-

TV: Sunday, 1, CBS (Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts, Evan Washburn)

The matchup: Maybe the Chargers will have better success away from their small new home, where they have lost all three games. As a team, the Chargers have rushed for 270 yards and, as usual, rely on the pass – 156 pass plays vs. 75 running plays. The Giants’ last two losses, both on the road, ended on field goals as time expired, the first to the rival Eagles on a 61-yard field goal by Jake Elliott. The matchup of QBs is notable. The careers of Chargers QB Philip Rivers and Giants QB Eli Manning are forever intertwine­d. The Chargers had the first overall pick in the 2004 draft and the Gi- ants fourth, but Manning let it be known he wouldn’t play for the Chargers. The Chargers picked him, then traded with the Giants, who drafted Rivers. Both are approachin­g 50,000 yards passing. Manning is at 49,327 with 326 TDs, while Rivers has 46,940 yards, 320 TDs.
