"Broncos Triumph Over Chargers Despite Playoff Elimination and Wilson's Absence"

The Denver Broncos, with backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham stepping in for Russell Wilson, managed a 16-9 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite the win, the Broncos were eliminated from AFC playoff contention due to other results on Sunday. Stidham's performance was solid, throwing for 224 yards without any critical errors, but the team's overall offensive display was not particularly impressive. The decision to bench Wilson was officially described as a strategic move by head coach Sean Payton, though skepticism remains. With significant financial implications tied to Wilson's contract, the Broncos may have to consider Stidham as a more permanent option moving forward.
