Well because no player on our team is asked to do more to impact every area of what the Broncos want to do on offense.

Trevor Siemian, Denver’s starting quarterback, missed Sunday’s game and most of the previous game against Tampa Bay with a shoulder injury.
DeCamillis is taking over for Head Coach Gary Kubiak. In order for the Broncos to have success on Thursday night, Siemian is going to need to stay on the field and have a large roll against a weak Chargers defense. His replacement, rookie Paxton Lynch, struggled as the Broncos fell behind the Falcons, 20-3 midway through the third quarter, although he finished strong in what was eventually a 23-16 loss. Before his injury, Siemian had seen his completions and passing yards increase week by week. Hunter Henry contributed 74 yards and a touchdown in three receptions. However, the Chargers won’t be lying down easily as they are looking to change their luck.
The Broncos used him in a variety of ways to help open up holes for our running backs.
Tevin Coleman finished with 132 yards receiving, to go with 31 yards rushing, while Devonta Freeman added 88 yards rushing and 35 yards receiving. The Chargers defense will hopefully have the likes of Denzel Perryman back. San Diego’s 11 turnovers trail only Carolina (14) and the New York Jets (13) for most in the NFL. Or are you just frustrated with the team and not picking them until they prove they can win a game? LT Russell Okung is the unit’s best pass blocker and a good one. Oakland improved to 4-1 on the season, continuing the free fall for San Diego. Although it hasn’t always translated to the win column, the Chargers on paper have been an impressive offensive club. “You think, ‘Really, is there any other way we can find a way to (lose?),'” said Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers after the loss on Sunday.
With Antonio Gates back in action for the bolts, he represents just another significant option for Rivers to deliver the ball to.
Atlanta defensive end Vic Beasley had one sack going into Sunday’s game. Virgil Green, Donald Stephenson, and Trevor Siemian all believe they will be ready to take on the Chargers. The last time the Chargers fired a coach during a season was when Kevin Gilbride lost his job six games into the 1998 season.
San Diego has lost ten straight to an AFC West opponent.
The Broncos should be coming into this game as a bigger favorite to win this contest.
Philip Rivers can certainly make plays, but it may take some tricky for the Chargers to pull this one out. “I wouldn’t like to do back-to-back games, but I could do it”. “He plays the position the way I would want to coach someone to play it, or the way I would play it”. An audio broadcast of the game is available on SiriusXM, TuneIn & Westwood One Radio Sports. That streak of touchdowns for Gordon will continue as well. A Chargers loss Thursday will push them to 1-5 and effectively end their season. “I think I’m expecting to play”, Siemian said on Tuesday.

The Broncos will look to get C.J. Anderson more involved this week. The West is not the best, but it’s much better.
