Latest updates about Broncos vs Chargers:-The Chargers couldn’t hold a second-half lead against the undefeated Broncos and dropped a 34-23 decision to their division rivals on Monday Night Football.
Despite giving up two touchdowns in the return game Monday night, the Chargers built a 23-17 third-quarter lead over the Broncos before two second-half touchdown passes by Kyle Orton allowed Denver to escape with a 34-23 victory in a key AFC West showdown.

“I thought our guys came out and had a lot of energy and I thought we played awfully well early,” Head Coach Norv Turner said. “It doesn’t matter who you’re playing, what you’re playing, you give up two big returns for touchdowns like we did on the punt and kickoff, it makes it tough.”

After both teams punted on their opening drives of the night, the Chargers used long passes of 18 and 20 yards to Malcom Floyd and a 25-yard reception by LaDainian Tomlinson to advance all the way to the Denver two yard line. The drive stalled, however, and the Chargers were forced to settle for a 20-yard Nate Kaeding field goal.

But Denver answered immediately as the typically astute Chargers’ special teams gave up a 93-yard touchdown return to Eddie Royal on the ensuing kickoff to put the Broncos up 7-3.
