Broncos’ breakdowns ruin a rare fast start and keep them from clinching 1st playoff berth since ’15

Associated Press  

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Sean Payton was kicking himself after Denver surrendered both the momentum and the NFL’s first successful fair-catch kick in 48 years. Cameron Dicker’s gift 57-yard field goal sparked the Chargers’ 34-27 comeback Thursday night that snapped Denver’s four-game winning streak and prevented the Broncos from clinching their first playoff berth since 2015. “It’s just a dumb penalty,” said Tremon Smith, who ran into punt returner Derius Davis at the Chargers’ 38 as the first half expired. The 15-yard penalty moved the ball past midfield, opening the door for the league’s first successful fair-catch kick since Ray Wersching did it for the San Diego Chargers 48 years ago. Dicker’s field goal cut the Broncos’ lead to eight and sparked a 24-6 run by the Chargers, who swept Denver for the first time since 2010.
