The Chargers came away with their third consecutive victory and remained undefeated, defeating the Broncos on a come-from-behind game-winning field goal as time expired.

After moving to 3-0, let’s see what national analysts think of Los Angeles.

“The Bolts just became the third team since realignment in 2002 to open a season 3-0 by sweeping all of their divisional opponents. Next up, a two-game detour through the NFC East − starting with the winless Giants on the road.”

NFL: 4 (Last week: 5)

“The Chargers are 3-0 for the first time since 2002, and most importantly, they are also 3-0 in the division with wins over each of their AFC West rivals, giving them a huge early edge in the race. All three victories have come in competitive games, with the Chargers more outlasting their opponents than anything else. Sunday’s win over Denver also came at a cost, with Najee Harris suffering a season-ending Achilles injury. The Bolts’ struggles to run the ball were already anathema to the typical DNA of a Jim Harbaugh team. Now, the onus is on first-rounder Omarion Hampton, who had a good second half vs. the Broncos, to be the bell cow from here on out. But as long as Los Angeles has Justin Herbert and these passing-game weapons, this team has a shot. Herbert’s late TD throw to Keenan Allen is about as good a play as you’ll see a QB make this season.”

Biggest issue on defense: Fourth-down stops

“Jesse Minter’s defense has been among the league’s best in many categories. However, the Chargers have struggled on fourth down. Opponents are converting 71% of their attempts against L.A., which ranks 22nd in the NFL. The fourth-down struggles were apparent Sunday: Denver wide receiver Courtland Sutton scored a 52-yard touchdown on fourth-and-1 just before halftime, which gave the Broncos much-needed momentum and nearly led to the Chargers’ first loss of the season.”

“Justin Herbert is leading the league in passing yards. For a Jim Harbaugh-coached team? That’s impressive.”

“When I saw that Justin Herbert had one of the highest snap to throw times in the NFL in Week 3, I couldn’t wait to watch this game and see why. I learned it was because he was running for his life and still managing to effectively move the ball against a defense that will finish the season as a top 10 unit. I don’t know if the Chargers can ultimately overcome the breadth of these injuries, but they will be the toughest of outs all year.”

“Cue the classic Jeffersons’ theme track, because the Chargers are movin’ on up. At 3-0, the Chargers already hold a two-game lead over everyone else in the AFC West. Will they find a way to Charger this situation and screw it up? With the way Justin Herbert is playing, the possibility seems unlikely. It may be too early to say, but Herbert is playing at an MVP-caliber level. The Chargers coaching staff has loosened the reins and given its quarterback full control of the offense instead of trying to establish a physical run game at the onset of every game. Herbert has the ball in his hands on early downs. He’s delivered with 860 yards and a six-to-one touchdown-to-interception ratio through three games. Keenan Allen has also been excellent in his return. The long-time Chargers standout has a touchdown reception in each game so far.”
