The Chargers are off to a very solid 3-1 start, something they aren’t used to doing under head coach Norv Turner.  This weekend, against a lackluster Denver team, the Chargers have an opportunity to take control of the division while beating a familiar rival on the road.  Though the Chargers clearly have the most talent in the matchup, AFC West rivalries tend to be fairly close, so the Chargers can’t bank on simply shocking and awing with their superior talent.  For starters, Philip Rivers hasn’t been having one of his better seasons so far, but that could change with a nice matchup against a struggling Denver unit; the Broncos are coming off of a game in which they got absolutely picked apart by Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.

And the Chargers will need to beat teams like the Broncos to continue to hold on to the AFC West, as the Raiders are looking like a much better team than many people thought and the Chiefs are likely to turn it around after a rough start.  The Raiders in particular are looking like a very physical team and have played it close with some of the better teams in the league so far this year, which puts even more pressure on the Chargers to win their divisional games.
