The Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers get Week 16 of NFL action started on Thursday Night Football on Prime. It’s a classic AFC West showdown, with both teams clinging to playoff spots at the back half of postseason seeding.
The 9-5 Broncos off a bit of that “surprise team” this season with rookie quarterback Bo Nix finding his rhythm in the second half of the year. As for the Chargers, their 8-6 record would have them in the tournament if the playoffs began today. But they can ill-afford another loss if they hope to make a run at things come January.
