Seahawks vs Chargers Preview
The Seattle Seahawks (3-3) and Los Angeles Chargers (4-2) once met twice a year as members of the AFC West.
Seattle moved to the NFC in 2002 and have only played five times since. The Chargers have won the past two meetings in 2014 and 2018, and the Seahawks last won in 2010. All five ofr the matchups have been decided by nine or fewer points.
Close games has been the reality for the Chargers of late with one-score wins against the Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns. The Chargers beat the Broncos 19-16 on a Taylor Bertolet field goal last week, an Bertolet previously did that to the Browns in a 30-28 win for Week 5.
Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has another stellar season going with 1,716 yards passing for 10 touchdowns versus three interceptions. Running back Austin Ekeler has been solid running the ball with 349 yards and four touchdowns thus far.
Defense has been a big part of the Chargers’ success, too, despite the absence of Joey Bosa due to injury.
”Guys are stepping up, just kind of doing their job and playing within their roles,” Chargers linebacker Drew Tranquil said via The Associated Press. ”When you lose a superstar like Joey, other guys have to step up, and I think you’re seeing that.”
Seattle comes into the game winners of two of the past three games. The Seahawks beat the Arizona Cardinals 19-9 last week in bouncing back from a 39-32 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Seattle previously edged the Detroit Lions 48-45 after a close loss to the Atlanta Falcons, 27-23.
The Seahawks defense looked tough against the Cardinals, and that unit looks to do more on Sunday.
”The production that we had last week with the tackle for losses, the sacks, the pressures on the QBs, and the hits, obviously it worked, so why don’t we keep it up,” Seahawks linebacker Uchenna Nwosu said via The Associated Press.
Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith has been solid in replacing Russell Wilson, who left via a trade with the Broncos. Smith threw for 1,502 yards and nine touchdowns versus two interceptions in the first six games of the season.
”I don’t think that it is a surprise that they are scoring the ball because they have the pieces to score,” Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said via The Associated Press. ”I think Geno is doing an outstanding job distributing, taking care of the football and leading that group. A very, very tough cover and a very impressive group.”
Rashaad Penny and Kenneth Walker III have been a solid tandem at running back with two touchdowns apiece. Both backs average 5.5 yards per carry or better.
