To McCoy’s relief, Chargers finally find way to finish

The Broncos (4-2) dropped their second consecutive game as they struggled on offense throughout the game.

Denver’s 15 game road winning streak in the AFC West is over and San Diego is relevant again.

After the Chargers moved 21-3 ahead on a safety early in the fourth, Siemian hit Bennie Fowler for a five-yard scoring reception midway through the quarter to draw the Broncos within 11 points.

The Chargers held on for a 21-13 victory that likely saved head coach Mike McCoy’s job for now.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is expected to be “fine” after Thursday night’s hip injury. “Especially beating a good football team in front of are home fans”.

Of course, these being the Chargers (2-4), they still extended nervous time right down to the final gun.

Denver cut the lead to 21-13 on a field goal with 27 seconds remaining, then recovered an onside kick.

The Broncos will say they lost two in a row a year ago – twice – on the way to a Super Bowl.

The Chargers held a 10-3 halftime lead with Denver’s only points coming after recovering a muffed punt at the Chargers 11-yard line. Brandon McManus kicked a 29-yard field goal. I hope this isn’t a lost season, because if McCoy doesn’t change his philosophy, the Chargers will look back and regret wasting a talented roster.

The Chargers entered the fourth quarter of Thursday night’s game with a 16-point lead.

The Chargers took a step toward salvaging their season, but still have plenty of room for improvement.

“It felt a little bit more like an escape the way the game ended”, Rivers said. Aside from a few late game mishaps this team played a complete game on offense, defense, and special teams.

If they let McCoy go, I think the Chargers should pursue New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. He activated some wild plays, which I call “DeCamillis Ball”. But they have a system in place, and I know a lot of coaches on their staff.Prior to the game, the Super Bowl 50 winners were undefeated, and they have been so dating back December of 2015. The veteran quarterback passed Dan Fouts to become the all-time leading passer in Chargers history early in the game, and continued to shine in what is shaping up to be one of his best individual seasons yet. I was trying to help a friend, help a coach and help win a game. The Rams need to take care of the football if they want to win this game. Their next two games are at Atlanta and at Denver. Now, he will be returning to a team that has lost two straight games, and hopefully hasn’t lost its identity. Kubiak was later diagnosed with a complex migraine and was ordered by doctors to sit out the week.

“Yeah, that came up”, DeCamillis said “. “Hopefully we can get two in a row now”. Sporting their immaculate all blue uniform, they certainly lived up to the old adage “look good feel good play good”.

Rivers’ 5-yard touchdown pass to tight end Hunter Henry at the end of the game’s opening possession was the 293 of his career – ninth on the NFL’s career list. The Falcons last Sunday and the Chargers on Thursday had success getting the football to tight ends and running backs, choosing not to test cornerbacks Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr.
