Chargers Use Rare Fair-Catch Kick to Propel Comeback Win Over Broncos

Cameron Dicker's historic 57-yard fair-catch kick helped Los Angeles rally for a 34-27 victory, improving their playoff chances to 97%.

Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker made NFL history with a 57-yard fair-catch kick, the first successful attempt in 48 years, cutting Denver's halftime lead to 21-13.
The Chargers, led by quarterback Justin Herbert, outscored the Broncos 21-6 in the second half to secure their ninth win of the season and sweep Denver for the first time since 2010.
Herbert delivered a standout performance with 284 passing yards, two fourth-quarter touchdowns, and key rushing plays, solidifying his reputation in clutch moments.
The win boosts the Chargers' playoff chances to 97%, with a potential clinch this weekend depending on other AFC results involving the Dolphins and Colts.
Denver's early momentum faltered due to critical penalties and second-half struggles, including a costly fair-catch interference call that set up Dicker's historic kick.
