Los Angeles Chargers complete comeback to beat Denver Broncos The Los Angeles Chargers came from 11 points down in the third quarter to beat AFC West and wildcard rivals the Denver Broncos 34-27.
Bo Nix, who threw for 263 yards, connected with Michael Burton and Devaughn Vele from close range for scores as the Broncos took a 21-10 lead in the second quarter, Cameron Dicker landing a 37-yard field goal between those scores.
Dicker grabbed his second score on the brink of half-time as the Chargers took advantage of a rarely-used rule – connecting from 57 yards with a fair-catch kick, which allows teams to take a shot at goal from the line of scrimmage after a fair catch from a punt.
Wil Lutz stretched the lead back out to 11 with a 41-yard field goal in the third quarter, Edwards’ second rushing score from five yards making it 24-19.
Justin Herbert threw touchdown passes to Derius Davis and Hassan Hawkins in the fourth quarter as the Chargers pulled alongside the Broncos at 9-6.
