Last season, Eddie Royal appeared to be a wide receiver with a bright future for the Denver Broncos. This season, his wide receiving talents haven’t been on display. However, in Week 6, he was a huge part of the Broncos win — even though he didn’t catch a pass.
In the first quarter, Royal put the Broncos up 7-3 by returning a kickoff 93 yards for a touchdown. In the second quarter, Royal gave his team a 17-10 lead after returning a punt 71 yards for a touchdown.
In the second half, the Chargers built a 23-17 lead with less than eight minutes to remain in the third quarter. But the Broncos then clamped down on defense and scored the final 17 points of the game to win by a final score of 34-23.
With the win, the surprising Broncos are 6-0. Few experts thought the Broncos would make the playoffs — much less be undefeated after six weeks.
For the Chargers, it was another disappointing loss. San Diego is only 2-3 and they seem to be headed to yet another disappointing season.
