"With that victory, the Chargers remained in first place in their division and are the only team in the AFC West with a winning record. This one was a battle between two of the better defenses in the NFL. After the opening drive field goal that the Chargers kicked to go up 3-0, these teams combined for six punts and an interception on their next seven series. There were only 70 yards of offense in the first quarter of this game."
"They cobbled together a ten-play, 54-yard drive that ended with a rushing touchdown by first-round draft pick Omarion Hampton. That was the first career TD of any kind for Hampton in the NFL. The Denver Broncos had no problem coming up with a response. On a 4th and 2 with 46 seconds left in the first half, quarterback Bo Nix hit wide receiver Courtland Sutton in stride for a 52-yard touchdown to narrow the gap and make it 10-7 going into the third quarter."
Both defenses dominated early, producing six punts and an interception across seven possessions and only 70 yards of first-quarter offense. Los Angeles took an early 3-0 lead and added a second-quarter touchdown by rookie Omarion Hampton, his first NFL score, during a ten-play, 54-yard drive. Denver answered with a 52-yard touchdown from Bo Nix to Courtland Sutton on fourth-and-2 before halftime. J.K. Dobbins opened the third quarter with a 19-yard touchdown run to give Denver the lead. A Chargers fumble on a kickoff set up a Denver field goal, and Los Angeles won on a 43-yard field goal as time expired.
