NFL/BRONCOS
San Diego, CA–The Denver Broncos were being read their last rites after a disastrous 1st half in San Diego last night. The mistake-prone Broncos went in to the locker room at the break, down 24 to nothing then came to life in the second half scoring 35 unanswered points. Broncos’ quarterback Peyton Manning finished the game 24 of 30 for 309 yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interception. He completed 13 of 14 during the stunning second half comeback while the defense frustrated Chargers QB Phillip Rivers during the final 30 minutes. Rivers threw four interceptions, two for touchdowns and fumbled twice. The Broncos are now 3 and 3 going in to the bye week and tied with the Chargers for the AFC West lead. The Broncos are back in action against Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints, Sunday night, October 28th at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
