NFL Week 5, 2019: 5 Teams on upset alert
By Dan Parzych
1. Los Angeles Chargers
Could the Denver Broncos finally earn that first win of 2019 on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers?
Most likely, it will be the Chargers finishing on the winning end to keep the Broncos winless on the season, but also as mentioned before, rivalries tend to bring out the best in teams, and Denver would love nothing more than to remove the pressure of earning that first win.
Back in the offseason, the Broncos seemed confident enough that Joe Flacco would finally be the answer for the offense since the team has struggled to find a successor to Peyton Manning over the last couple of years.
Even more frustrating for Denver was the defense put together numerous impressive performances over the years, only to watch the offense fail to come through on their end due to poor play at quarterback.
Flacco may be new to the rivalry in the AFC West, but also the former Super Bowl MVP realizes the importance of needing to show the Broncos that he deserves the job under center over Drew Lock.

With this in mind, Philip Rivers and the Chargers better be ready for the Broncos since the last thing they want to do is overlook their rivals to result in a loss.
