In a game that tested the San Diego Chargers’ propensity for blowing games late, costly mistakes from the Denver Broncos (12 penalties and two fumbles) eventually plagued the Orange & Blue as they went on to lose in San Diego by a score of 21-13.
The Broncos started off another game on their back heels, for the fifth time in 2016, the defense allowed a score on their opening drive, as Philip Rivers found Hunter Henry for a five-yard completion on a long, methodical drive.
San Diego was on the field 17 of the opening 19 minutes and in doing so somewhat subdued the Broncos defense by taking a 10-0 lead.
