The injury report for the Chargers reads like a rap sheet of decimation:
Chargers gave it everything against the Ravens, would have had that game for not the "Hey diddle-diddle Ray Rice up the middle" 4th and 29.
This Cincinnati team is rounding into form, with AJ Green being a dominant receiver along with Jermain Gresham covering the middle of the field, this pass-attack has been quite potent. Even the Law-firm is having a great year. Dalton is exhibiting another good year and seems to be growing into his role, which isn't saying much for anyone that saw him play at TCU.
With all this said, this Chargers defense is not going to be able to stop Cincinnati, the last time these two played Chargers edged Bengals by a last minute FG, with Carson Palmer as the Bengals QB. These two teams are completely different this year, with SD being battered, beaten, and done.
Additionally this San Diego Offensive line is horrendous, surrendering 6 sacks against a Ravens defense that is somewhat mediocre compared to past years. Rivers is always running for his life or throwing off his back foot.
This is not going to be pretty for San Diego, but even then they could keep it close for a quarter or so, with the Bengals ultimately breaking away.
Bengals 27-21.
