Considering they'll be taking on a tough Denver Broncos team in Week 17, the Chargers need all hands on deck if they hope to defeat their division rival. Joey Bosa is one of the best pass rushers in the league, while Corey Linsley has been a consistent center for Justin Herbert.

We'll see how this game plays out, but the Chargers have to like their chances. Denver's offense has been mediocre throughout the year, which bodes well for LA's defense. On the other hand, the Broncos' defense is legit. For that reason, having Corey Linsley back in the lineup is crucial for this matchup.

With just two games remaining in the regular season, it's do-or-die time for the Los Angeles Chargers. It's a tough matchup, but with Joey Bosa and Corey Linsley back in the lineup, they'll have a decent shot at winning. This should be a relatively close game, as the Broncos look to spoil LA's playoff hopes while keeping their's alive.
