Packers come off bye with trip to San Diego

Published: Nov 02, 2011 at 10:04 AM

Why to watch
The Chargers have been juggling starting corners with the pass defense suffering, and now they get Aaron Rodgers off a bye week. Good luck with that, San Diego. Most figured these would be the most prolific offenses in the NFL before the season began, but only Green Bay has delivered thus far.

Inside story
The Packers have the kind of corners and safeties who could withstand the likes of big pass catchers like Vincent Jackson and Antonio Gates. Philip Rivers might end up dumping off a lot of balls to Ryan Mathews with Green Bay bringing the heat on the blitz.
