Chargers face AFC West rivals in 4 of their last 5 games

That is music to the ears of any fantasy owner with Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas on their team, because the stud pass-catcher has not developed any chemistry with the new guy.

It seems unusual that two division rivals would have to wait until Week 13 of the regular season for their first battle, but that is the case for the Denver Broncos and San Diego Chargers who will meet on the gridiron this Sunday afternoon. The Houston Texans pummeled the New Orleans Saints 24-6, with recent pickup Brian Hoyer throwing for just over 200 yards and making two touchdown passes.

“It’s amusing how football is”. You start to feel old when you think about those days and some of those guys (who had try-outs) now who are coaches. You always have to respect a defense that plays like that. As is the case with so many New England opponents, the Eagles dominated the series against the Patriots by winning six of eight games played from 1973 to 1999.

He had a couple of nice grabs during the portions of practice that were open to the media this week and his teammates said he had a terrific week or preparation.

“I don’t think too much is different there but Brock has worked hard and taken advantage of an opportunity given to him”, Anderson said. “I’ve got a lot of confidence in him and can’t wait to get the ball in his hands this weekend”.

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning will have his walking boot removed on Friday but will not travel with the club for Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers.

It was a 36-yarder down the right sideline just before the 2-minute warning that sparked Denver’s go-ahead touchdown with 1:09 left.

His caliber of passing prowess will be one of the toughest match ups for the Broncos defense this season.

Beyond that, both are throwbacks, considering that teams now expect highly drafted quarterbacks to play immediately. “I’m anxious about not falling and slipping, anxious about catching the ball with the snow – that’s mainly the thing”. And what kind of impact can I make?

Marshall had his best game as a Jet Sunday, leading the team in receptions (nine), yards (131) and touchdowns (two). “That’s a positive thing in this league because this league is about overcoming adversity many, many times over, not just once”. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman ($4,200) combined for 172 yards and 3 scores on the ground against New England in Week 12.

Tight ends Vernon Davis (10 catches for 97 yards) and Owen Daniels (10 catches for 131 yards) have thrived with Osweiler under center. However if given the chance, Brock Osweiler has shown in a short period of time that he may be the right man, in the right system to help carry the Broncos the rest of the way. Peyton knows exactly that we’re trying to get him as healthy as we possibly can and myself and [trainer Steve Antonopulos] and everybody.

Ware missed a game at Cleveland on October 18 and was back on the field November 1, when he had a monster game against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers following the Broncos’ bye week.

The Chargers really don’t have a great roster, even when healthy, so the idea of possibly securing a promising young college player this offseason must be running through some of the minds that are involved with the Chargers.
