It was nice to see the Broncos’ pass rush show up when needed most vs. Chargers

The Denver Broncos’ pass rush finally delivered a standout performance in their 23–17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, recording five sacks in the second half to help secure the victory. Despite struggling early in the season—ranking near the bottom in pressure rates, sacks, and quarterback hurry percentages—the unit turned the tide with a dominant late-game effort, pushing them back into the top 10 in sacks for the week.

The improvement came as a critical boost for head coach Vance Joseph, who had relied heavily on blitzes without generating consistent pressure. With the Broncos now 1–4 and facing the defending AFC champions next, this uptick in defensive production could be the turning point they need to regain momentum in the AFC West race.
