Philip Rivers has kept this offense dangerous despite losing the bulk of their anticipated production. Melvin Gordon has yet to become the consistent producer in the backfield, but he is better this season and had a score on Sunday. Role receivers like Tyrell Williams and Travis Benjamin have both been forced to do more and both had 117 yards receiving on Sunday. The tight end duo of Antonio Gates and Hunter Henry is shaping up nicely.

The Chargers defense didn't shine against the Raiders in a tough road spot but they did enough to put them in position to win but fell short.




I'm not a believer in Denver's offense despite the 4-1 start and certainly not with a banged-up quarterback and their Head Coach is OUT. The Special Teams coach is going to fill in. I'm taking the points with a San Diego team that plays everyone close and with a good change to get the outright win.
