The Denver Broncos' 6-0 start to the 2009 season seems like a very distant memory.

The Broncos lost their fourth consecutive game Sunday, a 32-3 drubbing against the San Diego Chargers at Invesco Field.

Denver receiver Brandon Marshall called the loss "the most frustrating game I've ever played in." The Broncos, who led the Chargers by 31/2 games five weeks ago, now trail San Diego by a game in the AFC West.

The Broncos were the only AFC West team to lose in Week 11. Kansas City upset Pittsburgh 27-24 in overtime, and Oakland stunned Cincinnati 20-17.

In Green Bay, Aaron Rodgers won a matchup between the top two quarterbacks of the 2005 NFL draft. Rodgers' Packers defeated Alex Smith and the San Francisco 49ers 30-24.

Indianapolis and New Orleans continued as the two remaining undefeated teams in the NFL, each improving to 10-0. The Colts survived the Ravens 18-15, while the Saints dominated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 38-7.
