It's going to be a tough game for them, they don't travel well to the east coast.

The intriguing part for me is this will be Philip Rivers and Eli Manning's "first meeting on an NFL field". Intriguing because, some might remember, Manning was drafted by the Chargers. To say he and his family were unenthusiastic would be an understatment. That lasted all of 45 minutes before he was traded to the Giants for Rivers. So these two are entwined in NFL history. Manning has his Super Bowl ring, Rivers, under the hapless coaching of Norv Turner, has yet to obtain his.

Here is an interesting article about them and this game. I'd forgotten, Ben Roethlisberger was in their "draft class" that year.

I'm cheering my Chargers on today! I hope they can come together to overcome the Giants. The odds aren't good, but GO CHARGERS!!
