Evaluating whose stock is up and whose is down for the Denver Broncos after their pivotal AFC West win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Sunday’s matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers had quite the dramatic swing of implications for the Denver Broncos.

With a loss, the Broncos essentially could kiss any playoff hopes goodbye, as they would only fall further behind in a playoff race where multiple teams vying over a Wild Card spot owned a tie-breaker over Denver.

With a win, the Broncos would find themselves with an opportunity to compete for first place meeting up with the Kansas City Chiefs.

It was make-or-break for the Denver Broncos, and they capitalized under pressure, defeating the Los Angeles Chargers in a decisive 28-13 victory that keeps the Broncos’ playoff hopes alive. A huge loss by the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns boosted the Broncos’ standing in the Wild Card race.

Of course, there is a lot of season left. However, if for just this week only, the Broncos saw their playoff dreams continue, and that is a huge win considering how tumultuous the 2021 season has been thus far.

Of course, there were performances that changed the game or had the potential to. The Predominantly Orange stock report is back, with plenty of good news for this week.

Let’s get to the report.
