RT: The @Broncos open the scoring with an Audric Estime TD! #DENvsLAC on Prime Video Also streaming on #NFLPlus https://t.co/GGilCjO15H
Broncos elevated defensive end Matt Henningsen and running back Blake Watson for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers
ALERT ALERT! 🚨 The @TNFPrimeVision w/@NextGenStats NEW Pressure Alert feature powered by AI identified linebacker Drew Sanders as the pass rusher most likely to create pressure from the A-gap. Sanders got to Herbert for the sack just 2.4 seconds after the snap. pic.x.com/oxkKTQaW1h
The Broncos stonewalled the Chargers on third down, but how about Cody Barton on the second down play to get off a block on the screen and tackle Stone short of the marker?
Nik Bonitto with a two-point tackle. Add it to the resumé.
Kris Abrams-Draine's first career INT is only the third pick thrown by Herbert this season.
The Broncos get a field goal to open the third quarter. They've scored on four of six possessions tonight. The catch-and-run by Courtland Sutton on fourth down was the key play in that series.
LOS ANGELES — The Broncos’ four-year contract extension with Garett Bolles comes with a couple of interesting wrinkles.
The team used a pair of option bonuses and five void years at the end of the term to suppress Bolles’ cap numbers early in the deal.
According to NFL Players Association data and OvertheCap, Bolles’ cap number this year actually bumped up slightly to $20.8 million. His remaining base salary was converted, and he got a $4 million signing bonus.
Bolles’ remaining 2024 and 2025 salaries are guaranteed and then on the fifth day of the 2025 league year — so mid-March — his 2026 salary becomes guaranteed, as well
The Broncos elevated defensive end Matt Henningsen and running back Blake Watson for Thursday Night Football against the Chargers.
Cameron Dicker just did something the NFL hasn’t seen since 1976.
Not only that, he did it better than anybody in the history of the league.
After a fair catch interference penalty by Broncos defensive back Tremon Smith as time expired in the first half, the Chargers were awarded an untimed down from the Denver 47 yard line. Smith ran into LA returner Derius Davis with no time remaining.
Jim Harbaugh and the Chargers initially sent Justin Herbert and the offense onto the field, but ultimately trotted out Dicker after both teams took timeouts. The Chargers declared a fair catch free kick, invoking a rule rarely seen in the NFL to allow Dicker an unblockable kick from a kickoff-like formation
Oh my. What an absurd throw by Justin Herbert, giving the #Chargers the lead. pic.x.com/dmG4rSBQxf
RT: A rare fair catch free kick results in a Cameron Dicker 57-yard FG for the @Chargers 🤯 It's the first free kick FG since 1976! https://t.co/yb0cyPuKnR
The #Chargers plan to activate TE Hayden Hurst from Injured Reserve to play in tonight's game against the #Broncos, source says. Hurst went on IR with a hip injury in late November, but he's practiced fully since having his window opened this week. pic.x.com/eyKu2cPWgU
Chargers S Derwin James on DC Jesse Minter to our postgame crew: “He's Him … Coach Minter is that guy.”

Jamaree Salyer comes on for Trey Pipkins at RG on third-and-1. And Salyer gets blown up by Zach Allen for the TFL.
#Chargers activated TE Hayden Hurst (hip) off IR. They also elevated CB Dicaprio Bootle and S Kendall Williamson from the p squad.
#Chargers are going with a dime package of: Tony Jefferson and Kendall Williamson at S, Derwin James at dime, Tarheeb Still at nickel, Kristian Fulton and Deane Leonard at outside CB. Leonard comes up with the PBU on third down.
Gus Edwards getting treatment from the training staff on the sideline.
#Chargers went with their dime package there on third-and-11. Kendall Williamson, called up from the p squad for this game, was in at S.
#Chargers inactives: TE Will Dissly (shoulder) CB Cam Hart (concussion) S Elijah Molden (knee) LB Shaquille Quarterman OL Brenden Jaimes OL Jordan McFadden QB Easton Stick (emergency 3rd)
Is this the best catch of the year by #Chargers WR Joshua Palmer? @BovadaOfficial pic.x.com/3W2X5aKMXv
Marcus Maye (ankle) is questionable to return. #Chargers already banged up at S with Alohi Gilman (hamstring) and Elijah Molden (knee) out.
#Chargers game captains: Denzel Perryman, Derwin James, Justin Herbert, Khalil Mack, Bradley Bozeman, Rashawn Slater
RT: injury update: Denzel Perryman (groin) is questionable to return. #DENvsLAC
Khalil Mack chuckles - he had no idea what was going on when the Chargers were lining up for the free kick field goal.
