The Denver Broncos wrap up Week Six in the NFL with their Monday night showdown in San Diego against the Chargers. Despite their 2-3 start, the Broncos can still gain an early advantage in the AFC West race tonight. A win would make them 2-0 against their divisional foes. The Chargers are already out to a 2-0 start in divisional play, but are just one game ahead of Denver in the AFC West standings with a 3-2 overall record. Both teams are coming off of defeats in Week Five. Denver lost at New England 31-21, while the Chargers fell at New Orleans 31-24. Neither the Broncos nor quarterback Peyton Manning have had recent success against San Diego. The Broncos have lost four of the last five meetings, and Manning has lost five of his last six starts against the Bolts. ESPN Radio 1410 has the action from Qualcomm Stadium tonight. Pregame coverage starts at 5:35 with the kickoff set for 7:30.
