Good morning, Chargers fans!

What a way to wake up on a Friday morning! And just before the holidays, too!

The Bolts gave their fan base an early Christmas present by beating the Broncos 34-27 on Thursday night, completing a season sweep of their divisional rival for the first time since the 2010 season. Los Angeles is now 9-6 with two more games to go against the Patriots (3-11) and Raiders (2-13). An 11-6 season is really on the table this year in a season many (including myself)...

Chargers-Broncos Game Recap: Bolts battle back, beat Denver 34-27

The Chargers faced a two-score deficit in the first half but battled back to score two fourth-quarter touchdowns en route to completing the season sweep of the Broncos.

Don’t call it a comeback.

The Chargers (9-6) were down 21-13 at halftime and did not necessarily look all that great for the first 30 minutes. You wouldn’t have been crazy to believe the team hadn’t yet gotten over their recent loss to the Bucs, but apparently that all finally got flushed at halftime because this was a new team in the final two quarters.

Los Angeles scored three times in the...

Chargers-Broncos Live Game Recap: Justin Herbert, Bolts look to complete season sweep of Denver

The Chargers beat the Broncos 23-16 earlier this season but now face a Denver team that is far from the same squad that struggled in October.

The Chargers beat the Broncos 23-16 in their first matchup of the season back in October. At that time, the Chargers moved to 3-2 and went on to win four of their next five. The Broncos, despite the loss, managed to turn things around fast and are currently on a four-game win streak.

At 9-5, Denver is the AFC’s No. 6 seed while the Chargers are in the final playoff spot at 8-6. This...

Chargers-Broncos Inactives: S Elijah Molden, CB Cam Hart OUT

Chargers-Broncos Inactives: S Elijah Molden, CB Cam Hart OUT

The Chargers will be without two key contributors in the secondary in Elijah Molden and Cam Hart.

The Chargers are welcoming back veteran linebacker Denzel Perryman to the lineup this week after missing multiple games but on the other side, they’ll be without two secondary members in Elijah Molden and Cam Hart.

Molden left Sunday’s game against the Bucs with a knee injury and Hart was ruled out quick after suffering another concussion.

Tight end Hayden Hurst was also activated off of injured reserve so he’ll join Stone Smartt in leading that position tonight.

Joining Molden and Hart on the...

Chargers-Broncos Final Injury Report: CB Cam Hart OUT, S Elijah Molden doubtful

The Chargers are likely without starting safety Elijah Molden against the Broncos due to a knee injury.

The Chargers dropped their final injury report of the short week. Let’s take a look, shall we?

First up, tight end Will Dissly and cornerback Cam Hart are both ruled out for Sunday’s game. Dissly is still dealing with a shoulder injury he suffered against the Chiefs and Hart has not progressed enough to return from his second concussion.

Safety Elijah Molden is the lone player with a doubtful tag. He suffered a knee injury late against the Bucs and did not record...

3 Storylines to watch in Chargers-Broncos: Gus Edwards’ tough running could be pivotal in defensive clash

Gus Edwards’ tough running could be pivotal in a defensive clash between the Chargers and Broncos.

This week is part two of Chargers-Broncos.

The Bolts got the best of Denver the first time around 23-17 after a furious comeback in the fourth quarter. Will this week be just as dramatic and exciting? Knowing thee teams, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Without further ado, here are the three storylines I’ll be following closely when these two teams take the field on Thursday

Chargers-Broncos Tuesday Injury Report: Kristian Fulton full, Zion Johnson DNP

Chargers CB Kristian Fulton improved to a full participant on Tuesday.

The Chargers held their first and what is likely their only full practice of the week on Tuesday and the injury report remains essentially unchanged from their estimated report from Monday.

Tight end Will Dissly (shoulder), cornerback Cam Hart (concussion), offensive guard Zion Johnson (ankle), safety Elijah Molden (knee), and defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia (pelvis) were all DNPs. Quarterback Justin Herbert was limited but later told reporters after practice that he intends to play on Thursday.
