Denver 34 – San Diego 23
Wow special teams were fun tonight. Several things jump out right away – 1.) Denver might just be the number one team in the AFC. They turned up the heat late in the game, and QB Phillip Rivers was dashed upon the rocks; and the tide of the game turned. 2.) Offensively, they can move the ball well, and even rip up large chunks of yardage when they have to. 3.) San Diego’s O-Line really struggled after the first quarter. 4.) Norv Turner called a poor game, including removing LT from the line up on a goal line stand after Tomlinson was really on. The result – 3 points instead of 7.  5.) The SD defense is not only soft, and poorly coached, but they wear out easily. Ron Riveria is not doing a good job as the Chargers D-Coordinator. I am not sure if the Chargers even make the playoffs this year. If this happens major changes will occur on the coaching staff and roster. (Good bye Sean Merriman). As for Denver all we can say is – Can they beat New Orleans in February?
