Denver Won. That Doesn’t Mean Sean Payton Fixed the Offense.
NFL / WEEK 5
Broncos 23, Chargers 17: Denver’s defense and three Los Angeles turnovers decided this one.
IN THIS STORYTHE BREAKDOWN
Denver scored 13 unanswered fourth-quarter points to beat the Chargers 23-17. Bo Nix threw for 123 yards, and Denver totaled just 224 yards of offense. Los Angeles committed three turnovers.
6ix Take: I’m not pretending Sean Payton fixed Denver’s offense overnight. The Broncos won because their defense created opportunities and the Chargers couldn’t finish. That matters, but it isn’t sustainable every week.

Denver deserves credit for responding late, but this is a win that should come with a long offensive film session. The Chargers have their own questions after another close loss.
