Both the San Diego Chargers and Jacksonville Jaguars
were competitive in Week 1, but both teams also came out with a loss.
Now Jacksonville will hit the road to face the Chargers, and barring a
surprising tie, one of these two teams will earn their first win on
Sunday.

The game will be played in the afternoon, with a start time of 4:25 p.m. ET. It will be broadcast on CBS, with an online stream available only if you subscribe to Sunday Ticket online.
Philip Rivers and the Chargers built a commanding lead over the rival Kansas City Chiefs
in Week 1, leading by three scores at one point. But the Chargers faded
as the game went on, giving up 17 points in the fourth quarter and
allowing the Chiefs to force overtime. There, Kansas City scored a
touchdown for the 33-27 win.
Rivers threw for 243 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions.
One thing to keep an eye on is offensive guard Orlando Franklin
for the Chargers. Franklin is one of the team’s best linemen and he was
a surprise addition to the injury report on Saturday. He’s dealing with
a neck injury and his status for the game was listed as questionable.
If he can’t go, it would be a big blow to Rivers and the
Chargers as a whole. Rivers was sacked just one time in the team’s
opener.
Jacksonville came very close to beating the Green Bay Packers, losing by just four points in Week 1. Blake Bottles
threw for 320 yards and a touchdown, but he also had an interception.
The Jacksonville defense was not able to create needed turnovers and
stop the Packers, as Aaron Rodgers threw for two touchdowns and no picks.
Bottles did have an interception, and worse, he got almost no help from the running game. T.J. Eldon
had a touchdown, but also a 1.9 yards-per-carry average. He compiled
just 39 yards on 21 carries and the Jaguars ran for 48 yards as a team
on the day.
Rivers has enjoyed some of his best games against the
Jaguars over the years. Rivers is 5-1 against the Jaguars, with 15
touchdowns against just four interceptions in the head-to-head. He has a
passer rating of 116.3 against the Jaguars.
But the Jaguars do look improved on the defensive side of
the ball, and they held Rodgers to just 199 yards passing. Defensively,
the Chargers will be without first-round pick Joey Bosa
once again. Bosa has not played in a regular season game yet due to the
injury, and missed valuable training camp and preseason time due to a
contract holdout.
As noted above, Sunday’s game is set for 4:25 p.m. It
will be broadcast on CBS with Tom McCarthy, Adam Archetypal and Scott
Kaplan on commentary. Kaplan will actually be the sideline reporter.
