Broncos Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:23:25 PST

Now that the AFC West lead is gone and a 6-0 start is a distant memory, the Broncos have to focus on simply getting a win.

Things have changed dramatically for the team during a four-game losing streak, and the road won't get easier with the New York Giants coming in for a Thursday night game.

While many of the mistakes made during the early part of the losing streak were simple football issues, such as not stopping the run and giving up big plays on special teams, things seemed to get worse for the Broncos against the Chargers. Defensive end Vonnie Holliday said he was upset at how the team lost its composure.

There was a now well-documented shove from running back Knowshon Moreno to receiver Brandon Marshall on the sideline.

The Denver Broncos have lost four straight games and, now, their cool. So, among the things they're hoping to fix during their short week of preparation leading up to their game against the New York Giants (6-4) on Thanksgiving is their loss of composure. Coach Josh McDaniels said the Broncos (6-4) need to channel their emotions in more positive ways.

It didn't matter which quarterback the Denver Broncos threw out there Sunday. The surging San Diego Chargers bottled up both the rusty Chris Simms and the hobbled Kyle Orton. Philip Rivers and a dominant defense led the Chargers into sole possession of first place in the AFC West with a 32-3 drubbing of the Denver Broncos, who couldn't move the ball effectively behind either QB Sunday.
