Denver Broncos vs San Diego Chargers Preview

In what has become an all-too-familiar scenario, the San Diego Chargers find themselves in danger of falling way behind in the AFC West race. And while a loss to the rival Denver Broncos on Monday night at Qualcomm Stadium would not be a fatal blow for the Chargers, Norv Turner’s squad would certainly find themselves reaching for the ropes.

The Broncos beat New England 20-17 in overtime last Sunday to improve to 5-0 for the first time since opening with 13 straight wins in 1998, their last Super Bowl season. This is the fifth time Denver has opened with five consecutive wins and each of the previous times the team ended up in the Super Bowl.

While everything seems to be clicking for Denver, the Chargers are off to another slow start.

San Diego limped into last week’s bye following a discouraging 38-28 loss at Pittsburgh on Oct. 4. The Chargers fell behind 28-0 and surrendered 497 total yards to the defending Super Bowl champions.

San Diego (2-2) won the mediocre West with an 8-8 record last season, thanks in large part to the Broncos’ historic collapse. Denver (5-0) lost its final three games while the Chargers won their last four, including a 52-21 victory over the Broncos in the regular-season finale.

UPDATE:

Denver Broncos defeated San Diego Chargers 34-23 on Monday Night Football Game Week 6. This is the fifth time the Broncos have been 6-0, the first since going 13-0 in 1998 en route to winning their second straight Super Bowl behind John Elway.

The Broncos opened a 3 1/2-game lead in the AFC West over three-time defending division champion San Diego (2-3). Denver held San Diego to 104 yards of offense in the second half.

Next week (October 26) on Monday Night Football Week 7 game is Philadelphia Eagles vs Washington Redskins.
