The Denver Broncos lost to the Los Angeles Chargers because of two significant reasons:
- Poor coaching all around from the Broncos
- One-sided refereeing that favored the Chargers deeply
I’m not going to spend a ton of time on point #2 as that’s just the NFL (and our own John Holmes goes into it at a far greater depth than I am capable of). You have to deal with bad ref jobs, though it honestly puzzles me to see such favoritism paid to the lowly Chargers.
