Chargers 35 - Broncos 27
As a football fan, that was one fantastic game. As a Broncos fan you hate to lose one like that.
Look at it this way, other than that opening game loss to the Rams, the Broncos have lost two games to teams with a total of 3 losses between them. You can argue that the Colts and Charger are both amont the top 3 or 4 teams in football. Yeah, you want to come away with at least one of those games with a win, but it doesn't always happen.
The offense was a little stagnant again tonight. Javon Walker wasn't involved nearly enough at meaningful times in the game. Jake Plummer has looked like Jake Plummer has looked all year, up and down. At times Plummer looked great, but at the very least he didn't make the huge mistake that have plagued him his whole career.
A bright spot of offense was the running game. Mike Bell had a nice game and Damien Nash was explosive running for 52 yards on 10 carries. This in a game when leading rusher Tatum Bell was innactive. Geez the Broncos can run the ball, and against a pretty good San Diego defense.
The Chargers offens is amazing, but the Broncos 'contained' Tomlinson as much as anyone has recently. The 102 yards rushing are something I expected. I could do without LT's 4 touchdowns. He is, in my estimation, the best player in the NFL. He stepped it up against a great Broncos D. That's what great players do.
Just 3 days off before the Chiefs on Thanksgiving. The team needs to put this one behind them and focus on Kansas City.
