The Denver Broncos will need a big bounce back game this week. They will take on Justin Herbert and the Chargers in Los Angeles to conclude week 6.
Unfortunately, the road has not been too kind to them in their division as of late.
The Broncos have lost eight straight games on the road against AFC West opponents.
To say they have struggled, that would be an understatement.
That being said, this game is massive for their season. A loss would drop them to 2-4. The Chargers would rise to 4-2 and sustain their second place spot in the division.
If the Broncos pull off the upset, they would grab second place in the AFC West at 3-3.
Clearly, both teams need this game badly. It is the most important game for each so far in the young season.
The Broncos' secondary will need to continue to shine against the talented pass catchers for the Chargers.
The defensive line may be the most important piece for the Broncos, though. The Chargers' offensive line has struggled at times, so the pass rush needs to be effective for Denver.
They have gotten consistent pressure in the past few weeks. That needs to continue for the Broncos to break this rough losing streak in their division.
On offense, something has to start to click.
Russell Wilson has not looked like himself, and HC Nathaniel Hackett has not done him any favors. The two need to be at the top of their game in order to outscore Los Angeles.
