game is going to be a wrap. There’s enough time for a comeback but not with how the Chargers are playing and not with how this Denver defence has swarmed to the ball all night.
Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers: NFL live scores, blog
Excellent play. Had to run 100 yards to make 20 but did it perfectly.

3rd and Goal at the end of the Quarter and the Chargers get the stop. Huge play but the Broncos extend the score with a field goal.
SCORE: Denver 24 – Chargers 7.

After an 11 play drive Siemian has Denver down on the 1 yard play. 1st and Goal. 1:23 left in the 3rd.
Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers: NFL live scores, blog
Siemian has done well today. His completion percentage (16/24) doesn’t pop out from the stat sheet and neither does his passing yards (175) but he’s stepped up with timely plays on a number of occasions and is putting on a solid performance. He’s certainly outplayed his opposite number.
Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers: NFL live scores, blog
They have been, but I think they have the pieces there still and I think they’ll grow into something good. But you’re right, for now, Denver D has/is better.
Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers: NFL live scores, blog
SACK Bosa finally breaks through and sacks Siemian for a los of 9 yards. 2 and 19 at halfway.
That’s followed up with a brilliant play by Sanders. Takes stop route all the way back across the field to get the first down.
The Chargers can’t get a break. Or can’t take one.

If anything I won’t to revise my criticism about the Broncos O-line. They’ve done better than expected.
Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers: NFL live scores, blog
Meh, it was meant more as a complement for the Chargers rather than an attack on Denver. Denver has definitely played better tonight, but it’s a long season. Plus I’ve always thought that the Chargers O-line was an issue.
Also I think the Denver D has a weak point when it comes to stopping the run. I expect them to have trouble with both the Raiders and the Chiefs.

9:14 left in the 3rd quarter.
The Broncos force a 3 and out after the sack and are forced to punt it away. The punt is returned to the 20 yard line.

Not a great start. Tackle Okung gets beat on the blind side by Shaq Barret and SACKS Rivers.
Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers: NFL live scores, blog
There’s nothing more fun than a fired up Phil Rivers. So if he’s still pissed about that interception this next drive should be fun. Either way we need to see something from this offence which simply hasn’t produced enough in this game.
The kickoff is touched back and Phil Rivers takes over at the 25.
Denver Broncos vs Los Angeles Chargers: NFL live scores, blog
Chargers down the punt at the 15 yard line. Siemian is coming out with the ball, but after the way this Chargers D is playing that might not be a good thing for the Broncos.
