This was the game that got Denver going. They wouldn't lose another game until that wild one against Baltimore.

Peyton Manning would go on to throw for 4600 yards that year and 37 TD's. He was named 1st team all pro for the 6th time in his career. It was also the 2nd time that he would be named to the 1st team without winning MVP as Adrian Peterson won it that year with his 2000 yard season. The other was 2005 when Shaun Alexander won it with his record breaking season of 27 rushing touchdowns. He was named comeback player of the year however.

I remember watching this first half on a school night, so I went to bed at halftime. I was STUNNED when I saw the final score when I woke up the next morning.

This sparked an ELEVEN game winning streak! Broncos were looking at 2-4 down 24-0 at half. What a turnaround

One of Peyton's greatest comebacks.

I remember this game so vividly, it made me truly believe in the Broncos as a young fan it was everything to see the Broncos beat down the Chargers for the years preceding it SD had really dominated Denver, from the McDaniels era to Tebow and Fox, it was so awesome to see this and go to 9th grade after this kind of win.

This was a hell of a job by the Denver defense not allowing a point and scoring 2 tds in the 2nd half.

Another game in which Peyton Manning orchestrated his genius in the 4th quarter. Great clip!!!

Two Peyton Manning comeback videos in one week, both from games happening this week that’s crazy 😂

Miss Peyton every Sunday, GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Phil Rivers' career in one video.

Denver Broncos Against San Diego Chargers From The 70s 80s And Early 90s Totally Amazing Badass AFC West Division Rivalry Underrated ☺🏈

This was a team effort

As a Chargers fan this hurts 😂😂😂

Mike Tirico has one of the greatest voices ever. He should've stayed on MNF

Manning and a Underrated come back

Just like to good ol days 😌

We need more games from Peyton’s Broncos era, make it if you can NFL TB 🤞🏾

I have a couple of suggestions for throwbacks that this channel could upload: Titans at Patriots, Week 5, 2003. Browns at Ravens, Week 11, 2007. EDIT: I forgot, Falcons at Jaguars, Week 17, 1996.

The game where everybody knew Peyton was back.

Damn, back when the Chargers had a whole city of fans.....Great times!

Gruden at 13:06 after the Rivers pick "you gotta be kidding me" A+

I remember watching this game when I was a kid crazy how time flies

I miss watching Peyton play

Beginning of an era in Denver

I remember being in middle school thinking "Denver's not losing another game" after this comeback

One of my favorite broncos come back

I was at this game, and it was my first MNF game that I will never forget!!

Legend.

This game was both vintage Peyton Manning and Phillip Rivers.

Back when Denver was relevant. 6 years of losing seasons is tarnishing our winning heritage. I miss PFM. Lord send us a Savior 😂

I remember that game well great game

I still remember this game like it was yesterday. It was 24-0 at the half i said the Broncos were done. Boy was I wrong 😂

I watched this whole game and was mad at the beginning but was screaming and yelling with excitement afterwards!!

Philip rivers ALWAYS Been overated ASF 😂😂😂. I like games like this

8:59 satisfying td

Tom and Peyton. 2 best QB's of all time. next is Montana. followed by Bree's and then Rodgers

Miss seeing The Sheriff sling the football every Sunday.

Insane how San Diego led the division, then Denver won this game plus 11 straight

This was the start of the only 4 years of Broncos convention I’ve been alive for

The second touchdown was the most clear missed encroachment I’ve ever seen. That fumble should’ve never counted.

Reminder that the Broncos have not made the playoffs since Peyton was at QB.

Us broncos need this now!!!

12:00 Peyton Manning who is not known for being nimble.. what awareness around him and even under him as hops over someone before completing a pass. Not the most agile and not the strongest arm but my God he's probably one of the best Field general I've ever seen at the quarterback position

And to think they are both retired now wow how time has flown by

Great game for Peyton and a great comeback, I always hated Peyton for some reason and I would always smile when someone talks about the 1998 season, Super bowl 44 or super bowl 48

My favorite MNF scoreboard graphic

I remember watching this game and never really thinking Denver was going to lose, even when they were down 24.

Who else thought of this after LAC blew their game to JAX? I couldn't of been the only one lol

before watching this i thought there's no way he did this in a playoff game lol

That drive right after halftime for the touchdown was perfect by Peyton Manning.

As a chargers fans this is just pain still for my guy phillip I remember watching this game to lol

So sad San Diego lost the Chargers. Remember the Dan Fouts air Coryell days. An I'm a Bronco Fan!

THIS WAS CRAZY..............

lets go broncos they the best

Decker and Daniels were the shit!

Damn that Bronco secondary was NASTY! They had a prime Chris Harris in the slot! Tony Carter was waaaaaayy under rated as a #2. Plus the nasty pass rush which automatically makes an average DB become above average from simply for lacing the QBs to rush through progressions. I forgot how good that team was.

However being down 2 points 12 seconds into the superbowl is far too much for him to overcome.

10:31 was offsides by the defense

The Broncos went to win the remaining games of that season. Yes, they were 2-3 prior to this game & after this game, they won 13 straight games. Had Rahim Moore didn’t blow his coverage on Jacoby Jones, who knows.

Nice

RIP Demaryus Thomas

STOKLEY DOWN THE SIDELINE WOW!

I know it has been talked about a lot but even with that I don't think Peyton gets the credit he deserves for what he did after his injury! Why, 4 neck fusion surgeries & permanent nerve damage in his passing arm & hand!! I literally think it's one of the most incredible achievements in the history of sports & that's a fact!!! He couldn't even throw a ball 10 yards & less than a year later he takes a new team to the playoffs ( a game they shoulda won)!! Also, as I'm watching this I still can't believe that Demetrius Thomas is past away!!

It’s nice that there are so many MNF games with Jon Gruden so we can still listen. To him even tho the NFL exiled him.

Well to me, it was more of a team comeback than what Peyton alone did.

Chargers fans in the second half:. The wheels are coming off.

Can denver do the same this year??? Week 6 2022 2-3 MNF vs chargers. Can we repeat 2012??

Normalise showing their records before the games

I know when you are able Omaha you can do several things on it, but I wish Peyton with explain it better. I’d love to hear it.

am i the only one shocked to (re)learn that von miller has been in the league for a decade?

Seeing that full house of Chargers fans, this makes me think... Maybe this game was the beginning of the end of the Chargers fandom in general. It certainly set the tone for collapses in the next decade forward...

Tirico and Gruden were really the duo 😔😔

The nostalgia of this night…… I remember it being a school night so my parents told me to go to sleep but I stayed up because Peyton Manning was my favorite player. The next day at school all my friends came up to me and roasted me because they had not seen the score the next morning 😂😂😂

Wonder what happened to the wideout Matt Willis....

Up 24 on the road at half is a problem for Peyton though

Antonio Gates one of the TE 🐐

Just here witnessing this gem again after the chargers blew a 27-0 lead against the jaguars

I was at this game and let me tell you it was berserk!

In 2022, I've wondered they need a New Stadium in San Diego, California. And maybe the Major League Football will find a New Stadium in San Diego.

After this loss Philip Rivers was dag-nabbing all over the place.

I guess the charges just suck at keeping leads,

(Broncos) Peyton and Tom Brady gave rivers hell man

As a Chiefs fan, it always sucked watching Peyton Manning come to Denver and own the AFC West. I wonder how the rest of the AFC West feels with the Chiefs dominating the AFC West the last 5 years?

This was perhaps the best Broncos team with Peyton Manning as quarterback. Top 4 in both yards gained and points scored on offense and top 4 in points allowed and yardage allowed on defense. They had both Dumervil and Miller coming off the edge. The o-line was still secure with Clady as left tackle. This game started a winning streak that didn't end until they blew it against Baltimore in the playoffs. Typical Broncos heartbreak. Coming from a die-hard fan. Then the next year we had to watch them get destroyed in the super bowl. Holy shit. There were certainly a lot of ups during the Manning era but also quite a few downs. But I wouldn't change it that's for sure. Not even for Tebow time 😂!!

🔥

As a Chargers fan. That guy for the Chargers who got the Pick 6. He went to play for Denver the next season.

Everyone's talking about Payton greatness when really it's jus the chargers being the chargers blowing double digit leads in consecutive games shits been going on forever

That Broncos defense was damn good. They had an elite pass rush lead by Von and Elvis. They were backed up by a secondary that was lead by HOFer Champ Bailey and one of the top slot corners ever in Chris Harris Jr. That secondary flourished in man to man coverage. That’s what makes Flaccos 2012 run so much more impressive. He essentially put Champ in retirement because Flacco and Torrey Smith were Torching Champ and that defense all day.

Crazy how they make wins and losses all about the quaterback like everyother player on the field doesnt do anythin.

SD won the day game 24-0 Denver won the night game 35-0

It was fall break, so the whole fam piled into the car and drove from Denver to SoCal for the week. We left early on a Monday morning, and as we were approaching Los Angeles it was game time. Hit some LA traffic, but dad had the radio going with the game. It was terrible. Nothing was going right for the Broncos, and because we were in SoCal the only station we could pick up was the Chargers. I had to hear their stupid commentator say in a shrill voice “MOVE THOSE CHAINS” for what felt like a hundred times. To hear all that after a long 15 hour drive while being stuck in bumper to bumper traffic was a literal nightmare. Then Peyton throws a pick-six. Another turnover. Broncos down 24-0. Dad cuts off the radio. At this point, we just wanted to get to the house we had rented. Finally pulled in, unpacked, sat down, and decided we’d see how the second half had started. Broncos had scored. 24-7. I figured I’d watch a little more. It was a nice change to hear the classic duo of Gruden and Tirico making the calls on ESPN. Then suddenly it all started to change. Everything came together in the most magical-football sort of way. Sack after sack. Laser strike after laser strike from Manning to Decker and Stokley, defensive touchdowns and takeaways, and on and on. 28-24 Broncos. And then the icing on the cake….Chris Harris (who I had the chance to meet that previous Summer while he was still trying to make the team) caps it off with a glorious pick six! 35-24 Broncos for good. I nearly lost my voice from all the shouting and excitement. The best part though, was going to sleep that night knowing that Mr. “move those chains” had been silenced 😂😁 Such a sweet victory, and my favorite Broncos game ever.

Manning was one of the greatest ever

The Real G.O.A.T.

That was the time when Recievers had those 80 Numbers

Throwback idea: 2019 afc wild card game: the night the dynasty ended (titans pats)

Simps can say what they want about the Chargers not belonging in LA but looking at that opening shot of Qualcomm Stadium which looks like the Colosseum in Rome.. an ancient dilapidated ruin in shambles, I'm so glad the team is now playing at SoFi Stadium.

Does anyone know why quinten jammer hesitated instead of just continuing to run at 6:20?

Classic Rivers choke job. Does not deserve to get into Canton but will because he played a long time and stacked passing yards as a result.

13:29 any time you were a defender and you saw Peyton Manning bobbing his head up and down, jumping from left to right along the offensive line, going crazy changing the play - awh man, you know a big pass is coming and it will likely be a touchdown. Too funny. Great catch by Stokes but Manning out only where Brandon could get it.
