» Los Angeles tight end Virgil Green (2011-’17), guard Michael Schofield ( 2014-’16), and tackle Russell Okung (2016) all previously played for Denver.

» Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn played for the Broncos in 1993 and from 1997-’99 and worked as an offensive assistant/special teams coach from 2000-’02.

» With a victory, the Broncos will become the 14th team to reach 500 overall wins.

» Denver would become just the third team in NFL history to feature three rookies with at least 500 yards from scrimmage with 10 more yards from running back Royce Freeman.

» Wide receiver Courtland Sutton needs 43 yards to pass Vance Johnson for third-most receiving yards by a Broncos rookie and just 60 yards to pass Mark Jackson for second most.

» With two sacks, linebacker Von Miller can become the 33rd player in NFL history to reach 100 for his career — and the fourth fastest to do so.
