After Matt Prater knocked home a 41-yard field goal, the Chargers put together a drive to try to answer.

The drive was fueled by a 39-yard Ryan Mathews run, but the defense didn’t allow San Diego to capitalize, stopping Mike Tolbert after a 2-yard gain and forcing two Philip Rivers incompletions.

Nick Novak trotted out to attempt his third field goal of the day, but the 48-yarder was wide right, keeping the score at 13-10, Chargers.

The Broncos offense picks up at its own 38-yard line with 12:33 remaining in the fourth quarter.

Broncos on the Board

October 23rd, 2011 - 1:48pm by Kenny LeganOther posts by Kenny Legan

The Broncos march down the field and cut Miami’s lead to a one possession game. Tebow threw a five-yard scoring strike to Demaryius Thomas as the receiver made a diving catch at the front pylon.

The play was reviewed and upheld.

The touchdown catch was Thomas’ first of the year and just his second catch of the season. He recorded his first catch earlier on the drive, a 15-yard completion near the sideline.

Tebow kept the drive alive with his legs as well as his arm. He threw a 42-yard completion to Matt Willis over the middle to get the Broncos to the Dolphins’ 12-yard line, and a few plays later, Tebow scrambled for a 13-yard gain to set up the touchdown pass.
