San Diego Chargers at Seattle Seahawks 4:15 PM CBS – The Chargers must establish some sort of running game if they want to win this one.
Quarterback Phillip Rivers is a beast, but he’s even better when the run game is clicking taking some pressure off having to force the pass. And it showed during last week’s win over Jacksonville, as RB Mike Tolbert contributed two TDs on 82 rushes.
But it won’t be a picnic as the Seahawks have improved their run defense through the past two contests allowing total of just 114 yards.
Meanwhile, the San Diego defense forced four Jacksonville turnovers, all interceptions in their bout with the Jags. That could big trouble for Seattle QB Matt Hasselback who tossed up three picks of his own in his last outing, and has more INTs than TDs so far this season.
If the Chargers can get the run going here, they can exploit Seattle’s bigger weakness: the secondary and Rivers is a good QB to do that.
San Diego has won five in a row versus NFC opponents and three straight on the road. Rivers is 11-5 as a starter against the NFC.
I have a feeling the Seahawks will bounce-back somewhat from that loss to the Broncos. Nevertheless, I just don’t think there’s enough there to compete with Phillip Rivers and the Chargers offense. Close game, but the Chargers take it.
