The Denver Broncos won the opening coin toss again for what seems like the 100th time this season and, predictably, elected to defer possession to the second half where they have started the third quarter with a three and out in nine games this season.
For the Los Angeles Chargers, they opened their first drive with back-to-back carries by Austin Ekeler for 12 yards. However, they faced a third and seven two plays later where Justin Herbert rolled outside where he was chased down and sacked by Alex Singleton to force a punt.
