Around the AFC West: Broncos Shutout by Chargers on Sunday

The Broncos were dealt their first shutout since 1992 this weekend

The Chiefs fell to the Oakland Raiders last Thursday, but still own sole possession of first place in the AFC West. Here's a look around the division to see how the rest of the AFC West fared this weekend.

Denver Broncos (3-3)

Week 7 Results:Lost at Los Angeles Chargers, 21-0

The Broncos were shutout for the first time since 1992 on Sunday, falling to Los Angeles for a third loss in their last four games. Denver mustered just 251 yards of offense and turned the ball over three times in the loss.

Quarterback Trevor Siemian struggled for a second-straight week, posting a 74.3 passer rating and throwing his seventh interception of the year. The third-year signal caller had only 10 picks all of last season.
