The Denver Broncos face the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Here are five things they need to do to come away victorious.

It is always an entertaining matchup when the Denver Broncos faceoff against the Los Angeles Chargers (formerly based in San Diego).

A lot of great players have passed through both cities through the years. For the Broncos, it currently is Von Miller leading the way. He is, and has been, the team’s best player since entering the league. Well, at least on defense. On offense, it’s a different story (cough, Peyton Manning, cough).

When the Broncos head to Los Angeles, they will be going up against one of the top offenses in the league. Phillip Rivers is on a roll. He has 2,459 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns and only four interceptions in 2018.

Both teams have a lot of changes since the last met. For the Broncos, the last time they faced the Chargers, Case Keenum was quarterbacking the Minnesota Vikings during their stellar season.

Denver had Trevor Siemian, who threw for 207 yards and an interception during the 21-0 loss.

Running back CJ Anderson is no longer in Denver. His last matchup against the Chargers in a Broncos uniform saw him run ten times for 44 yards. Now, the Broncos have rookies Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman running the rock.

Without further ado, here are five keys to a Denver Broncos win against Los Angeles.
