Bo Nix 1-yard touchdown puts Denver back in front 14-7

Denver has had two possessions in Los Angeles on Thursday night.

So far, the Broncos have executed them perfectly — scoring another touchdown to go back up 14-7.

Quarterback Bo Nix tossed a 1-yard score to cap the 12-play, 70-yard drive.

Nix prevented a three-and-out and moved the chains with a 10-yard scramble on third-and-9. Then a few plays later, Nix hit receiver Devaughn Vele for a 15-yard gain to put Denver at the Los Angeles 33.

After the quarter break, the Broncos moved down to the 11-yard line with back-to-back 4- and 18-yard completions to receiver Courtland Sutton — his first touches of the game.

A couple of plays later, Nix connected with fullback Michael Burton on the right side for a 1-yard touchdown to put the Broncos back up by a touchdown.

That was Nix’s 21st touchdown pass of his rookie season.

Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman, who is active after missing the last four games with a groin injury, was examined in the medical tent before sitting back on the bench on the sideline.
