Philip Rivers has been looking good this season.  He is coming into tomorrows game with 196 career touchdown passes.  If he gains four he will become the 34th QB in NFL history with 200 career TD’s.  This in a possible milestone since Rivers has made seven touchdown passes in the first two games, the most by a Chargers quarterback in the first two games of a season since Dan Fouts threw seven in Weeks 1-2 of the 1980 season. With two more, Rivers will match his best-ever start through Weeks 1-3 of a season.

Antonio Gates will play in his 150th career game on Sunday. He needs just two points to reach 500 for his career, and also to pass Lance Alworth (500 pts.) for fifth on the team’s all-time scoring list.  Two points!!!  Antonio also has 650 career catches and needs 12 to tie Hall of Famer Ozzie Newsome for fourth most by a tight end in NFL History.

Watch for these milestones and enjoy the game!  #OneCharge #IBelieve
