San Diego County has Chargers Fever; the upcoming challenge between the New York Jets and the Chargers today has everyone filled with anticipation. Yesterday the local grocery stores were jammed with shoppers loading up with goodies for Sunday's/todays game. The local transit district is planning out routes that can be taken by using the bus or train, and leaving your vehicle at home.
The weather is as close to an autumn day as it can get. Going into this game the Jets have the No. 1 rushing attack in the league and will look to continue their dominance up front in San Diego. Gang Green has developed an identity and it is one of a physical unit (on both sides of the ball) that will stay committed to the run at all costs because they are built for it.
It doesn't hurt that the Chargers were ranked 20th against the run during the regular season and 16th in overall defense. The two-headed monster consisting of Thomas Jones and rookie Shonn Greene combined for 169 yards and two touchdowns in the Wild Card victory over Cincinnati.
With that said, the most intriguing part of this will be how effective the Jets will be given the fact that the Chargers know Jets will (and must) run the ball to have success on offense.
The challenge for the Jets will be dealing with San Diego's vast arsenal of weapons.
