The Los Angeles Chargers scored three second-half touchdowns to overcome a double-digit deficit and defeat their AFC West rival, the Denver Broncos, 34-27 on Thursday night at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
With the victory, the Chargers bolstered their chances at a playoff berth to 97%, according to NFL.com. Los Angeles can clinch a ticket to the postseason if the Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts both lose on Sunday. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert completed 23-of-31 throws for 284 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, while running back Gus Edwards added 68 yards on the ground and two touchdowns in the victory.
It’s the first one we’ve made, we tried one with the 49ers I think it was like a 70-yarder or something … It is my favorite rule and Cam Dicker stepped up and nailed it and I thought that was a huge, good momentum. Got the momentum back going into halftime.” In the second half, the Chargers continued to dial in.
