Philip Rivers May Underperform In Week 5
5 years agoLos Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers may not put up huge numbers in Week 5, but it's probably not going to be because of his play. It will likely be more related to Denver's weakness to the run. So far, Denver's defense has been one of the worst in the league against the run, and in exchange, they haven't allowed a single quarterback to throw for more than 259 yards against them. Only one QB has put up two touchdowns through the air, and Denver's defense hasn't allowed more than 27 points all year. While Rivers has the most weapons of any passer that's faced Denver so far, it's more likely the two-headed monster of Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler does the majority of the damage this week.
