Broncos’ Biggest Studs & Duds in 24-7 Win Over Chargers

he 1-5 Denver Broncos seems like such a long time ago. It was difficult to imagine that the Broncos could be challenging for an AFC West title back then, but the reality is they’re only one game out of first place in the division.

The Broncos kept pace with the playoff race with a convincing win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Denver finds itself in the mix and only a game out of first place in the AFC West.

Give this team credit for figuring out the winning combination and for being resilient. After the Broncos’ seventh victory of the year, let’s analyze the players who performed exceptionally well and a few who still have room for improvement.

The Broncos could have folded up the tents long ago and given up hope, especially after the close loss to the Houston Texans, but they didn’t. Credit has to go to the head coach.

Payton turned this team around and has them believing that they can win. That was evident in this victory over the Chargers.

Adversity hit early in this contest, but the team stood strong, won, and forced its way into the playoff competition. This team knows it can win, and it proved it with a significant bounce-back performance.

Payton had a solid game plan and made many correct play calls on offense. Finally, a winning culture has been established after several years of mediocrity.
