The Broncos beat the San Diego Chargers 30-23 on Sunday afternoon, completing their first season sweep of the divisional foe since 2005.

The Chargers struck first with an interception return for a touchdown in the first quarter, but the Broncos scored the next 17 points of the game to enter halftime with a 10-point lead, holding San Diego to just 54 first-half yards.

A San Diego safety on quarterback Peyton Manning brought the Chargers to within 8 points early in the second half, and the two teams then traded touchdowns to make it 24-16 late in the third quarter.

A pair of fourth-quarter drives that took up more than 10 minutes of game clock and resulted in two field goals helped the Broncos gain separation, but San Diego was still able to make it interesting.

Inside the five-minute mark in the fourth quarter, San Diego drove 80 yards for a touchdown to bring the score to 30-23, which would end up as the final score as defensive end Elvis Dumervil sacked quarterback Philip Rivers on the final play of the game.

Quarterback Peyton Manning finished with 270 yards and three touchdowns and one interception on 25-of-42 passing.

Linebacker Von Miller led the way for the defense with three sacks, two forced fumbles and a tackle for loss.

Trailing by 14 points with 4:14 remaining, the Chargers drove 80 yards on eight plays, scoring a touchdown on a 21-yard pass to Danario Alexander 1:24 remaining in the game.

It was Alexander’s fourth catch of the drive, totaling 65 yards.

Running back Ryan Mathews made the biggest play of the series with a 24-yard reception that moved San Diego across midfield.

With two timeouts remaining, the Chargers attempted an onside kick that tight end Virgil Green recovered for the Broncos.

The Broncos offense continued the momentum from Jim Leonhard’s interception with a 57-yard drive that yielded 3 points.

Running back Ronnie Hillman moved the chains first and brought Denver out to the 42-yard line with a 12-yard reception, and Lance Ball followed that up with a run of 11 yards across midfield.

After two consecutive plays for negative yardage, the Broncos faced third-and-16 from the San Diego 45. Manning then found tight end Jacob Tamme in between two defenders, as the tight end leaped in the air and secured the catch as he was hit.

But Denver would only gain 1 more yard, settling for a 32-yard field goal to bring the score to 30-16 with 4:14 remaining.

Needing a score to get within one possession, the Chargers started off their first fourth-quarter possession with a big play. Quarterback Philip Rivers was hit upon release, but still completed a 38-yard pass to wide receiver Malcom Floyd, crossing midfield to the Denver 42-yard line.

After a run of no gain, two incompletions and a delay-of-game penalty, San Diego faced fourth-and-14 near midfield and decided to go for it.

Rivers dropped back and faced pressure once again, barely getting a desperation pass away. Safety Jim Leonhard intercepted it at the 29-yard line, giving the Broncos possession with 9:10 left in the game. It was Leonhard’s second pick of the year, tying his career high.
