"Good teams win the games they should win - and the Chargers are out to prove they're a good team. They travel to Tennessee on Sunday to face rookie quarterback Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick, who has shown flashes of promise but isn't yet where he wants to be in his career. The Chargers are riding high after an Oct. 23 win over Minnesota that marked the return of outstanding left tackle Joe Alt."
"How the Chargers can win: Control the tempo with the run; the Titans just gave up 164 yards rushing in a loss to Indianapolis. Attack a depleted secondary; one starter is hurt and two more were traded, which should help open the passing lanes for Herbert. Limit the damage returner Chimere Dike does, as he's capable of breaking a big one."
The Chargers travel to Tennessee to face rookie quarterback Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick who has shown flashes but remains inexperienced. The Chargers gained momentum after an Oct. 23 win over Minnesota that marked left tackle Joe Alt's return, improving pass protection for Justin Herbert and run blocking. Tennessee has one win, gained a month ago against Arizona, and suffered a heavy loss to the Rams. The Chargers can win by controlling tempo with the run, exploiting a depleted Titans secondary, and limiting big returns by Chimere Dike. The Titans need turnovers, better running from Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears, and continued edge pressure from Dre'Mont Jones.
