EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — Jim Harbaugh's phrasebook knows no bounds. He's quoted everyone from Nelson Mandela to the Black Eyed Peas. The Los Angeles Chargers' first 3-0 start since 2002 had their coach reaching back to the French Revolution for his latest plaudits.

Led by Justin Herbert, the Chargers made a gutsy fourth-quarter comeback to beat the Denver Broncos 23-20 on Sunday for a third consecutive win over an AFC West opponent.

“I think it was Napoleon Bonaparte who said, ‘Morale is to the physical as three is to one,’ and boy, it won’t hurt morale and in confidence and just knowing what’s inside, man,” Harbaugh said. “There’s gravel in the gut. We don’t want to go down or stay the same, we want to keep climbing.”

The schedule makes it seem possible.
