Just-In: Broncos Unveils Systemic Strategy to Respond against the Chargers

The Denver Broncos travel to Los Angeles to face the Chargers, and how they fare will speak much about their tenacity.

The Denver Broncos play the Los Angeles Chargers on the road again this weekend. This week’s perspective will be how mentally healthy the squad is following their loss in Houston.

In recent years, the Broncos have frequently allowed a single loss to become numerous losses in a row. Will the Broncos be able to recover this season?

Games in Los Angeles have typically seen our fans travel well, making them appear more winnable than typical away games. Offensively, the Chargers are in tatters. Even with their much-touted “franchise” quarterback, they only managed 6 points last week.

That looks like a team that this Broncos defense can handle by just playing sound football. If we can hold them to under 20, the Broncos should be able to get back on track.

If for some strange reason, the Broncos do lose, their playoff chances will have likely been thrown in the trash. I’m honestly thankful we’re this late in the season and have meaningful games being played.
