AI RECAPIn a commanding performance, the Denver Broncos topped the Los Angeles Chargers 48-14 in Week 5 of the 2026 season. This victory not only solidifies Denver's standing in the league but also showcases their offensive firepower as they continue their push for the playoffs.
Quarterback Bo Nix led the charge for the Broncos, throwing for 175 yards and one touchdown. J.K. Dobbins was a force on the ground, racking up 117 rushing yards that helped keep the Chargers' defense on their heels. Meanwhile, Pat Bryant II emerged as a reliable target, finishing the game with 73 receiving yards.
On the defensive side, the Broncos made a significant impact with Alex Singleton intercepting two passes, turning the tide in Denver's favor.
