More On The Game:

The Broncos game into week six 5-0, and they head into the bye 7-0! After a great second half and special teams performance on Monday Night. Leader Brian Dawkins went down early, but he came back after half time, and helped the defense that has not allowed any points in the fourth quarter this year! The Chargers only converted 2 of 11 third downs, and we sacked Rivers five times! Rivers was hot early on, passing for a TD to Vincent Jackson, but Doom and company stopped that. Elvis Dumervil had 2 sacks, and a forced fumble, he leads the NFL with 10 sacks. (Miami Pro Bowl.) Another Miami bound Bronco is Eddie Royal, doing something amazing on National TV could just get you to a Pro Bowl, but doing it twice, you're almost a lock-in. The Chargers fumbled 4 times (3 of the fumbles were courtesy of Phillip) and L.T. only had 70 yards. The defense stopped Tomlinson early, but he did have one or two 10-15 yard runs in the second half, but it didn't amount to much. At first our offense was pretty poor, not getting much done. But it didn't need to be as Royal kept us in the game early with a 93-yard kickoff return for a TD after a Charger field goal. Later he ran a punt back for a score. Our backs were disappointing, especially Knowshon Moreno. Knowshon ran 18 times and only got 44 yards. But in the second half Kyle Orton and the Broncos offense came alive. We've started to use Tight End Tony Scheffler as a Wide Receiver. And that worked with great success. Tony had 6 catches 101 yards, and a touchdown. Brandon Marshall was also was productive. Brandon Stokley also had a good game after a quiet game last week. Stokley had 3 catches for 24 yards and a score. At times our secondary looked a little shaky, and our special teams allowed a punt return for a score by Darren Sproles. But hey it was Darren Sproles, so I'm not to concerned about that. Overall it was a good game by the Broncos. Heading into the bye the Broncos sit high atop the AFC West. It looks like good things are in store for the Broncos this year. Go Broncos!!!

The Chargers have always had trouble with Eddie Royal (since his rookie year). His two-point conversion after his score last year:

Follow Eddie on twitter, @eddieroyal19! The Chargers still have trouble with him.Last time we beat the Chargers in San Diego was 2005, that year we won the division. Also, that year we had a stand out defense. 2005 Game:
