The Denver Broncos need this win against the Los Angeles Chargers today in order to keep pace with the rest of the AFC West. The Chargers are dealing with a ton of injuries and are nowhere near full strength on either side of the ball. Denver has to come out and put up a lead early and let their pass rush pin their ears back in this game.
Kickoff is set for 2:05 p.m. Mile High time on Sunday, October 11, 2026 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California. You can watch the live stream of the game through FuboTV or on CBS. The game will be called by Ian Eagle (play-by-play), Ross Tucker (analyst), and Evan Washburn (sideline). You can also check local Broncos radio network affiliate stations.

Broncos vs. Chargers score predictions
The Broncos should obliterate the Chargers this weekend. They are down nearly every starter on the offensive line and are missing guys all up and down that roster heading into this game. There is no reason why they shouldn’t feast on Justin Herbert’s dropbacks. Which means this game is going to be way too close for comfort and we’re going to have anxiety all the way down to the final minutes of the game where I still think Denver comes out with the win — if barely.

4.28 seconds of hang time for Jeremy Crawshaw on his second punt of the day. A 1-yard return as JL Skinner comes roaring downfield for the stop. 50 yards gross, 49 net.

A 10-play, 33-yard drive gets the Chargers on the board, but Denver's defense buckled down when LA got in scoring range.

The Broncos have allowed the Chargers to convert just 1-of-5 third downs.
Broncos 7, Chargers 3.
My estimate of the crowd today:
— Andrew Mason (@MaseDenver) October 11, 2026
55 percent Broncos fans
30 percent Chargers fans
15 percent no-shows
3rd and 1..

A toss to Dobbins looks JUST short. We'll see, yeah, it's 4th and inches.
Call STANDS

Broncos first down!
Harbaugh is challenging the play and believes the pass was tipped.
— MileHighReport (@MileHighReport) October 11, 2026
Looks like it may have brushed the arm of the Chargers DL
Ruling on the field STANDS. Looked like it hit the DLs arm but Chargers are now out of challenges

Wil Lutz boots a 34-yard FG for 10-3 Broncos lead

Bo Nix underthrows Jaylen Waddle, who works back to the ball and draws a 37-yard DPI penalty. Chargers penalties one of the best ways for Denver to move the ball and keep drives alive today.

Nix sacked AND FUMBLE but Broncos recover
