Broncos hold on for win after blocking Chargers' game-tying FG attempt

The Denver Broncos survived by a narrow margin Monday in a 24-21 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Los Angeles led a valiant fourth-quarter comeback attempt, roaring back from a 24-7 deficit on a pair of touchdowns from Philip Rivers.

With the game on the line, Younghoe Koo's 44-yard field-goal attempt was blocked by Broncos defensive end Shelby Harris, preserving the win. Harris signed with the Broncos on a reserve/future contract in January, joining his fourth team in as many years.

"Shelby has earned his way," Broncos head coach Vance Joseph said postgame to Nicki Jhabvala of The Denver Post.

The Broncos took command of the game at the outset, led by a stellar performance from Trevor Siemian, who finished 17-of-28 for 219 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.

Rivers went 22-of-33 for 192 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception while orchestrating the rally that fell one play short.
