Chargers Edge Broncos 34-27 on TNF

In a thrilling Thursday Night Football matchup, the Los Angeles Chargers defeated the Denver Broncos 34-27, overcoming a halftime deficit. Denver initially dominated the game with Bo Nix throwing two touchdown passes, but failed to score a touchdown in the second half, managing only two field goals. The Chargers, led by a strong second-half performance from Justin Herbert and a critical touchdown from running back Haskins, capitalized on Denver's offensive struggles. This loss leaves the Broncos needing a win in one of their last two games to secure a playoff spot, despite their promising first-half performance. The game also featured a unique fair catch free kick, the first successful attempt since 1976, which helped narrow the score before halftime. With this victory, the Chargers are closer to clinching a playoff berth, while the Broncos face mounting pressure in their final games.
