Week 5 will feature one of the best rivalries in the AFC as the Los Angeles Chargers will host the Denver Broncos. As Denver searches desperately for its first win, Broncos star linebacker Von Miller commended L.A. quarterback Philip Rivers and the Chargers as a whole.

The Broncos will go into Los Angeles weakened as the team lost Bradley Chubb for the year with a torn ACL. They will miss the linebacker as their defense has not looked good whatsoever, allowing 23.25 points per game without having forced a turnover yet this season.
John Elway brought in Vic Fangio this past offseason in hopes of developing their defense into one of the leagues best but through four games it has been one of the worst. Allowing the third most rushing yards per game at 149.2, Chubb's loss will be felt even harder in that department.
During the last 24 years of his coaching career, Fangio has been a defensive coordinator for all but four of those seasons but his performance up to this point has many questioning whether he will be out by seasons end.
Miller is up their with the likes of Khalil Mack and Aaron Donald in terms of the impact he can make on a game. He will have to make a huge impact and quarterback Joe Flacco will need to play well against a Los Angeles team that is looking to get to back-to-back postseasons.
