3 keys to victory for the Broncos against the Chargers
Keys to a Week 5 win for the Denver Broncos over a winless Los Angeles Chargers team.
The Denver Broncos will face the Los Angeles Chargers in a crucial Week 5 matchup. Denver's head coach, Sean Payton, is returning to his play-calling duties, having previously been overseen by offensive coordinator Davis Webb. Key to the Broncos' success will be applying consistent pressure on Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert.
The Chargers have allowed 12 sacks this season, the most among the top three teams in the league. Quarterback Bo Nix must also make swift, decisive decisions, overcoming his tendency to hesitate, as demonstrated by his performance against the San Francisco 49ers last week. Finally, the Broncos' offense, which has struggled despite playoff aspirations, can only improve by avoiding big plays to average players.
Instead, they should target Chargers' less experienced wide receivers, Quentin Johnston and Tre Harris, who are expected to be replaced by Jahdae Barron and Kris Abrams-Draine.
