Chargers-Broncos Game Preview: 3 things to watch for in AFC West showdown

The Los Angeles Chargers enter this weekend’s AFC West showdown with the Denver Broncos as one of the NFL’s most precarious teams, sitting at 0-4 with little sign of improvement. Both squads rank near the bottom of league standings in offensive and defensive metrics, but the Chargers’ struggles have been compounded by a lack of turnovers—quarterback Justin Herbert has thrown three interceptions, while Bo Nix has managed just one in the same span, giving Denver a slight edge in that critical category.

The game at SoFi Stadium could serve as the Chargers’ best opportunity yet to secure their first win, especially against a Broncos offense that has failed to live up to expectations. With the AFC West’s top contenders looming on the schedule, a victory would not only provide a much-needed confidence boost but also push the Chargers to .500 in division play.

Meanwhile, the Broncos’ offensive line and Herbert’s accuracy will be under scrutiny, as their ability to sustain drives could determine which struggling offense prevails in a matchup that feels more competitive than the record suggests.
