The Broncos will host the Los Angeles Chargers at Empower Field at Mile High on Sunday, Oct. 13, 2024 at 2:05 p.m. MT.
MATCHUP
The Broncos will host the Chargers in Week 6, marking the team's second consecutive divisional matchup of the 2024 season. Denver has beaten Los Angeles in the last three meetings between the two teams and will look to better this record on Sunday. The Broncos will also look to build on their three-game win streak in front of a home crowd before traveling for "Thursday Night Football" in Week 7.
The Week 6 matchup will bring together two of the top ranked scoring defenses in 2024, as the Chargers have allowed the fewest points per game (12.5), while the Broncos are tied for allowing the second fewest (14.6). Defensive end Zach Allen, who has the second-most quarterback hits in the NFL (12), and outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper, who leads the Broncos in sacks (4), will aim to disrupt quarterback Justin Herbert on Sunday.
Denver's secondary should also look to make an impact fueled by the play of cornerbacks Pat Surtain II and Riley Moss. Surtain recorded two interceptions in Week 5, including a pick six, and was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week. Moss also had a strong performance against the Raiders, recording the first interception of his NFL career. The cornerback duo could look to make more big plays in Week 6.
Offensively, Denver will aim to continue building positive momentum this week. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix is coming off his strongest performance of the season so far, setting career highs in completion percentage (70.4%), passing touchdowns (2) and passer rating (117.2) against the Raiders. Nix could look to running back Javonte Williams, who led the team in both rushing and receiving yards in Week 5, to make key plays. Nix could also aim to distribute the ball to wide receiver Courtland Sutton, who leads the team in receiving yards this season.
