DENVER -- After the tumultuous, franchise-shifting week that was, the Denver Broncos, with quarterback Russell Wilson benched, relied on Jarrett Stidham, who did just enough Sunday in leading the club to a 16-9 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in Empower Field at Mile High.

Broncos coach Sean Payton shocked many this past Wednesday, including his players, when he benched Wilson in search of a "spark'' in the team's offense and moved Stidham in as the starter. Sunday was Stidham's third career start in his four years in the league.
