Chargers claim two game lead

Full Story Here: "The San Diego Chargers fought through a rainy day to beat the Denver Broncos. They took advantage of four Jake Plummer interceptions and came away with a 20-17 victory as Denver could not make head way on their final drive of the game.

The Chargers needed one first down to end the game but could not convert a third down with two minutes to go and almost lost the game when Drew Brees was sacked by John Lynch and fumbled the ball. Brees was able to secure it but the Bolts had to punt and give Denver the ball back.

Denver converted a fourth and ten to get the ball to the San Diego 46 with twenty seconds to go. They were forced into another fourth and ten but this time just eight ticks remained on the clock. Jake Plummer hit Darius Watts but the rookie turned his route inside instead of going out of bounds as the clock ran out on Denver and gave San Diego a two game cushion atop the AFC West."
