Today at 4:05 p.m. ET, the Seattle Seahawks (1-0) and San Diego Chargers (0-1) take the field at Qualcomm Stadium for Week 2 NFL action live from San Diego. The game can be live streamed here. Seattle fans can hear all of the action on ESPN 710 while San Diego fans can do the same on Mighty 1090.
Defending Super Bowl champion Seattle is coming off of a 36-16 Week 1 victory over the Green Bay Packers and comes in on 10 days rest while San Diego enters just six days removed from its first action of the season on Monday night where dropped its season opener 18-17 to the Arizona Cardinals.
The Seahawks may have turned in a dominant performance over the Packers in Week 1, but they seemed to be feeling the effects of some of the personnel changes on their defense.
"It was off. We weren't up to par. We weren't up to snuff, and I think everyone feels that way," cornerback Richard Sherman, who wasn't targeted, told ESPN. "We've got to play better."
The Chargers blew an 11-point third quarter lead and ended up falling to the Cardinals Monday, but one positive take away was the performance of Malcolm Floyd, who missed 14 games last season with a neck injury.
Floyd had four catches for 50 yards and a touchdown in Week 1.
"[We need to] just move on," Floyd said per ESPN after the loss. "It's time to get ready for the Seahawks. We have another tough game coming up. Their secondary is pretty good, and we're fortunate enough to have gone against great secondaries this preseason as well as [Seattle] to get a taste for them. So it's sort of promising looking ahead to the next game."
Running back Ryan Mathews also got on the board for San Diego as he rushed for 40 yards on 12 carries and found the back of the end zone once.
Quarterback Philip Rivers, who found Floyd four times, went 21-for-36 (58.3%) for 238 yards with a touchdown and an interception last week against Arizona.
The Seahawks have won six of their last seven meetings with the Chargers and Russell Wilson will look to progress in his third season after going 19-for-28 (67.9%) for 191 yards with two scores and no picks to kick it off in Week 1.
The Seahawks dominated the Chargers 41-14 in the preseason on Aug. 15 and Wilson had a big game along with wide receiver Percy Harvin and running back Marshawn Lynch.
Harvin had seven receptions for 59 yards in Week 1 while Lynch carried the ball 20 times for 110 yards and found the end zone twice.
The Seahawks look to improve to 2-0 while the Chargers hope to notch their first win of the season when these teams take the field this afternoon at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.
