Game Notes
The Seahawks are 26-23 all time versus the Chargers, with a lot of those games coming back in the old AFC West days.

Players to Watch

Offense:

Philip Rivers - QB: Rivers had a resurgence in 2013 lifting the Chargers to the playoffs on the back of one of his more impressive seasons. Like Rodgers last week he will have no problems going right after the LOB in this one.

Defense:

Eric Weddle - FS: Weddle is one of the best in the game at safety. He will be coming up a lot to stop the Beast mode train from running over the Chargers in this one.

Prediction: The Chargers are an exciting young team with a good quarterback, and an opportunistic defense. They will make this one exciting for the home town fans, but in the end They don't yet have the horses to overcome the reigning champs. Seahawks 24, Chargers 21
