The Los Angeles Chargers have burst through the gate this season with a strong start holding a 7-2 mark heading into their Week 11 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
The manner in which the Chargers have performed up to this point has highly impressed Broncos All-Pro linebacker, Von Miller, to voice that this is the best that he has seen this team in his that he has ever played, according to Sam Fortier of The Athletic.
Von Miller: I thought last year’s Chargers team was the best I’ve ever played, but this team is a lot better.

The Chargers have some tremendous balance on both sides of the ball this season that has helped propel them to this strong start to the season to hold one of the best records in the league. This has seen Pro Bowl quarterback Philip Rivers play arguably the best football of his career in his 15th year as he has continued to put together strong outings seemingly every week that has paced him to notch career-best numbers with a 115.4 passer rating along with 37 touchdowns passes to seven interceptions.
The 36-year-old is also coming off another solid performance after completing 18-of-26 passes for 223 yards with a pair of touchdown passes to an interception and a 105.1 passer rating. In fact, he has thrown for more than 200 yards, and a couple of touchdown passes in each game played so far this year. Along with that, he has significantly utilized the talent around him in Pro Bowl running back Melvin Gordon along with wide receivers Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Tyrell Williams.
On top of that, their defense has stepped up a notch ranking eighth with just 20.7 points allowed this season. This balanced play on both sides of the field made them a tough opponent. Their two losses on the year have come against the Los Angeles Rams and Kansas City Chiefs.
This week's contest is another chance for them to prove that they belong in the Super Bowl predictions conversation.
