Week 6 Continued

Broncos vs. Chargers

The other rivalry game this week in the division was the Broncos and Chargers game in San Diego. This was a hard game for the Broncos to play because they did not have their head coach, Gary Kubiak, calling the plays and the shots. Gary Kubiak was not coaching at this game because he was in the process of recuperating from surgery. With that being said this is one of the factors to why the Broncos lost this game.

The Broncos did have their starting quarterback, Trevor Siemian, back this week, and he had a okay performance. He threw for 230 yards and had a touchdown pass, which was better that Philip Rivers 178 yards and one touchdown pass, but it was not enough to get the job done. The player that really made a difference in this game was the Chargers' kicker, Josh Lambo. Lambo was able to kick four field goals to secure his team a win against this Broncos team. The Chargers' defense also came out to play in the second half where they were able get a safety in the fourth quarter, and this also helped the team make sure that they stayed ahead at the end of the game. This is a good way for the Chargers to try and come back and have a decent season with a winning record because the team has had a rocky start, and this is a good confidence booster. However, for the Broncos this was a disappointing loss, which continued a 2 game losing streak that hopefully the Broncos can get out of soon. The final score of the game was the Chargers winning by 13-21.

Here is a picture that shows a pass to Bennie Fowler from Trevor Siemian in this game.
