Chargers now control the AFC West thanks to the Broncos

As the Los Angeles Chargers came into Week 16 trailing the Denver Broncos by two games in the AFC West, they knew they needed to take care of their own business against the Dallas Cowboys to avoid being officially eliminated from the division race.

And the Bolts, of course, did just that, earning an emphatic 34-17 victory over America's Team to improve to 11-4 on the season. Facing a Dallas defense that ranks dead last against the pass, Justin Herbert lit it up on Sunday, completing a season-high 79.3 percent of his passes for 300 yards with two touchdowns and zero interceptions.
