DENVER (AP) -- How so much can change in such little time.
The Broncos and Chargers aren't exactly the same teams that met in San Diego on Oct. 13 when Denver's 15-game divisional road winning streak skidded to a halt in a 21-13 loss that snapped the Chargers out of a 10-game AFC West funk.
Following with a win at Atlanta, the Chargers (3-4) have gone from stagger to swagger, saving coach Mike McCoy's hide and earning the chance to make the season's second half much more meaningful.
''We've won two in a row but this is what we expected, what we should have done in some of those earlier games,'' Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said.
