San Diego Chargers vs. Denver Broncos: Live Score, Video and Analysis
Once again, Tim Tebow somehow led his team to a comeback victory. Matt Prater kicked a 37-yard field goal with 33 seconds remaining in sudden death overtime to give the Broncos their fourth straight win.
Just minutes before Prater's game-winning field goal, it appeared that Nick Novak would have a chance at a makable field goal to win the game. However, Mike Tolbert was dropped for a four-yard loss, which forced Novak to take his attempt from 53 yards instead of 49 yards.
Novak ended up pushing his field goal attempt wide right, allowing Tebow to work his magic one more time.

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
On their last drive of the game, the Broncos' ground game picked up. Tebow ran for 12 yards on an option read, which was his longest run of the game. McGahee followed up the play with a 24-yard run of his own, which was also his longest run of the game.
The McGahee run was all the Broncos needed to get them into field goal range and they immediately sent Prater onto the field to knock through the game-winning 37-yard field goal.
McGahee finished the game with 117 rushing yards on 23 carries.
For the Chargers, Philip Rivers once again played poorly. He completed 19 out of 36 passes for just 188 yards and one touchdown. Time after time, Rivers overthrew his wide receivers and made poor decisions.
The poor offensive line play for the Chargers didn't help Rivers either. The Broncos were constantly in the Chargers' offensive backfield, hitting Rivers and forcing him into his terrible decisions.
The lone positive for the Chargers was Ryan Mathews. He looked extremely quick throughout the game and ran for 137 yards on 22 carries.
Tebow-mania was in full effect in San Diego as there were tons of fans adorned in his jersey. Just like in past games, Tebow did very little to actually lead his team to victory. He only ran for 67 yards on 22 carries and completed 9 out of 18 passes for just 143 yards and a touchdown.
However, Denver's defense and a great performance by McGahee is what truly helped the Broncos gain their win over the Chargers. Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil were excellent for Denver.
The Chargers have now lost six straight games and no one in San Diego knows why Norv Turner still has a head coaching job.
The Broncos appear to be a legitimate playoff contender. They have a great defense and a great running game.
Final score: Broncos 16, Chargers 13
