2. Take Advantage of Philip Rivers` Mistakes

Last week against the Chiefs, Philip Rivers was nothing short of awful. Rivers completed only 50% of his passes and tossed three interceptions. If he gets under any sort of pressure, Philip Rivers will throw plenty of passes that are interceptable. It will be up to the Philadelphia Eagles secondary to take advantage of those opportunities.

At the same time though, Rivers has a plethora of options to throw the football to. Keenan Allen, Travis Benjamin and Antonio Gates are all receivers who can make a big play at any time. If any of these guys get open, Philip Rivers will be able to hit them and take advantage of the big play opportunities.

The Philadelphia Eagles secondary will definitely have their hands full. Luckily they are expected to get back Rodney McLeod which should aid in their pursuit of slowing down this Chargers offense.

At the end of the day though, the key will be getting enough pressure on Philip Rivers to force a few of those mistake balls and then for the secondary to cash in and take advantage of those throws.
