Chargers Beat Broncos 34-27, Near Playoffs

The Los Angeles Chargers mounted a remarkable comeback to defeat the Denver Broncos 34-27, securing their playoff hopes. Trailing 24-13 in the third quarter, quarterback Justin Herbert threw two crucial touchdown passes, including a go-ahead score to Derius Davis in the fourth quarter. The Chargers also made history with Cameron Dicker's successful 57-yard fair-catch kick, the first in the NFL in 48 years, which pulled them closer at halftime. Both teams now sit at 9-6, with the Chargers needing losses by the Miami Dolphins and Indianapolis Colts to clinch a playoff spot. The Broncos, who had a chance to secure their first postseason berth since 2015, saw their four-game winning streak come to an end and face tough remaining games. Denver's Bo Nix threw for 263 yards and two touchdowns but ultimately could not maintain their early lead.
