DENVER (AP) – The Denver Broncos took turns picking off and pummeling Philip Rivers in a 27-19 win over the Chargers. Denver picked off Rivers three times and and made two stands in the closing minutes to preserve the win.
Brady Roby’s 51-yard touchdown return in the second quarter put the Broncos ahead to stay. It came while Denver defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was run over by Chargers running back Melvin Gordon on the sideline.
The 69-year-old Phillips was alert and moving his arms and legs as he was strapped to a backboard and carted off the field.
