There wasn't much for Chargers fans to cheer about in Los Angeles' 2023 game against the Denver Broncos in Week 14.
A season after one of the most embarrassing playoff losses in NFL history, the Chargers came into the campaign motivated to avenge that defeat and reach their potential of contending for a championship. Instead, on this Sunday, they were 5-7, and their playoff chances were just about gone. SoFi Stadium, their home stadium, was covered in Denver orange by Broncos fans.
Then quarterback Justin Herbert suffered a season-ending right index finger fracture in the first quarter, and as he exited, so did the Chargers' season.
