San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers has admitted that his team do not have the quality to match up against the best teams in the AFC conference yet.
The Chargers lost for the second week in a row at home to one of the top seeds in their conference as they fell to a 22-10 loss to the Denver Broncos at Qualcomm Stadium.
Rivers told reporters: "We're not in their company yet. We're just not. That doesn't mean I don't believe we can be, or don't believe we can beat them.
"I believe we can. But those are the two teams that beat us in the last two weeks. They're first and second in the AFC, so it's not like we've lost to the bottom of the barrel."
The Chargers are 8-6 in their season following their loss to the Broncos.
