Over a full-two-minute statement after the Chargers’ Week 6 win, Los Angeles’ head coach likened Khalil Mack to everything from a “humble warrior” to Leonardo da Vinci; given the masterpiece the eight-time Pro Bowler created on Oct. 13, 2024, few would’ve disagreed. A revered game-wrecker in the AFC West from the day he arrived, No. 52 paints yet another defensively-dominant picture, long-arming his way into the backfield, tracking down both the Broncos’ running back and the football for a forced fumble. Mack’s play helped Los Angeles earn a measure of payback — given Denver’s similarly-generated turnover on the previous drive — alongside the momentum needed for a 23-16 win on Oct. 13, 2024. Labeled an “early Most Valuable Player candidate” along the Chargers’ top-ranked defense, Mack looked the part through two tackles, one QB hit, one pass defended, and one forced fumble.
