Week 9 we are hosting San Diego who we already beat on the road and who is currently 1-6. We are an 8 point favorite in this one.
A week before the bye week we are starting to get a little healthier. Brandon Brooks is still out 3 weeks and Tavon Wilson 2 but Bobby Thorton was upgraded to questionable for the next 3 and will play a limited role in this one. Antonio Smith still has 1 probable week left and Marcel Reece has knee tendinitis and is probable this week.
We started the game off right as on the first drive Sio Moore returned a pick 92 yards for a score. When they responded with a FG we engineered a long drive ending in Lance Kendricks catching a 4 yard TD. He has became a real weapon for us at TE compared to what we had last year. After that early 2nd quarter score the game stopped until each team added a FG in the last couple minutes and we won 17-6.
Derek Carr went 12/18 for 121 yards and a TD. Liam Dunsmore ran 16 times for 45 yards James Jones caught 3 passes for 54 yards and in his return Thorton was only targeted once and didnt make a catch.
Philip Rivers went 32/58 for 341 and 2 picks. Donald Brown ran 11 times for 20 yards. Wes Welker caught 5 passes for 88 yards.
Khalil Mack had 12 tackles. Justin Ellis and Hunter Middleton each recorded a sack and Sio Moore and Chris Culliver each had a pick.
