The Chargers have perhaps the easiest division to win, the AFC West – with the Oakland Raiders, Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos there are no serious threats at all to challenge for the division title. Anything less than a Super Bowl appearance will be a disappointment for the franchise.
Philip Rivers – a contender for the MVP award this season in the minds of many – Darren Sproles a stud in the making, and more should propel a highly effective offensive team to a great place this season. Although LT is on the wrong side of 30 now, if he can stay healthy, he’s still got potential for a dangerous year.
The running game is top notch, as LaDanian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles are one of the most lethal one-two combos in pro football today.
Come week 2, with a more challenging game against a visiting Ravens team. The fact that the Chargers were at home in front of an extremely passionate fan base gives the team the edge, but they somehow lost this game to Baltimore, despite two great opportunities to score a touchdown late in the 4th quarter, either which would have given the team the win.
So maybe the Ravens are one of the better teams in the NFL. After all, they made the playoffs last year and their youth has improved this year.
Still, the obvious flaw in this Chargers team seems to be its defense. Can the team clean up its defensive unit from here? It may need to.
What the San Diego Chargers should be worried about is the state of their defensive unit. Having given up more points than it should in both weeks, this is a primary cause for concern.
