The Denver Broncos have a must-win game in Week 18 against the Los Angeles Chargers, and if this game is anything like Week 18 in 2024, it's going to be a good time at Mile High. Denver should have a huge advantage in this one, as the Chargers are not playing QB Justin Herbert.
Since LA can't win the AFC West, the logic here is that LA would prefer to give Herbert some much-needed rest instead of trotting him out there in a hostile environment while trying to earn a higher Wild Card seed.
The juice, if you will, is not worth the squeeze for Los Angeles.
