Chargers’ 20-play scoring drive has big impact in win over Broncos

DENVER — At some point in the second quarter, the Chargers’ defensive unit began to wonder when it might get back on the field. They weren’t in a hurry to return to play, mind you, but they began to feel refreshed, relaxed and composed while seated on the bench in the mile-high altitude.

It was an odd sensation.

So was the sight of the Chargers marching 76 yards in 20 plays over 10:29, setting up the second of Cameron Dicker’s three field goals in their 23-16 victory Sunday over the Denver Broncos.
