SAN DIEGO (AP) – Peyton Manning threw three touchdown passes in the second half and Tony Carter and Chris Harris scored off turnovers by Philip Rivers as the Denver Broncos overcame a 24-0 halftime deficit to stun the San Diego Chargers 35-24 on Monday night. Manning was 13 of 14 for 167 yards in the second half for the Broncos (3-3) who tied the Chargers atop the AFC West. Rivers was intercepted four times — three in the fourth quarter — and lost two fumbles. Manning’s 21-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Stokley gave Denver its first lead of the game, 28-24 with 9:03 left. Stokley outleaped defensive back Marcus Gilchrist to catch the ball, and then got both feet down before tumbling out of the end zone. Harris sealed the victory with a 46-yard interception return for a touchdown with 2:05 left. It was his second pick of the night. Manning finished 24 of 30 for 309 yards with one interception. – By BERNIE WILSON, AP Sports Writer (© Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
