Good teams win the games they should win \u2014 and the Chargers are out to prove they\u2019re a good team.<\/p>\n
They travel to Tennessee on Sunday to face rookie quarterback Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick, who has shown flashes of promise but isn\u2019t yet where he wants to be in his career.<\/p>\n
The Chargers are riding high after an Oct. 23 win over Minnesota that marked the return of outstanding left tackle Joe Alt. That makes a big difference both in the protection of Justin Herbert and paving the way for the running game.<\/p>\n
Tennessee has one win, and that came a month ago to Arizona, and the Titans were rolled by the Rams in Week 2.<\/p>\n
How the Chargers can win: Control the tempo with the run; the Titans just gave up 164 yards rushing in a loss to Indianapolis. Attack a depleted secondary; one starter is hurt and two more were traded, which should help open the passing lanes for Herbert. Limit the damage returner Chimere Dike does, as he\u2019s capable of breaking a big one.<\/p>\n
How the Titans can win: Create turnovers. This offense has struggled to move the ball and score points, so short fields will be critical for Tennessee. Do a better job of running with Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears to take the heat off Ward. Continue to get edge-rushing productivity from Dre\u2019Mont Jones, who has recorded sacks in three consecutive games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"p]:text-cms-story-body-color-text clearfix”> Good teams win the games they should win \u2014 and the Chargers are out to prove…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":33296,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[1535,423,2134,24030,1544,11489,48,52,51,47,50,49,63,4226,18158,24031,8062,776,572,19828,1543],"class_list":["post-33295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-chargers","tag-game","tag-good-team","tag-hamstring","tag-justin-herbert","tag-knee","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-los-angeles-times","tag-minnesota","tag-no","tag-overall-pick","tag-prediction","tag-sunday","tag-tennessee","tag-titans","tag-win"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33295\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
