Broncos' Biggest Studs & Duds in 24-7 Win Over Chargers
The 1-5 Denver Broncos seems like such a long time ago. It was difficult to imagine that the Broncos could be challenging for an AFC West title back then, but the reality is they're only one game out of first place in the division.
The Broncos kept pace with the playoff race with a convincing win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Denver finds itself in the mix and only a game out of first place in the AFC West.
Give credit to this team for figuring out the winning formula and its resiliency. As we sift through the aftermath of the Broncos' seventh win of the season, let's break down the studs of the game and a couple of players who need to improve.
Stud: Sean Payton | HC
Stud: Vance Joseph | DC
Dud: Jerry Jeudy | WR
Stud: P.J. Locke | S
Fabian Moreau | CB
With the way the defense played, it's difficult to fault any player on that side of the ball, but Fabian Moreau struggled. He has been a revelation after taking over as the starter opposite Patrick Surtain II.
However, Moreau gave up a big reception of 57 yards, which led to a touchdown, and could have allowed the Chargers back into the game. Luckily, the Broncos' offense marched down the field and scored to put the game away.
Moreau needs to shore up his defense going forward.
