Rivers throws 4 TD passes, Chargers top Denver

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Philip Rivers tied his career high with four touchdown passes and the San Diego Chargers (5-5) beat the Denver Broncos (3-7) 35-14 on Monday night for their third straight victory.

While Rivers did it on a season-low 233 yards, San Diego's defense, led by linebacker Shaun Phillips, settled in and harassed Denver's Kyle Orton after he led an easy opening scoring drive.
