Broncos players and coach Vic Fangio pointed to cornerback Bryce Callahan’s end zone interception and receiver DaeSean Hamilton’s third-and-8 reception as the sparks that produced a 31-30 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.

But Atlanta coach Raheem Morris pointed to running back Phillip Lindsay’s 55-yard touchdown run.

“(Lindsay) got it sent off — they were down 24-3 and Lindsay broke out a big run,” Morris said in a conference call Wednesday with Denver media. “He’s kind of the heartbeat of the team. … I’ve got a lot of respect for him and what he does.
