Chargers player to watch

QB Justin Herbert suffered from a high right ankle sprain in his last two starts but should be in better shape after the bye week. The Chargers passed the ball on just 47% of their plays, the second-lowest rate in the league. Of the 11 games in which Herbert didn’t pass for at least 200 yards, there were four this season. It was in last season’s game against the Broncos in Week 14 when Herbert suffered a season-ending broken finger. In three games in Denver, Herbert passed for seven touchdowns and was sent off four times.

Broncos player to watch

QB Bo Nix. The rookie had his best game yet, throwing two touchdowns and rushing for another in Denver’s win over the Raiders, who lost eight games to Las Vegas. Nix hasn’t thrown an interception since Week 2 and was sacked just three times during Denver’s three-game winning streak. He’ll have to make do with a makeshift offensive line this week with two starters and one backup.

Key match

The Chargers’ strong front seven against the Broncos’ resurgent running back Javonte Williams, who has his first 100-yard game from scrimmage since the 2022 opener in Seattle. He ran for 61 yards on 13 carries against Las Vegas and caught five passes for 50 yards.

Major injuries

Chargers: LB Joey Bosa could miss his second straight game with a nagging hip problem. … OT Joe Alt (knee) and OT Rashawn Slater (chest) were limited in practice but could be back after missing the game against Kansas City. … LB Junior Colson (hamstring) has missed the last two games.

Broncos: The Broncos are preparing C Alex Forsyth and RT Matt Peart to take on the Chargers’ formidable defensive front. They lost RT Alex Palczewski and C Luke Wattenberg to sprained ankles against the Raiders. Palczewski had played well and replaced RT Mike McGlinchey, who is entering his fourth week on IR with a knee injury.

Notes on the series

The Broncos have won seven of the last 10 meetings, including the last three. These AFC West rivals have only met once in the playoffs, a 24-17 Broncos win in the 2013 AFC Divisional Round.

Fantasy tip

Both defenses are outstanding, but the Broncos have a better cornerback group with star Surtain, first-year starter Riley Moss and 2023 nickelback Ja’Quan McMillian. Moss had two pass breakups and his first career interception in Week 5. He also had his first career fumble recovery in Week 4 and his first career forced fumble in Week 3.
