This Sunday figures to be the Broncos' most important game so far this season, and could wind up being their most important of the season in general, especially as the dynamics of the teams they face change. Denver sits at 1-1, the Chargers at 2-0, and notching the first win in the season series is a major prize on the line.
If the Broncos have any hopes of winning the AFC West, a win over the Chargers in Week 3 could be borderline necessary. Denver still appears to be learning more about themselves as the season goes on, even down to which position groups will see a true timeshare, and which currently have players authoring breakout campaigns.
