He returned for the second half, determining the stakes were too high to stay down. ``It was a big game for us, but I probably shouldn't have played on it,'' McCree said. ``But it was a road game in the division.''

| (MySportsbook) - The Denver Broncos are never happy when they lose at home, but this week's loss had to leave an extra bitter taste in their mouth. The Broncos had a key divisional battle with the San Diego Chargers on Sunday, and wound up losing the game by a 35-27 margin. The thing that really stings for Denver is the fact that the team held a 17-point lead early in the third quarter. The setback dropped Denver (7-3) into second place in the AFC -- just one game behind the Chargers. The loss may have put |
