ABOUT THE BRONCOS (0-4): Denver hasn't forced a turnover yet this season and linebacker Von Miller finally recorded his first two sacks of the year in Week 4 to become the sixth-fastest player (124 games) to reach 100. But the Broncos suffered a huge blow when defensive end Bradley Chubb (13 sacks in 20 career games) suffered a torn ACL in his left knee that will cost him the rest of the season. Flacco (1,076 yards, five touchdowns) completed a season-low 57.9 percent of his passes against the Jaguars but recorded season bests of 303 yards and three touchdowns.
ABOUT THE CHARGERS (2-2): Two-time Pro Bowl running back Melvin Gordon will be active this week after a three-game holdout and being rendered inactive last Sunday and will split the workload with Austin Ekeler, who has recorded 220 rushing yards, 270 receiving yards and a league-best six total touchdowns. "I have no problem rolling Austin in there with Melvin," coach Anthony Lynn told reporters. "And Melvin, his reps will be limited. I can't put him in there running 30 times. We'll work him in gradually." Cornerback Desmond King registered a career-best 2.5 sacks and forced a fumble in Week 4 while the unit waits on defensive ends Joey Bosa (two sacks) and Melvin Ingram (one) to step up their production.
