The Chargers are still figuring out how to run the football — a goal that will only get tougher — but they have successfully run something more important.

The table.

For the first time in franchise history, they have started the season with consecutive victories over all three AFC West opponents, completing the job Sunday with a 23-20 comeback victory over the Denver Broncos at SoFi Stadium.

Cameron Dicker clinched the victory with a 43-yard field goal as time expired, improving his record to eight for eight on game-winning kicks.

The Chargers came into the game with wins over Kansas City and Las Vegas, but needed to top Denver for their first 3-0 start since 2002 and a clean sweep of the first half of divisional games.

It was a familiar combination that brought the Chargers back from the edge of defeat: Justin Herbert to Keenan Allen.
