A week after 30 players missed the Los Angeles Chargers game with the Houston Texans, the Broncos head to L.A. without at least 13 of their own to try and spoil a rival’s playoff hopes.

If Fangio can’t find a way win out he will finish his third season with the most losses of any Broncos’ coach through three seasons. Should Denver lose both of the next two games this 2021 campaign will go down as the fifth straight losing season, the worst mark since the franchise’s 17-year streak after inception in the 1960’s.
