The Chargers are starting to squeeze the life out of the Broncos, and it’s not even halftime yet.
After forcing the second Denver turnover of the game on a Javonte Williams fumble, Los Angeles methodically marched the ball 56 yards down the field over 11 plays, burning more than three and a half minutes off the game clock as Sunday’s contest approached the half.
With third and 2 from the 4-yard line, the Chargers handed the ball to JK Dobbins, who took the run up the middle and got the first down relatively easily. A Broncos defender attempted to spin Dobbins down at the 1-yard line, but the running back extended the ball toward the goal line as he spun around.
The referee on the goal line ruled that Dobbins got the ball over the line, and the replay showed that the nose of the ball barely grazed the goal line for Dobbins’ third touchdown of the season. The score gave the Chargers a 20-0 lead after Cameron Dicker’s extra point.
