00:00a week. 16 starts tonight. Paying day action in Lipstick City. Carver Heights should be

00:08a great game on paper. It looks like you know these two don't like each other. The coaches

00:13don't like each other. A divisional war. A lot at stake. There is a lot at stake. It

00:19looks like both of these teams are going to be in the postseason. Denver can clinch their

00:25spot in the playoffs tonight with a win. If L.A. won they would need a couple things to

00:29happen this weekend and they could get in as well by the time Sunday night rolls around.

00:34But let's start with your boy Orange Sherbert. Justin Herbert as we get ready. Charger offense

00:40honestly been sputtering the last couple of weeks since Dobbins got hurt. Especially last

00:45week against the Bucks at home. Hoping things change tonight with the Broncos in town. Here's

00:50Herbert. Yeah it's you know attacking you know the week as it comes and understanding

00:55that you know it wasn't our best effort and not the way we wanted to execute but we got another

01:00great opportunity this Thursday. We got a very good team coming here on Thursday and we have to

01:04be at our best and it starts you know being smart with the ball limiting those turnovers. Converting

01:08on third down especially and executing in the red zone. He's a badass and so consistent. Doesn't

01:15turn the ball over. The way they look though against Tampa concerns me obviously. I thought

01:21they played better against the Chiefs for that matter and they need this tonight. They got a

01:25rebound because this is turning into a snowball Mike. It is turning into a bit of a snowball

01:31especially offensively. You'd like to see them maybe get some things going. Only 17 points.

01:37They've actually only scored 17 points the last three weeks. Now they've lost two of those games

01:42obviously. 17 against the Bucks. 17 against the Chiefs. 17 against the Falcons. They're 1 and 2

01:48in that stretch and that Falcon game they only had 17 because they had a pick six in the game.

01:53So the offense has not been good in terms of scoring. On the other side we have Bo Nix

01:59and the Broncos. Very good rookie season for Bo. The Broncos like we said could

02:03clinch a playoff spot tonight. Not really on the mind of Bo Nix. Well it's you know we've

02:09talked about all year the next game is the most important game and right now this is

02:12you know what's important to us and it's the most important. I think this next one would put us on

02:19track for where we want to go. So we have a lot of work to do. The job's not finished so that's

02:24what we're going to do. Listen to this guy sounding like a veteran. I mean what is up there? The young

02:29kid. He's got it all figured out. Look I think he's been good. I really do and I've already said

02:36this you know I'm not a um I'm not a Sean Payton fan right. I've never been uh you know he had his

02:44problems in New Orleans uh when they kicked him out for Bounty Gate everything else. I don't really

02:51care about all the you know he doesn't like Harbaugh stuff. That doesn't do anything for me.

02:57I thought he treated Russell Wilson horribly. I think he can be a real jerk and then I'll say

03:05at the same time I think he's done a hell of a job in Denver. I mean I respect good work. It is

03:11what it is. I think the guys turned the Broncos around. He wanted Russell Wilson gone. He got

03:16rid of him and they paid him a ton of money and then he got himself Bo Nicks and he has turned

03:23that kid into a winner and they have a great defense and I just think that he's done everything

03:29they could have ever dreamt of him doing in Denver in short order in two years.
