...Tebow will get a third straight start Sunday, even though former starter Kyle Orton is healthy enough to play after being bothered by sore ribs. Orton probably could have played last week, but Tebow got the start and helped Denver end a five-game losing streak with a 24-23 victory over Houston.

"There definitely was progress," Studesville said. "He got much better. He made plays and he scrambled and did some things. He threw the ball well, got the ball down the field, and he continues to keep developing. And that's what it is: the more he plays, the better he'll get."

The first-round pick was 16 of 29 for 308 yards with one touchdown and an interception, and he ran six yards for the winning TD with 3:02 to play. Tebow provides the Broncos with much more mobility than Orton, having run for 27 yards last week after gaining 78 in his first career start against Oakland.

"I love his will to win," receiver Jabar Gaffney said. "As long as he has that, we've got a chance. Everything else we can work on."

Gaffney had 90 yards receiving last week while Brandon Lloyd had 111 to raise his season total to 1,375, second most in franchise history behind Rod Smith's 1,602 in 2000.

Lloyd was the Broncos' lone Pro Bowl selection while the Chargers had three, including Antonio Gates. The tight end, though, will sit out for the sixth time in eight games due to a foot problem.
