The Denver Broncos faced a tough battle against the Los Angeles Chargers, ultimately losing 23-16. Despite a late-game surge, their inability to create explosive plays hindered a full comeback. Player performances varied, with quarterback Bo Nix struggling for most of the game but improving late. Running back Javonte Williams faced challenges, while the receivers showed promise despite inconsistent play.

The defense had standout performances from Malcolm Roach and Zach Allen, but some players struggled, particularly in the secondary with the absence of Patrick Surtain II. The Broncos now face pressure to win their next two games to stay competitive.
