Before the 2009 season started the Chargers were massive favorites to clinch the AC West division title, however after what the Broncos have done early this season it seems like the Chargers will have to settle for the Wildcard.

Denver’s defensive unit has been stellar this season as they are in the top ten in all recorded categories and rank number one in least points allowed per game. “We have got a confident group here from top to bottom,” Coach Josh McDaniels said. “I think they trust our game plans, and I think we trust them to execute our game plan.” [soliloquy id=”82219″]
Wide-outs Brandon Marshall, Eddie Royal and Rookie RB Knowshon Moreno all should have big games for Denver as the San Diego defense has looked very porous this season..
San Diego is coming from bye week and has already faced a good defense in week two when they played the Ravens. Against the Ravens, Philip Rivers threw for a career-high 436 yards, completed 25-of-45 passes and two touchdowns, with two interceptions.
The Chargers have become Rivers team this year; neither LaDainian Tomlinson nor Darren Sproles have had outstanding performances this season.

San Diego has to find to create more balance on offense between the pass and run as well as play much better on defense. This will be a good test to see if they are still a legitimate contender in the AFC, or have seen their window of opportunity finally close.
