Chargers cinch lead in AFC West

It was a day of upsets and victories as Week 11 of the NFL season  saw San Diego taking the lead in the AFC West with a 35-27 win over Denver.

Led by the outstanding LaDainian Tomlinson, the Chargers charged past the Broncos to cinch the title of the best in the west.  

Tomlinson scored four touchdowns to keep the Chargers in the game after Denver took an early lead. This marks the second week that San Diego has come back from a 17 point gap – the first team in NFL history to do so.

The other big news Sunday was Dallas beating the undefeated Colts, and crushing their hopes of staying perfect on the season. Peyton Manning and the Colts were far from perfect as they turned the ball over on four of their first six possessions and came up empty on their final two drives to lose 21-14 to the Cowboys.

In Monday night action,  the New York Giants visit the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are a four-point favorite. Bet on it now.
