This Sunday's Broncos-Chargers matchup means more than the typical week two NFL game. Since the Chargers conveniently lost their opener to the Carolina Panthers, the Broncos, who mowed down the Oakland Raiders on Monday night, can wind up two games ahead of the San Diegans if they successfully defend their home field. Plus, it'll be a chance to earn some oh-so-sweet revenge against Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, who displayed his class last year by spewing bile at Broncos hurler Jay Cutler toward the end of a blow-out victory last season.
Look below to see that incident again -- and then imagine how different Rivers' face will look if he leaves Invesco Field on the short end of the scoreboard. -- Michael Roberts
