Stat line: 19 of 33, 216 passing yards, two touchdowns, an interception; six carries for 61 yards. Highlight: The highlight from Nix’s performance wasn’t even a passing play. In the third quarter, Nix escaped a sack from edge rusher Bud Dupree before scrambling for an impressive 21-yard gain while pointing at linebacker Daiyan Henley as he ran out of bounds.

Broncos All-Pro cornerback Pat Surtain II suffered a concussion in the first quarter Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers and will not return to the game. Surtain had tight coverage on Chargers receiver Ladd McConkey and broke up a pass, but hit his head on the turf as they rolled over. Surtain stayed on the ground for a couple of minutes while being attended to by medical staff.
