The Denver Broncos' five-game winning streak came to a halt in Week 13 against the Houston Texans, but they have a chance to get back on track in Week 14 against a very subpar Los Angeles Chargers unit.
Still, this is a divisional game. Meaning, anything can happen since these two teams know each other. Even if Sean Payton wasn't coaching the team in 2022, a good chunk of these two rosters went after each other twice and that means something in 2023.
Will you be able to watch the game on TV? If you live in the blue areas on the map below you'll get this game on your local CBS channels, according to 506sports.com:
The Broncos-Chargers game (blue) is competing with just one other game on CBS' late schedule and it's the rival Kansas City Chiefs' matchup with the Buffalo Bills that's slated to dominate national TV coverage. And, it makes sense. The Chiefs-Bills rivalry has produced some iconic moments over the years and features two of the game's best quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen
Regardless, if you don't live in the blue areas, you won't be able to catch the game on local TV channels. Of course, there are plenty of other ways to watch in today's world. If you have YouTube TV, there's obviously the Sunday Ticket package that comes with it. There are other streaming sites such as FuboTV, DAZN, and others, as well.
And, if you don't want to deal with any of that – you can always listen to the game on the Broncos Radio Network.
This is the first game in a crucial Broncos stretch
Three of Denver's final games are AFC West games and four of the five are AFC games. The only non-AFC game is Week 15's matchup against the Detroit Lions. But even then, every game matters for this 6-6 Broncos team, who is currently holding onto the No. 9 spot in the AFC.
This week comes with a little bit of bad news for the Broncos: Even if they win, they won't improve their standing in the playoff race. The Pittsburgh Steelers are in front of them and even though both teams would be 7-6, the Steelers have a better conference record, which is the first applicable tiebreaker between the two teams. Therefore, Payton and co. will remain stagnant going into Week 15.
Regardless, this is a must-win for the Broncos. If they lose, they could drop all the way to No. 13 if the chips fall a certain way. That, along with what's in front of them, would make it very hard to make the postseason. Right now, the Broncos have a 30% chance at making the playoffs, so a loss would severely affect those odds.
Payton has done an admirable job of turning the 2023 season around, but it can all dissipate in the blink of an eye if the Broncos don't beat the Chargers on Sunday.
