CARSON, Calif. (AP) – Brandon McManus scored a 34-yard goal late in the game on Sunday to give the Denver Broncos a 23-22 win and break the Los Angeles Chargers' six-game winning streak.

Denver got the ball at 8 with 1:51 left, and Case Keenum orchestrated a seven-play, 76-yard drive. Keenum, who was 19 out of 32 for 205 yards, completed five passes for 86 yards, including a 30-yard run at Courtland Sutton and Denver 16. Keenum then managed the ball and McManus's kick split the amounts. .

Phillip Lindsay had 11 assists for 79 yards and Sutton three receptions for 78 yards. Denver (4-6) had lost six of seven players entering the game.

"When the match is tight, Case has played the most number of times – it's a player," said Denver coach, Vance Joseph. "We played in four or five of those games and did not make enough games to win, and today we did not expect to win, we created games to win."

Philip Rivers threw for 401 yards and two touchdowns. The 15-year-old, who completed 28 of 43 passes, also became the sixth quarterback in league history to have made at least two touchdown passes in each of his team's first 10 games to get started a season.

This was not one of the cleanest games for Rivers or the Chargers. Rivers launched two interceptions and Los Angeles imposed 14 penalties, including 10 in the first half. Mike Badgley, who scored three goals, also missed an extra point that eventually got bigger.

"The crucial mistakes we were able to avoid, we have not made today," Rivers said.

Melvin Gordon had 158 yards in the scrum (89 in the race, 69 conceded) and Keenan Allen had nine receptions for 89 yards and a touchdown for the Chargers (7-3).

Badgley scored two field goals in the first quarter, allowing the Chargers to get ahead. Less than three minutes into the second quarter, Lindsay chained attacks from right guard Billy Turner and Connor McGovern. He added 41 yards to give the Broncos a 7-6 lead.

Lindsay's touchdown had already been expected when the Broncos managed to play a fake kick with Colby Waldman, a goallender, who sent a 12-yard pass to defenseman Andy Janovich for a first try. It was the second week in a row that the Chargers were allowing a fake cash register.

Rivers escaped the blitz and threw a 4-yard pass to an open Allen to put Los Angeles in first place at 13-6 at halftime. The Chargers then scored in their opening second-half game when Rivers threw a 6-yard touchdown to Antonio Gates.

The Chargers seemed to drive for another score when Denver grabbed the momentum. Von Miller got his first interception in a regular season game since 2012 when he grabbed Rivers on a screen pass and brought him back to 40 yards from the Chargers. Three games later, Royce Freeman opened the scoring to three yards.

"The interception reversed the game, for me, that made everything turn out," Rivers said. "It was about to be an eruption, and he played, then it was a touchdown and all of a sudden he made one."

The Broncos then took a 20-19 lead in their next training when Lindsay scored a two-yard touchdown pass.

The Badgley field placement would give the Chargers advance in the final round.

MOMENTOUS BAG

Miller's Rivers bag in the second quarter gave him 10 for the season, which allowed him to join Reggie White and DeMarcus Ware as the only players with 10 or more sacks in seven of their first eight seasons.

BOSA RETURNS

Chargers' defensive end, Joey Bosa, made his debut in the season after missing the first nine games due to a left foot injury. The third-year lineman did not start, but was in difficult situations.

INJURY

Loader defensive tackle Corey Liuget was rushed to the locker room with a knee injury in the second quarter. Denver receiver DeSean Hamilton suffered a knee injury in the second quarter and cornerback Bradley Roby was assessed for a concussion in the fourth quarter.
