Bo Nix was the standout performer for Denver, throwing for 274 yards and three touchdowns, showcasing his ability to lead the offense effectively. He found a reliable target in Jaylen Waddle, who racked up an impressive 194 receiving yards, making key plays that kept the chains moving and the scoreboard ticking. Meanwhile, Omarion Hampton led the Chargers on the ground with 62 rushing yards, but it wasn't enough to outpace Denver's potent attack.
