Week 1 were are a 16 point favorite hosting San Diego. They have been up and down over the years but as long as Philip Rivers, 62, is their QB they are dangerous.
Devin Street is still out 8 weeks from last season. MLB Perry Riley is out 7 with a broken ankle. TE Sean Lyon is questionable 4 with shin splints. FB Ivan Pinnock is probable 4 with knee tendinitis. C Graham Moore is probable 1 with a hyperextended elbow.
We came out and scored 2 quick TDs on passes by Carr, one to Carlos Thompson, one to Bobby Thornton. They added a FG but we answered with 2 more. We looked to take control from there forcing them to straight punts but we couldn't put them away. They ended up scoring late on a safety and then a TD to pull it to 20-15 but we got a late FG and held on to win 23-15.
Carr went 22/30 for 251 and 2 scores but lost a fumble. Kenyon Foerstel ran 15 times for 55 yards. Carlos Thompson caught 8 of 10 targets for 93 and a TD.
Rivers was 17/36 for 203 and a TD and a pick. Ethan Wishon was great on the ground with 131 on 18 carries and caught 4 for 39 and a TD. Shaquelle Evans caught 3 for 76 yards.
Frank Shepardson had 11 tackles. Ezra Friend had 1.5 sacks, Jacob Keith, Abel Durham, and Olivier Vernon each had 1 and Michael Brockers had .5. Dakota Saban forced a fumble that Keith McGill recovered. DJ Hayden had a pick.
