Story summary

On October 11, the Denver Broncos (3-2) defeated the Los Angeles Chargers (0-5) at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The Chargers started with a decimated offensive line featuring four rookies and veteran Cole Strange protecting quarterback Justin Herbert, who threw for 121 yards with one touchdown and an interception while being sacked five times. Despite trailing by as many as 17 points earlier in the game, the Broncos staged a comeback led by kicker Wil Lutz’s go-ahead field goal with 5:07 left to secure their first AFC West win since 2023. The Chargers face another tough opponent, the Kansas City Chiefs, in Week 6.
