Devon Walker: "Denver's passing game was simply another level: 342 yards to Los Angeles's 42, with Jaylen Waddle untouchable at 195 yards and 3 touchdowns. When one offense can do that to a defense, 21 points feels about right." Sierra Vaughn: "The Chargers ran the ball 24 times and still lost by 21 — Herbert threw 3 interceptions and completed 42 passing yards, which tells you Los Angeles never had a chance to keep pace once Denver's passing game took over."

Denver put this one away early and often. Bo Nix went 16 for 25 for 342 yards and 4 touchdowns, with Jaylen Waddle catching 8 of those for 195 yards and 3 scores, and the Broncos won 48-27 by controlling the air—342 passing yards to Los Angeles's 42—while the Chargers coughed it up 4 times and got nothing from Justin Herbert, who threw 3 interceptions. Derrick Henry ran for 181 yards on 22 carries to keep the Bolts honest on the ground, but it wasn't nearly enough to overcome a Denver offense that looked like the better team at every level.

35-28, and neither defence wants to watch it back. Ashton Jeanty carried the load for Raiders — 31 carries, 236 yards, 2 TD — in a losing effort. Justin Herbert threw for Chargers — 9/12, 227 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT. On the ground: Raiders 238, Chargers 139.

Cardinals had no answer. Chargers took it 31-6. Justin Herbert did the damage for Chargers — 13/21, 244 yards, 3 TD. George Kittle did the catching for Chargers — 5 catches, 95 yards, 3 TD. Through the air: Chargers 244, Cardinals 42.
