San Diego started the game strong and their first offensive series ended with a 5-yard touchdown pass from Philip Rivers to tight end Hunter Henry.

In the second quarter, Josh Lambo made his first field goal from 37 yards. Brandon McManus did the same to put the first points on the board for Denver with a successful 29-yard attempt.

In the third quarter, Lambo made three more field goals from 21, 31, and 32 yards respectively, extending the lead to 19-3.

A holding penalty on offensive tackle Russell Okung in his own end zone resulted in a safety against Denver, increasing the lead to 21-3.

Denver got back in the game in the fourth quarter, making the score 21-10 with a 5-yard touchdown pass from Trevor Siemian to Bennie Fowler. However, on the next offensive series, the San Diego defense sealed the game by forcing a fumble from Demaryius Thomas.

With this result, the Chargers improved their record to 2-4, while Denver suffered their second consecutive loss and now have a record of 4-2.
