• Things to look out for

Justin Herbert is still quiet

Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers fell to 8-6 after suffering their second consecutive loss on Sunday. The offense struggled significantly, failing to score in the second half while the Tampa Bay Buccaneers exploded for 27 points. With three games remaining, the Chargers must regroup for a playoff push.

Chargers need more offensive weapons 

The Chargers must make significant moves this offseason, regardless of postseason success. The 2025 free agent class features several talented wide receivers that could transform the team's offense. Securing one of these players could enhance Justin Herbert's aerial attack and elevate the Chargers' chances for success.

Bo Nix is still involved 

Nix led the Denver Broncos' rushing attack with 23 yards in their recent game. Despite struggling with a couple of interceptions, he rebounded impressively, throwing three touchdown passes. One of those touchdowns came late in the game to Courtland Sutton, helping the Broncos stay competitive throughout the matchup.

Broncos defence is still leading the way 

The Broncos defense delivered a strong performance against the Colts, allowing just 13 points on 310 total yards. They recorded two interceptions, two sacks, and three fumble recoveries, including a pivotal play where Jonathan Taylor fumbled before the goal line. A notable moment was a pick-six, ruled a fumble-six.
