Los Angeles: The Chargers really turned things around against the Broncos. After a rough first half, they came back strong to win 34-27 at SoFi Stadium. It was a must-win game for them to keep their playoff hopes alive.
Justin Herbert was on fire, throwing for 284 yards and two touchdowns. The Chargers also finally got their running game going, racking up over 100 yards for the first time in a while. Gus Edwards led the charge with 68 rushing yards.
Things didn’t start well, though. The Broncos scored on their first three drives, and Herbert even had a pass picked off at the one-yard line. But then came a wild moment: Cameron Dicker nailed a 57-yard field goal on a fair catch kick, a play you rarely see in the NFL.
That kick gave the Chargers a boost going into halftime, trailing 21-13. They came out strong in the second half, holding the Broncos to just two field goals after their hot start. Herbert connected with Derius Davis for a touchdown that put the Chargers ahead.
It was a rollercoaster of a game, but the Chargers showed they could fight back when it mattered. With this win, they’re back in the playoff race, and fans are feeling hopeful again.
