Chargers Set to Battle Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High
As the Los Angeles Chargers prepare to face off against the Denver Broncos at Empower Field at Mile High, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends and statistics will play a significant role. The Chargers have shown resilience in their past performances, with an impressive victory over the Rams, showcasing their offensive prowess by racking up 431 total yards and maintaining possession for nearly 32 minutes.
The team's efficiency in the red zone has been noteworthy, achieving a 100 percent success rate against both the Rams and Titans. Their third-down conversion rate stood out against the Rams as well, converting over 61 percent of their attempts. However, there was a dip in performance during their game against the Colts with only about 44 percent third-down conversions.
Defensively, they've demonstrated an ability to pressure opposing quarterbacks effectively. Against the Colts alone, they amassed seven sacks and three interceptions – a testament to their defensive line's capabilities and secondary's alertness.
In terms of rushing offense, while there was a standout performance with a long touchdown run contributing to an average of over six yards per carry against the Rams, this explosiveness wasn't as evident in games against the Titans and Colts where they averaged around three yards per carry.
The upcoming match is expected to be challenging as playing at altitude in Denver has historically been tough for visiting teams due to thinner air affecting players' stamina. The Chargers will need to leverage their strengths while adapting strategically if they hope to overcome these environmental factors alongside a determined Broncos squad.
Fans eager for action can catch this anticipated clash on January 8th at Empower Field at Mile High starting from 21:25 GMT. The game will be broadcasted on CBS for those watching from home or on mobile devices.
