7 Things we learned from Broncos comeback win vs Chargers

The Denver Broncos delivered another late-game thriller, overcoming a sluggish first three quarters to defeat the Los Angeles Chargers 23-17 on Sunday. The win marked their third in five games and kept the Chargers winless at 0-5, with Justin Herbert struggling to find traction against a Broncos defense that stepped up decisively in the fourth quarter.

After allowing a late third-quarter touchdown, Denver’s unit turned the tide, forcing three turnovers and recording four of their five sacks in the final frame—including a game-sealing strip-sack by Zach Allen. Edge rusher Nik Bonitto led the charge with two sacks, four tackles, and three tackles for loss, while the entire pass rush dominated Herbert, who had shown little progress earlier in the game.

Meanwhile, Bo Nix and the Broncos offense finally found their rhythm late, with the running game playing a key role in sparking the fourth-quarter surge. The pattern of late-game heroics continues for Denver, though consistency earlier in contests remains a critical challenge for Nix and the offense moving forward.
