The San Diego Chargers and the Denver Broncos will clash in what should be an intriguing encounter between these two fierce rivals on Sunday in the NFL. The game has a scheduled start time of 4.05 p.m. ET and takes place from Sports Authority Field in Denver. The game can be watched on TV on the CBS network or online through live stream via the link below.

The Broncos come into the game tied for the lead in AFC West division. Both the Broncos and the Oakland Raiders are on 5-2 coming into Week 8, and that means this is a vital week for both teams.

The Chargers will be disappointed that they enter this week with a negative 3-4 record, but they would love nothing more than getting one over on their division rivals today to move back to an even 4-4 record, and from there they will believe that if they can just pull off something special in the second half of the season, they could still be Playoff contenders yet.

With all the focus being on the Raiders and Broncos in the AFC West, some forget that the Kansas City Chiefs are also right there in the thick of things.

They are currently lying in 3rd place in the division and have a 4-2 record, meaning a good run of results from here could allow them to leapfrog the Broncos and Raiders at the top.

Earlier in Week 8, NFL Thursday Night Football saw the Jacksonville Jaguars go on the road to take on the Tennessee Titans.

The game looked like it could have been close on paper, but things were all but over by half time as the Titans stormed into a massive 27-0 lead.

Although the Jaguars fought back in the second half and made the scoreline less embarrassing, things still ended 36-22 in the Titan favor, and that result lifted them to 4-4.

That means the Titans remain very much relevant to how the season turns out, and if they can continue pushing things in the second half of the season they could end up as a surprise package in the postseason.

Meanwhile for the Jaguars, it looks like their season is all but over as they dropped to 2-5, and it is unlikely they can comeback from there to compete for the Playoff slots.
