After last week’s ping pong match between the Chargers and the Saints (who were 0-4 leading up to the game) ended in a disappointing loss, you’d think the Chargers would step it up a little.  Rivers had even commented after last week’s game “But we can grow so much from this.”  If he did learn anything, you wouldn’t have known it by how he played last night.

And Peyton Manning gets credit for the biggest comeback of his career- down 24-0 at the half- when essentially it was his defense that won the game.  The Chargers steamrolled the Broncos the first half and then somehow managed to get brain damage during their break, came back in the 3rd and played the exact opposite.  Rivers threw some beautiful passes but had forgotten what color his team was wearing.  I’ve never seen a box score look so divided- all Bolts the first half and all Broncos the 2nd half.  And now, a team that should be 5-1 (the loss to the undefeated Falcons was acceptable, the 27-3 score not so much), a team that statistically won last night’s game, is tied for the AFC West.  Finally, a televised game and this is how you treat the fans!!
