Broncos 24, Chargers 21
Defensive end Shelby Harris blocked Younghoe Koo's second
44-yard field goal attempt in the final moments after the rookie
kicker's successful first kick was waved off because of a
last-second timeout call, preserving the Denver Broncos' 24-21
victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night.
Vance Joseph's icing of Koo made him a winner in his head
coaching debut with the Broncos and allowed Denver to withstand
a furious fourth-quarter rally led by the Chargers quarterback
Philip Rivers.
The ending left the Chargers with a loss in their first game
since moving in the offseason to Los Angeles from their longtime
home in San Diego.
Vikings 29, Saints 19
Sam Bradford threw for 346 yards and three touchdowns, and the
Minnesota Vikings spoiled Adrian Peterson's return with a 29-19
win against the New Orleans Saints on Monday night.
Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs made two touchdown receptions
in the first half.
Bradford completed 27 of 32 passes with no turnovers. Adam
Thielen caught nine passes for 157 yards, and tight end Kyle
Rudolph added a touchdown reception for Minnesota (1-0).
