The Broncos' 2-2 start is their worst (through four games) in seven seasons. In allowing 181.0 rushing yards per game, the Broncos rank next to last in run defense. The new defensive scheme evidently still has some kinks to iron out. The Chargers led the Chiefs by 10 points going into the second half. That'd be a good time to rely on LaDainian Tomlinson, right? Well, LT had just six carries after halftime as the Chargers lost their third straight. Will Norv Turner make it to December?
