Chargers
W 23-20 vs Broncos · Sep 21, 2025
Misery Index · Euphoric
Chargers fans toasting a 3-0 division start, Dicker's leg, and the rare luxury of looking down at Denver.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse.
What happened
J.Herbert to K.Allen with 2:44 left, then C.Dicker from 43 to win it — the kind of finish that retroactively justifies the heartburn of a C.Sutton 52-yard touchdown and a D.Davis kickoff fumble that kept Denver alive. 3-0 is 3-0, and the Chargers earned the right to feel smug about it for a week. The secondary giving up chunk plays to B.Nix is a problem for a later Sunday.
