15:00: Darren Sproles is back to receive for the Chargers, and the Broncos special teams unit is gathered at the 20-yard line. Matt Prater has the football from the referee, and he sets it on the tee. It’s game time.

Prater’s kick sails to the four-yard line and Sproles heads toward the sideline — he makes it up to the 30-yard line.

The starting defense comes out onto the field — it’s Ebenezer Ekuban, Marcus Thomas, Dewayne Robertson and Elvis Dumervil on the line, D.J. Williams, Nate Webster and Jamie Winborn at linebacker and Champ Bailey, Dre’ Bly, Vernon Fox and Josh Barrett in the secondary.

14:25: On the first play of the game, the Chargers employ some trickery. Philip Rivers fakes a handoff to LaDainian Tomlinson and then pitches it to Vincent Jackson on an end-around. The receiver picks up 17 yards.

On the following first down, Tomlinson finds a hole for another first down, but there’s a flag on the play — holding on San Diego.

15:00: The Broncos have a second-and-7 at the Buffalo 21-yard line to start the second quarter. Selvin Young proceeds to take the handoff from Jay Cutler and pick up seven yards and the first down.

On first down, Young takes another carry but is dropped for a loss of a yard. On second down, Cutler drops back and finds Tatum Bell for a three-yard gain.

That sets up third-and-8, and Cutler drops back but can’t find Brandon Marshall — the ball falls incomplete and sets up a fourth down.

Matt Prater jogs onto the field and kicks his second field goal of the game through the uprights. It’s a 30-yarder, and the Broncos’ lead over the Bills is extended to 13-0.

13:12: Prater is back to kick for Denver, with the always dangerous Leodis McKelvin waiting to receive for the Bills. Prater kicks it short, bouncing it just in front of McKelvin. He picks it up and gains 16 yards before being dropped at the 25-yard line by Herana-Daze Jones, his second special teams stop of the day.

15:00: It’s first-and-goal for the Broncos from the four-yard line, but the Raiders have elected to challenge the previous play. They say Darrell Jackson was down by contact before he got up and sprinted to the four.

The ruling is overturned — an Oakland defender placed a hand on Jackson’s back just as his knee was touching the ground, so it’s still a first down for the offense, but it’s back 36 yards. First-and-10 on the Oakland 40-yard line. It’s a 28-yard reception for Jackson.

Just a quick note: the Raiders had one first down in the first quarter. The Broncos had eight.

15:00: OK, the game is back on and Cutler tries to get a pass to Eddie Royal near the right sideline but it’s intercepted. Chris Johnson returns the ball all the way toward the end zone, and starts strutting at the 10-yard line, holding the ball out. Royal chases him down and almost slaps the ball out of his hand but he falls into the endzone for a touchdown.

There’s a flag on the play, however. Holding on Johnson before the pass was thrown — first down for the Broncos at the Oakland 35-yard line.

15:00: Third-and-3 for the Dolphins on their own 43-yard line. Chad Pennington takes the snap, drops back and is leveled by a leaping Ebenezer Ekuban. Ekuban looked like he came out of nowhere, flying through the air and clobbering Pennington for a six-yard sack.

Eddie Royal is back deep to field the Brandon Fields punt. The crowd is chanting “Eddie, Eddie, Eddie” as Royal fields the punt and turns upfield, picking up 16 yards to the 25-yard line.

14:11: First-and-10 Denver. Jay Cutler finds Peyton Hillis near the right sideline for six yards. Now Cutler is in shotgun on second-and-4. He finds Darrell Jackson down the middle of the field, complete all the way to the Miami 46-yard line. It’s a 23-yard reception.

12:53: Cutler’s pass to Hillis on first down is incomplete. The second-down play is a handoff to Michael Pittman up the middle, and he picks up a quick two yards before being brought down.

That brings up third-and-8 for the offense. Cutler is in the shotgun formation with Pittman to his left. Daniel Graham goes in motion from right to left, and Cutler takes the snap. He’s sacked by Joey Porter, the NFL’s sack leader coming into this week.

After the two-yard sack, Brett Kern is out to punt away to Davone Bess, who fields the punt for the Dolphins at their own nine-yard line after a fair catch was signaled.
