The Denver Broncos needed to make a statement.
And not the kind the Broncos made against the Philadelphia Eagles. Denver was very much in the hunt for the playoffs and the AFC West, but to “keep hope alive” it needed to beat the Los Angeles Chargers. There was doubt over which team would should up on Sunday. The one that beat the Dallas Cowboys? Or the one everyone saw against the Eagles?
The Broncos did that in emphatic fashion with a dominating 28-13 win on Sunday. Now at 6-5 on the season, Denver is still in the hunt for the playoffs and the division.
