First Quarter

The opening quarter saw both teams testing each other's defenses. The Bolts' quarterback Justin Herbert showcased his passing prowess early on with a series of completions that set the tone for the game. However, it was Cameron Dicker's reliable foot that put the first points on the board with a successful field goal from 29 yards out.

As the second quarter commenced, Herbert continued to find his rhythm despite facing pressure from Denver's defensive line. A standout moment came when he connected with wide receiver Keenan Allen for a 20-yard touchdown pass, extending their lead. Meanwhile, Derwin James anchored the defense effectively by contributing significantly in tackles and assisting in maintaining pressure on Denver's offense.
