Chargers a matchup of top two NFL passers Although the San Diego
Chargers and Denver Broncos are sitting in third and fourth place in the
AFC West, respectively, no one is blaming quarterbacks Philip Rivers and
Kyle Orton as the two rank No. 1 and No. 2 respectively in passing yards
and will face off this week on Monday Night Football. Rivers, in fact,
leads the No. 1 offense in the NFL, but his Chargers still sit at 4 5,
largely in part to some shoddy special teams and injuries NFL jerseys cheap
to key players such as Antonio Gates and Ryan Mathews. "I'll
tell you what, every year he gets better. He's NFL jerseys wholesale
had some spectacular seasons and I don't know how he gets better
every year he's just one of those guys you have to keep grinding
(against) because he's going to make some plays," Broncos
cornerback Champ Bailey said. Rivers has five 300 yard passing games
this season and two 400 yard games as the Chargers have won their past
two games and look to rebound from a tough start, which has Mlb jerseys china
become the norm for this team the past few years. Orton, on the other
hand, has been a bright spot for a Broncos team that lost four in a row
before beating the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday, but lack of a running
game and injuries on the offensive and defensive fronts have been some
of the main issues for Denver, certainly not the play of their
quarterback. Orton has thrown for 2,806 yards and 16 touchdowns with
just five interceptions and has a new favorite target in receiver
Brandon Lloyd, who leads the NFL in receiving yards entering Week 11.
Orton, like Rivers, has five 300 yard passing games, but only one 400
yard passing game, and may be undervalued due to his team's poor
performance. "That's an unfortunate situation, but I think
that's not necessarily the end of the story either," Broncos
head coach Josh McDaniels said. "We have more games to play and our
season now is going to be judged on how much we improve and how much
Kyle can be a part of that improvement. He's certainly done plenty
as an individual and plenty with our offense in the passing game."
So with the top two quarterbacks, there Elite nfl jerseys
could be some fireworks in the passing game tomorrow night, especially
for Rivers, who faces a Denver defense that is 19th against the pass.
The Chargers' defense poses a tougher matchup for Orton, as they
post the third best defense against the pass.
