Justin Herbert vs. Bo Nix: Primetime Matchup Between Los Angeles Chargers and Denver Broncos

Former Oregon Ducks quarterbacks, Justin Herbert and Bo Nix, are set to face off in a primetime showdown as the Los Angeles Chargers take on the Denver Broncos in a Thursday Night Football matchup. This exciting game has been flexed into the primetime slot for Week 16 and will be broadcast on Amazon’s Prime Video.

Originally, the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns were slated to play in this primetime game, but due to recent struggles from both teams, the NFL made the decision to move them out of the slot. This game between Herbert’s Chargers, led by coach Jim Harbaugh, and Nix’s Broncos, led by coach Sean Payton, promises to be a thrilling matchup.
