In a game that saw something that hadn't happened in the NFL in 48 years, the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers ended Thursday night's game in the same place they started -- on the verge of making the playoffs.
The Chargers overcame an 11-point second-half deficit to beat the Broncos 34-27 at SoFi Stadium, delaying Denver's playoff return for at least another week.
Quarterback Justin Herbert threw for 284 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdown passes for the Chargers, whose defense gave up three first-half touchdowns but stiffened in the second half.
Meanwhile, the Broncos were plagued by ill-timed penalties and are still waiting to clinch their first playoff berth since 2015.
