5-0 Green Bay Packers host the San Diego Chargers; NFL week 6 game preview

The 2-3 San Diego Chargers travel to Lambeau Field to take on the 5-0 Green Bay Packers. San Diego lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers on the last play of the game on Monday night. The Packers defense pressured the St. Louis Rams and Nick Foles all afternoon enroute to their victory.

Philip Rivers leads the league in passing yards with 1,613 yards. Many of those yards came without his favorite target Antonio Gates who was suspended for the first four weeks. The Chargers drafted Melvin Gordon in the first round to bolster their running game. To this point, Gordon is only averaging 54 yards per game and has fumbled twice. The biggest question mark is the offensive line. Five lineman are listed on the injury report and King Dunlap and Chris Hairiston did not practice. 

The Packers defense ranks seventh in total yards allowed (316.4 yards per game) and second in sacks (20). Although the run defense statistically ranks 28th in the league, they have actually set the tone early in games. When you take away the 55 yard run that Todd Gurley had, he only averaged 3.6 yards per carry. They have won the point of attack and limited the running game early.
