You'd expect the Chargers to try and good dose of the running game against N.O., to avoid a shoot-out with Brees but then again, that would be an opportunity for a supposedly bad N.O. defense to stop a predictable running game by stacking at the line, which is what I'd do if I was their defensive coordinator - stack the line, stop the run and pressure Rivers.
But strictly Mathews Vs. Battle I think you have to take Mathews -- injury potential aside -- this week as he is one more step away from the doghouse he was in.
