It’s round two of Chargers-Broncos this week. This time, they’re playing under the lights on Thursday Night Football.
In their first matchup, the Chargers survived a fourth-quarter comeback attempt by the Broncos to leave Mile High with a 23-16 victory. The thing is, that was a different Broncos team. Since that loss, Denver has gone 6-2. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix seems to have gotten things to click and he’s playing well enough to complement their elite defense.
The Chargers have gone 5-4 since that matchup with losses in three of their last four. They still have a good chance at the playoffs, but this game may end up deciding which of these teams are the sixth or seventh seeds.
