Los Angeles Chargers vs Denver Broncos: Can the Chargers end the Broncos streak?
The Los Angeles Chargers are visiting the Denver Broncos at Mile High Stadium on Sunday.
Can the Chargers bounce back?
The Los Angeles Chargers are third in the AFC West with a 2-2 record. They are coming off a 17-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. They had a chance to take the lead early in the fourth quarter against the Cheifs but Justin Herbert’s pass to Hayden Hurst was incomplete. Justin Herbert, who was 16 of 27 for 179 yards with a touchdown, was sacked twice and hit 10 times on 31 dropbacks.
The Broncos are on a three-game winning streak
The Denver Broncos are second in the AFC West with a 3-2 record. After losing the first two games of the season, they won the following three. Denver is coming off a 34-18 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Denver was down 10-0 after the first quarter but it was all Broncos for the rest of the way. Rookie Bo Nix was under a lot of pressure connecting for only 60 tards in the previous game, but went for 19 of 27 for 206 yards, two TDs and no interceptions.

Prediction and Conclusion
After winning their last three games, the Denver Broncos are currently among the league’s hottest teams. They had lost eight straight games, or every game since the Raiders relocated to Las Vegas, until they triumphed over them last week. After waiting a long time for this victory, they finally did so, scoring 34 points, their most in a game since December 2021. With two straight losses, the Chargers are in a totally different position, and Denver does not appear to be a team that they can bounce back against. The Chargers lost both games to the Broncos despite scoring a total of 16 points. Denver is tied for second place in the NFL in scoring defense this season, having allowed just 11.8 points per game since a Week 1 loss to the Seahawks. This defensive performance is very impressive. In this game, both quarterbacks have a lot on the line. Justin Herbert of the Chargers suffered a high ankle sprain during a string of defeats, but he is said to be fully recovered. Bo Nix of the Broncos has been having trouble; he ranks 30th in the NFL with an average of 168.3 passing yards per game. In any case, we believe the Broncos will prevail because they are the stronger team overall, have home court advantage, and are currently riding high.
