The Los Angeles Chargers have inched closer to securing a playoff spot in the AFC thanks to their 34-27 win over the Denver Broncos that moved them to 9-6 on the season. That winning effort required a second-half rally by L.A.
that featured some eye-popping plays from the offense. The Chargers had trailed throughout the game but steadily outpaced Denver in the second half, culminating in them taking the league in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter thanks to some otherworldly play from Justin Herbert and Joshua Palmer. With the ball sitting at the Denver 19-yard line, Herbert rolled out to his left on a first-and-10 snap.
With pressure in his face, the Chargers quarterback initially looked like he was going to throw the ball away. Then, he found an open receiver at the last second, flicking a perfectly placed ball to wideout Derius Davis for the 19-yard score.

That was when Herbert fired a ball high over the middle to Palmer, who tipped it to himself and kept both feet inbounds to convert.
