MNF: Chargers Top Broncos for 3rd Straight Win (19-16, OT) Thanks to Muffed Punt, Walk-Off Field Goal
The L.A. Chargers and Denver Broncos met for another low-scoring primetime showdown on Monday Night Football. The AFC West rivalry full of field goals needed overtime before a muffed punt by Broncos returner Montrell Washington set up the walk-off field goal by Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins. The result was a third straight win for the Chargers and a third straight loss for the Broncos. It’s officially panic time for Russell Wilson and the Broncos, and back to believing for Justin Herbert and the Chargers.
