AFC Altitude Assault
Football fanatics, gear up for a mile-high melee that's loaded with playoff peril and prime-time drama! This Sunday, January 4, 2026, the Los Angeles Chargers (9-7) charge into Empower Field at Mile High in Denver to square off against the Denver Broncos (12-4) in a riveting Week 18 AFC West finale kicking off at 3:25 p.m. CT.
The Broncos, who've clawed their way back to contention with a gritty defense and rookie QB Bo Nix's breakout arm (over 3,500 yards and 25 TDs this season), are hot on the trail of the AFC's No. 1 seed—a prize that brings home-field advantage throughout the playoffs and a crucial first-round bye. But it's no gimme: Denver needs a victory here plus stumbles from the top-seeded Chiefs (against the Bengals) and possibly the Bills to lock it in.
Meanwhile, the Chargers, led by gunslinger Justin Herbert (poised to eclipse 4,500 passing yards amid a resurgent offense), are out of the playoff hunt but primed to unleash chaos. An upset win could torpedo Denver's seeding, potentially tumbling them to No. 3 or lower and forcing a tougher road in the postseason. Remember their Week 6 thriller, where the Chargers edged out a 27-24 nail-biter? Expect more fireworks in this rematch—the Broncos' top-5 run defense clashes with LA's explosive ground game, and oddsmakers have Denver favored by 6.5 points with an over/under teasing 47 in the thin Colorado air. Will the Broncos soar to the summit, or will the Chargers deliver a shocking bolt from the blue?
