Here’s how the Broncos can beat the Chargers on Sunday

The last time the Los Angeles Chargers were able to beat the Denver Broncos was back in October of 2022 when they won in overtime. Since then Los Angeles has dropped three straight to Denver, with the last game ending with the Broncos on top 16-9 back on the last day of 2023.

And while there’s a lot of changes heading into the 130th match up between these two teams, the end result should remain similar to the previous three.

Here’s how the Broncos beat the Chargers on Sunday.

For Week 5 of the NFL season, Mile High Report’s Christopher Hart picked just 8 of 14 games correctly. Here are his straight up picks for Week 6.

Week 5 of the NFL season is in the book. My picks last week were just average. I picked just 8 of 14 games correctly. That’s above .500, but certainly not the mark that I was hoping for. Nevertheless, another week of gridiron actions provides another opportunity to be better at guessing.

For the season, I’m sitting at 44-34. This week there are only 14 matchups with the bye weeks officially kicking...

Saints-Chiefs draws 15.9 million for non-ABC Monday night game | NBC Sports

On a Monday night that didn’t include an ABC simulcast, a so-so game between the Saints and Chiefs drew an audience of 15.9 million for the ESPN/ESPN2 simulcast. That’s an impressive number for ESPN/ESPN2 only.

Of that number, 1.4 million watched the ManningCast. That’s 8.8 percent of the total audience.

That’s a good sign for the alternate broadcast, which had numbers so low in Week 1 (872,000) that the ESPN/ABC press release didn’t even...

After starting the season off 0-2, the Denver Broncos have reeled off three victories in a row. A win against the Los Angeles Chargers would extend that streak to four.

Good morning, Broncos Country.

The Denver Broncos didn’t start off their 2024 season on the right foot. After enduring back-to-back losses to the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers, fans across Broncos Country had lost a lot of hope with their beloved team stumbling out the gate.

But you know what gets hope back? Wins—the thrill of victory. Over the past three weeks, the Broncos have reeled off three in a...

A lot of members of Broncos Country are trying to establish a nickname for the Denver Broncos top cornerback tandem, Patrick Surtain II and Riley Moss. When it comes to their play on the outside against some of the NFL’s best receivers, there’s an argument to be made that their production is at a high level right now compared to other teams. In our latest Denver Broncos Film Room, we look at their biggest plays from Sunday’s win against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Is Denver Broncos CB duo one of the NFL’s best in 2024

Starting Las Vegas running back Zamir White was among those who didn’t practice Wednesday. He hurt his groin in practice last week and did not play at Denver. Alexander Mattison started in his place and would likely start against the Steelers if White isn’t ready.

Well, here we are again.

The Las Vegas Raiders are experiencing flux at quarterback for the second straight season after they moved away from the nine-year Derek Carr era.

Coaching staff switches to second-year player

The Las Vegas Raiders named second-year player Aidan O’Connell as their starting quarterback, replacing Gardner Minshew, beginning Sunday at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Here are some thoughts on the decision:

This was the clear choice:

It was always likely that the Raiders were going to turn to O’Connell after he replaced Minshew at Denver. It would have been a bad look if the Raiders gave Minshew the ball against the Steelers. Neither have looked good this season when they’ve played. But the Raiders are looking for a spark. It’s O’Connell turn to try...

Pretty quiet day in Denver
