are finally in the books Womens Jatavis Brown Jersey , thanks to safety Kareem Jackson's riveting return, Alexander Johnson's long-awaited arrival and Mike Purcell's starting debut."We waited a little longer than we wanted to, but a hell of a win," general manager John Elway said as he presented his almost-sheepish 61-year-old rookie head coach with a game ball in Denver's delirious locker room in Los Angeles.It's no surprise the unpretentious sexagenarian didn't keep the keepsake of the 20-13 win over the Chargers."I gave it away," Fangio said. "It's for the players, you know."The Broncos (1-4) ended an eight-game skid along with their takeaway drought as they rallied around the loss of star defender Bradley Chubb (ACL) to put an end to their winless ways.Jackson's return from a sore hamstring settled the secondary and he provided the play of the game when he hammered Austin Ekeler and forced him to fumble while trying to reach the pylon on fourth-and-goal from the 1 as the first half expired, allowing Denver to take a 17-0 lead into the locker room."Those are the types of plays we had envisioned when we brought Kareem in here to play safety," Fangio said.Purcell's first start helped repair a run defense that allowed just 35 yards a week after surrendering 269. His start in place of Adam Gotsis also allowed Shelby Harris to move from nose tackle to his more natural defensive end spot.Filling in for Josey Jewell (hamstring) Rayshawn Jenkins Jersey , Johnson and had nine tackles, two pass breakups and an end zone interception in his first start since Nov. 15, 2014, for Tennessee vs. Kentucky."I'm not surprised by his play," Von Miller said. "He has the size, he has the speed and he's smart."WHAT'S WORKINGDefensive changes. Fangio said Purcell and Johnson both earned another start next week against Tennessee. "They both played well enough to continue," said Fangio.WHAT NEEDS HELPOC Rich Scangarello's play-calling and the Broncos' offensive execution coming out of halftime. In their last two games, outside of a 15-yard penalty http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-justin-jones-jersey , the Broncos have gained just 24 yards and one first down in six third-quarter drives. They blew a 17-6 halftime lead against Jacksonville and their defense kept them from blowing a 17-0 halftime lead at LA. Fangio said the key is staying out of third-and-long situations.STOCK UPJohnson, although Fangio said he needs to keep cleaning things up to stay on the upswing. He fixed flaws on special teams but his first start was more the result of Jewell's lingering hamstring injury than his improvement. "He's a young guy who needs to master his craft a little bit better," Fangio said. "But I always knew he was going to get in there somehow, some way, because he does have talent."STOCK DOWNCB Isaac Yiadom has taken up LT Garett Bolles' penchant for penalties accompanied by indignation when flagged. He's looking like a poor fit in Fangio's zone scheme. Also, PR Diontae Spencer fielded a punt inside his own 5 for the second straight week. "He's not doing what he's been coached to do there," Fangio said.INJUREDCB De'Vante Bausby (cervical spine) will "definitely miss some time. I don't know if it will be the rest of the season or not," Fangio said. Rookie LB Justin Hollins (knee) is day-to-day Womens Kyzir White Jersey , and RT Ja'Wuan James (knee), sidelined since the opener, is expected to return to the lineup against the Titans if all goes well at practice this week.KEY NUMBER12 — the number of penalties the Broncos racked up, costing them a whopping 122 yards. Five penalties were on offense, six on defense and one on special teams. The Chargers were flagged four times for 43 yards.NEXT STEPSWith their eight-game skid over, the Broncos are out to win at home for the first time since beating the Steelers 24-17 on Nov. 25. Since then, they've lost to the Browns (17-16), Chargers (23-9) Virgil Green Jersey , Bears (16-14) and Jaguars (26-24).Follow Arnie Melendrez Stapleton on Twitter: http://twitter.com/arniestapleton Chargers running back Melvin Gordon said last week that he’d be with the team for minicamp after staying away during the voluntary portions of the offseason program and that announcement came at the same time as word of talks with the team about a new contract.Gordon shared some thoughts about that push for a contract from minicamp on Tuesday. Gordon confirmed the two sides are talking and that he’d like to see it get done, but isn’t sure if everything will come together.“I don’t know man,” Gordon said, via ESPN.com. “I’m just trying not to talk about it. If it’s going to happen, it’ll happen. When it does, I’m pretty sure you guys will know.”Gordon has 38 touchdowns over the last three seasons, which ranks behind only fellow 2015 first-round pick Todd Gurley over that span of time. Gurley’s already signed a long-term deal, but has spent the offseason dealing with a knee injury that has led some to revive misgivings about signing running backs to such contracts.“It’s an issue with everybody else http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-mike-pouncey-jersey ,” Gordon said. “But I know my value. I know what I bring to this team, and I’m sticking with that. Todd’s paid, so Todd don’t care what anybody says right now — him or David Johnson — they can say what they want to say. They signed the dotted line. But unfortunately I haven’t yet, so I’ve got to take the heat for some of the stuff that they’re going through. But I’m not them, and like I said, I know my value.”If the Chargers don’t share Gordon’s view of his value, a deal will likely remain out of Gordon’s reach.
