Reggie Herring, defense take care of business in Wade Phillips' absence

DENVER – The Broncos' best play of the afternoon didn't come without a cost.

Bradley Roby was already headed to the end zone.

The Broncos cornerback had reeled in an interception courtesy of Philip Rivers and was off to the races to give Denver its first touchdown of the afternoon.

But back on the Broncos’ sideline, Chargers running back Melvin Gordon couldn’t slow his momentum as he barreled off the field. Gordon bowled into Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips, who fell back and hit his head on the tarp-covered grass.

“It was scary,” outside linebacker Shane Ray said.
