Denver's stingy defense remained dominant, recording four sacks, an interception and a forced fumble |

The Chargers, after all, are an expected return (from 2004) playoff participant this season and enter the game with a 3-1 record that's good for a first-place tie with the Denver Broncos in the AFC's West division. The Niners, meanwhile, are an upstart 2-3, looking up at the front-running Rams and Seahawks in the NFC West and enduring the on-again, off-again evolution of quarterback Alex Smith - the league's first overall draft pick |

All season, the Denver Broncos' second-year punter wondered whether he was just holding down a roster spot until veteran Todd Sauerbrun finished serving his four-game suspension for using the banned dietary supplement ephedra. He got his answer this week when general manager Ted Sundquist called him to say he was staying and Sauerbrun, a former Pro Bowl punter with lots of baggage and a hefty price tag, was history. ``I had to go through a third cut,'' s |

DENVER (AP) -Darrent Williams' ``Fro-hawk'' drew almost as much attention as his play Monday night. Williams, a second-year cornerback for the Denver Broncos, decided to style his hair in the unique half-Mohawk and half-Afro for national television. ``It's tall and pointy, like a rock star,'' he said. Williams deserved rock-star treatment after his performance Monday. He had his first interception of the season and a crucial 33-yard punt return when the Denver offense was struggling during the Bronco |

WILD, WILD WEST The Chargers were widely considered to be the best squad left out of the playoffs last season, but this year they have plans on simply being the best team. The best place to start for San Diego in that quest would be an AFC West crown. At 3-1, the Chargers are still tied with the Denver Broncos for the top spot in the division.
