1. Record third-down day. The Broncos’ offense entered Sunday ranked 27th in third-down conversion rate (34.6), which means their production against the Chargers was a thunderbolt. The Broncos clicked at 72.7% (8 of 11) — the franchise’s highest in at least 30 years (the previous high was 71.4% vs. Indianapolis in 1993).
