For the second week in a row, two AFC West teams collide on "Monday Night Football."
This week, the Chargers are set to host the Broncos at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., as Justin Herbert and Russell Wilson go head-to-head in a star quarterback duel.
Wilson and the Broncos are coming off their worst loss of the season, a 12-9 overtime loss at home to the Colts on "Thursday Night Football'" in Week 5.

Wilson completed 21 of 34 passes for 274 yards with zero touchdowns and two interceptions, one of which came in the end zone late in the third quarter with the game tied. This performance continued a rough start to Wilson's tenure with the Broncos, and he'll have the prime-time spotlight on him again.
As for the Chargers, Herbert is starting to return to form after injuring his ribs in a "Thursday Night Football" battle with the Chiefs in Week 2, and running back Austin Ekeler is hitting his stride.
