Chargers Face Broncos in Playoff Showdown

The upcoming Thursday Night Football matchup features the Los Angeles Chargers hosting the Denver Broncos, with playoff implications for both teams. The Chargers, sitting at 8-6, must rebound from a recent 40-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while the Broncos, currently 9-5, can clinch a playoff spot with a victory. Chargers center Sam Mustipher and tight end Eric Tomlinson will face their former team, adding a personal element to the rivalry. The Chargers' offense has struggled significantly since losing running back J.K. Dobbins, averaging only 60.7 rushing yards over the past three games. Conversely, the Broncos can also secure a playoff berth through other scenarios, including losses by competing teams. The game is set to kick off at 8:15 p.m. and will be available on Prime Video.
