The Chargers are 3-0 after a wild 23-20 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Here's a game recap from Week 3.
Turning Point
The Chargers led 10-0 with just under two minutes left to play in the first half before Denver rallied with a 20-3 run over the next quarter-plus of action.
But Justin Herbert and the Bolts weren't done yet as the quarterback engineered a seven-play, 76-yard touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter.
Herbert converted on third down to Keenan Allen as Denver was also called for a personal foul that put the Chargers at midfield.
Herbert then found Omarion Hampton for 23 yards before he later hit Keenan Allen for a 20-yard touchdown pass to send SoFi Stadium into a frenzy.
The Chargers quarterback throw an off-platform pass — while being pressured — and put it in a spot where only Allen could get it to help the Chargers tie the game with just under three minutes left to play.
The Chargers defense then forced a quick three and out as the Bolts got the ball back on their own 32-yard line with 1 minute and 43 seconds left to go.
Herbert led the Chargers into field goal range before Cameron Dicker hit a 43-yard field goal as time expired for a 23-20 win.
