"At the moment for Broncos wide receiver Eddie Royal, making history is history.

But the last time Royal played on a Monday night in San Diego, he became the 11th player in NFL history to return a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the same game.

"I didn't know at the time what it meant," Royal said. "I had no idea. Really, I was just happy we won. I was just happy to contribute."

Last October, in what was the sixth victory of the Broncos' 6-0 start in 2009, Royal returned a first-quarter kickoff 93 yards to tie the game at 7-7, then he returned a punt 71 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter for a 17-10 Broncos lead. Denver won 34-23."
