Broncos receiver Eddie Royal may have failed to catch a pass in Denver's 34-23 victory over the San Diego Chargers on Monday night, but the second-year pro became the first player in Broncos history to return a kickoff and a punt for touchdowns in the same game.

Royal thinks that one of the San Diego cover-men may have got a hand on him during his 93-yard kickoff return in the first quarter. However, he knows no one touched him on his 71-yard punt return in the second quarter.

Royal became just the 11th player in NFL history to return a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown in a game.

"Man, it was a great feeling. The guys did a great job of blocking," Royal said of the second return. "I've got to give them a lot of credit. They opened up the seams and it was a home run."

Royal and the Broncos were not the only ones to get an explosive return out of their special teams. Darren Sproles of the Chargers had one of his own.

Sproles had a 77-yard punt return in the second quarter for a San Diego score. The three combined returns for touchdowns tied the NFL record for a game.

With the win, the Broncos move to 6-0 and are off to their best start since going 13-0 in 1998 en route to winning their second straight Super Bowl behind John Elway.
