Chargers vs. Broncos: Live updates, score, results, highlights, for Sunday's NFL game
Live scores, highlights and updates from the Chargers vs. Broncos football game
The Los Angeles Chargers will look to defend their home field on Sunday against the Denver Broncos at 4:25 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium. The Chargers will be strutting in after a victory while the Broncos will be stumbling in from a defeat.
Even though Los Angeles has not done well against New England recently (they were 0-4 in their previous four matchups), they didn't let the past get in their way on Sunday. The Chargers didn't even let the Patriots onto the board and left with a 6-0 win. The win was some much needed relief for Los Angeles as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak.
The team won by holding the Patriots to a paltry 257 yards. A big part of that defensive dominance came down to the Chargers' ability to keep the quarterback under pressure: the team laid the passer out five times before it was all said and done. Khalil Mack was particularly dangerous to the passing game, picking up two sacks himself.
Meanwhile, Denver unfortunately witnessed the end of their five-game winning streak on Sunday. They took a 22-17 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Texans.
Nobody from Denver had a standout game, but they got scores from Courtland Sutton and Russell Wilson.
Even though they lost, the Broncos played a clean game and finished the game with eight penalty yards. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as the Texans lost 81.
The losses dropped Los Angeles to 5-7 and New England to 2-10.
Going forward, the Chargers are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 2.5 points.
Los Angeles couldn't quite finish off Denver when the teams last played back in January and fell 31-28. A big factor in that loss was the dominant performance of the Broncos' Wilson, who threw for 283 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 11.8 yards per attempt. Now that the Chargers knows the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
