Last outing:31-24 W @ Kansas City
**
Standouts:** After the defense set the tone and scored the Broncos' lone touchdown in Week 1, the offese was more efficient in Week 2. Falling behind 14-0 in the first half, Manning connected with Emmanuel Sanders and Virgil Green to tie the game before halftime. Late in the fourth quarter, the Broncos needed a touchdown to tie and Manning conducted a smooth 80-yard, two-minute drive capped by Emmanuel Sanders' 19-yard score. But the defense would win the game, with ILB Brandon Marshall forcing a fumble on Jamaal Charles and CB Bradley Roby returning the fumble for the game-winning touchdown.
Up next:The Broncos head out on the road again, traveling to Detroit to face a hungry Lions team (0-2) for their home opener.

With 26 seconds left, Carr threw the game-winning touchdown to WR Seth Roberts. Carr finished with 351 passing yards and three touchdowns with one interception, and WR Michael Crabtree and Cooper each finished with a touchdown and more than 100 yards receiving.

San Diego Chargers (1-1)
Last outing:24-19 L @ Cincinnati
**
Standouts:** An early muffed punt put the Chargers looking to catch up and an inability to capitalize on turnovers put San Diego in a tough situation on the road. QB Philip Rivers did a good job keeping the Chargers close, but matched two touchdowns with two turnovers. Rookie RB Melvin Gordon had a solid game, rushing for 88 yards on 16 carries (5.5-yard average).
Up next: The Chargers head to Minneapolis to the TCF Bank Stadium, the temporary home of the Vikings (1-1).
