Los Angeles Chargers vs. Denver Broncos NFL Week 5 Live Updates, Highlights, and Analysis

Oct 11, 2026, updated 13 min agoA battle of must-wins between the Los Angeles Chargers and the Denver Broncos.
The Chargers enter this matchup in unfamiliar territory with a 0-4 record. Quarterback Justin Herbert is off to a rough start, throwing more interceptions (six) than touchdowns (four). He looks like a shell of himself right now. The Chargers offense has sputtered under the new offensive coordinator, Mike McDaniels.
With poor play and injuries piling up, the Chargers need something positive to hang their hats on.
On the other hand, the Broncos are fighting to stay above 500. Coming into this game, head coach Sean Payton is taking over play-calling from offensive coordinator Davis Webb. This change is necessary because the Broncos rank 27th in both total offense and scoring.
This game will give one of these struggling teams a stone to step on as they hope to rise. Let's all pray it is at least entertaining.

The Denver Broncos need to establish a consistent, effective rushing attack. Currently, they rank 29th in the league, averaging a pedestrian 81.3 rushing yards per game. This will take pressure off Bo Nix and the passing attack.
